Y Personal Fitness
Work with a personal fitness coach to map out a flexible program that works for YOU!
The YMCA Personal Fitness program is a structured 12-week program designed to help YMCA members who are new to exercise, returning after a lengthy absence, unable to establish an exercise routine, or coming back from an injury or illness. You will meet with a personal fitness coach four times over a 12-week period. Your coach will monitor your progress and provide feedback on a weekly basis. Individual exercise sessions are done at your convenience and Y Personal Fitness coaches are available in the Fitness Center to answer questions and help.
Here's how it works!
You will set up an initial appointment at the Service Center. You will be assigned a personal fitness coach and will meet with your coach four times over the course of the program.
- Your first appointment will be a time for you to get to know and develop a relationship with your coach, identify your fitness goals, identify any barriers to reaching your fitness goals, discuss your present fitness level and have an orientation to the cardiovascular equipment.
- Your second appointment will be used to review the first four weeks of your program, discuss any difficulties that you encountered, discuss strategies for overcoming those difficulties, and to add the first five pieces of strength equipment to your program.
- The third appointment will be very similar to the second, including adding more pieces of strength equipment.
- The final or closing appointment is when you celebrate your graduation from the program. You will review your entire program, answer questions, discuss how you would like to progress and plan for the future.
By the end of this 12-week program you will be feeling better and more energetic and will have learned to enjoy the process. We will work with you on a plan to keep exercise in your life.
You’ll be on your way to feeling better and successfully incorporating fitness into your life!
