Group Exercise Classes
The music, the instructor and the group will combine to increase motivation and to make exercising fun. The YMCA offers a variety of group exercise classes from the hard-core step aerobics, Spinning, kickboxing, body conditioning and senior oriented classes to the mind/body connection classes like yoga and pilates. We offer dance classes as well! Our staff can help select the classes that are right for individual needs and schedules. Our classes are free with facility membership.

Cardiovascular and Strength Training

Personal Training
Our certified trainers are available for the individual who needs more personal attention and wants the guidance and support that a personal trainer can give. Our trainers get to know the style, obstacles and goals of their clients and can design a routine that will motivate and be effective for maximum achievement.
