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: Your Path To Wellness
Everybody’s path to wellness is a little different, let us help you find the right exercises and choices for your personal plan to a better health and well-being.
Our Smart Start Program is a series of three complimentary coaching sessions, designed to support you in pursuit of your health and wellness goals. A Coach will meet with you to discuss your needs and interests. Together, you’ll develop an achievable plan for success.
