YOUTH FITNESS MEMBERSHIP (Y.F.M.) New!
For youth ages 10 and over.
This newly-designed program provides youth with more fitness options and allows them to utilize the cardio and weight rooms in the Wellness Center. Youth are invited to get their Youth Fitness Membership (Y.F.M.) which will allow them to use the Wellness Center any time during staffed hours when they present their Y.F.M. membership card. To obtain this membership, youth will attend an orientation class to learn how to use designated cardio machines (stationary bikes, treadmills, cross trainers, etc.) as well as appropriate Nautilus strength training machines for upper body, lower body and abdominal strengthening. They will also learn how to correctly perform exercises such as abdominal crunches, push-ups and more. For those interested, a program design will be available to help participants easily build various workouts which incorporate cardio, strength, core and stretching components. Youth will also be coached on appropriate gym etiquette. Wellness center staff will be available to assist our Y.F.M. participants.
