WELLNESS PROGRAMS
THE PATH TO WELLNESS STARTS HERE
Programs to enhance your health and well being
At the Y, a supportive community is a big part of wellness. At every age and every level of activity, you’ll find people just like you looking to live a little bit healthier, and our wellness programs are designed to help.
Wellness is about being active, making healthy choices, and feeling great in mind, body and spirit. Classes, seminars, and personal training at the YMCA address every angle to get you on the path to a better, healthier you.
- Smart Start
Everybody’s path to wellness is a little different, let us help you get started in the right direction.
During this hour, you’ll learn how to use our cardio and strength equipment safely and effectively. It’s also a chance to ask questions and get personalized tips from one of our wellness staff members.
- Personal Training
Are you looking for guidance and a personalized workout plan? With the help of a certified personal trainer, you will learn proper form, set attainable goals, and be kept accountable on your journey. Personal training is geared towards all levels and is offered in one-on-one and small group formats.
To get started, you’ll meet one-on-one with a certified personal trainer to talk through your wellness goals. The trainer will assess your current fitness level, so you know exactly where you’re starting.
Your trainer will then recommend a program that fits your goals, experience, and needs.

InBody: Body Composition Scan
Elevate Your Fitness Journey with InBody
Understanding your health goes beyond just the number on the scale. At the YMCA, we offer InBody, a professional-grade body composition analysis that provides a detailed roadmap of what your body is truly made of.
Why Choose InBody?
Unlike standard scales, InBody uses patented bioelectric analysis technology to provide a precise breakdown of your physical makeup, including:
- Body Fat Percentage: Move beyond BMI to understand your actual fat-to-muscle ratio.
- Skeletal Muscle Mass: Measure your muscle development to see the real impact of your workouts.
- Body Fat Mass: Track exactly how much fat you are carrying to better manage your health risks.
Transform Your Results
By identifying your specific balance of lean mass and body fat, our trainers can help you drive the focus of your program. Whether you want to build strength, lose weight, or improve athletic performance, the InBody scan provides the data needed to tailor your workouts for maximum efficiency.
Ready to Get Started?
The InBody screen is quick, non-invasive, and takes less than 45 seconds. Consultations are available by appointment with our certified personal trainers.
