The YMCA Family Fitness program allows a parent/youth (age 8-12) team to strength train in the YMCA Fitness Center after completing a minimum of 2 Fitness Orientations with a YMCA Health and Fitness Coach and having a signed agreement on file.  The parent/child teams must attend the orientations together. 

Our Health and Fitness team has developed a Nautilus Strength Training  routine for youth 8-12 years old that is safe, effective and fun.  If it is determined that our Nautilus equipment does not fit your child's need, size, or abilities, we also have alternative exercises using free weights and other tools that we can demonstrate.  you will be given a Family Fitness Workout card for your child and during orientations our team will discuss safety issues, how and why to warm-up and why to stretch.  A YMCA Family Fitness Badge will be provided after completing the orientations and incentives are earned by completing 3 and 10 workouts with as a parent/child team.
