Youth Fitness Orientation (Ages 8-14 )
At the Y, keeping youth safe is our top priority. We’ve developed a youth orientation to the Y’s Wellness Centers that concentrates on the components for a safe cardio and strength workout. We’ve designed this course in consultation with industry experts to make sure that equipment and exercises support healthy muscular growth.  We appreciate your active participation in making sure that your kids are safely using equipment and properly performing exercises. Youth are also educated about our fitness Code of Conduct and YMCA Character Values.

• Youth 8-10 will complete the Youth Fitness Orientation alongside their parents and a Y staff member. Parents may accompany youth 11 & up; however, this is not required.
• Upon completion, youth 8-10 must be accompanied by an adult (21 & up) while working out. To ensure safety, the adult must be working out alongside the child, not just in the same area.

After registration, you will be contacted by our Wellness Center staff to schedule a day and time to meet. We will do our best to accommodate requests, but availability may be limited due to staffing

Upon completion, a note will be made in the participant’s membership record.

Orientations are approximately 1 hr. long.

Strong Start is a 5-week instructional class designed to teach proper technique for the four primary compound barbell lifts: bench press, squat, deadlift, and overhead press. This course is movement-focused and emphasizes correct positioning, control, and consistency rather than strength development or load progression. Each session isolates one lift and focuses exclusively on proper setup, controlled execution, and repeatable movement patterns.

Participants under the age of 15 MUST complete our Youth Fitness Orientation prior to taking this course.
