Get Fit
Get and stay healthy with YMCA classes that welcome all ages and fitness levels. Why tackle it alone when you can receive much needed inspiration and motivation from classmates? Studies show you’ll push yourself harder when tasked with exercising with others who are working hard and more effort equals bigger results! Let’s Go!
Get Healthy
Want to kick your workouts up a notch? Exercise with others! Meeting up with friends to take a group class helps with consistency because they involve a commitment. Positive peer pressure can help you avoid skipping a workout or exercise session. Grab a buddy, pick a class and get moving!
Connect with Others
Exercising with someone you don’t know well provides an opportunity to build a new friendship. You’ll be starting with a shared interest which can make it easier to chat about other things. Joining an exercise class can be a great way to meet people, get to know them better, and make new friends.
Exercise can lead to a healthy spirit, mind and body.
Want to feel better and have more energy? Add exercise into your routine! The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age or physical ability and it’s never too late to start! As your body adapts to new aerobic challenges, you’ll get stronger and fitter. Over the long-term, you’ll enjoy increased stamina and reduced fatigue. You can also gain increased heart and lung health and bone and muscle strength over time. As a bonus, exercise activates your immune system in a good way. This may leave you less susceptible to minor viral illnesses. Get moving and start reaping the rewards.
It’s no surprise that the more you help your body, the more you help your mind. Physical activity increases the flow of oxygen to your brain. It also increases the amount of endorphins, the “feel-good” chemicals, in your brain. For this reason, it’s not surprising that people who are in good physical shape also tend to enjoy a higher level of mental agility. Engaging in a vigorous physical workout can help you blow off steam and gain a more positive outlook on life. It’s also a great way to de-stress, since stress can harm you mentally and physically.
Community
Did you join the YMCA to be a part of a community? If so, attending a Group Exercise class is the perfect place to start! We have a large variety of classes to ensure there is something for everyone, no matter age, background or ability. Classes are a great place to meet new friends that turn into great accountability partners.
Motivation
Our Group Exercise classes are fun and engaging! Sometimes you forget you’re even working out with all of the great energy and music in the studio. If you have a day that you’re not motivated to come the gym, try signing up for one of our group exercise classes. Our certified instructors are sure to motivate you through your workout!
Structure
Attending a Group Exercise class on a regular basis creates structure in your workout routine. Our reservation system allows you to schedule yourself for a class up to 3 days in advance and add it to your personal calendar.
