Health & Wellness
The YMCA Health and Wellness
Programs are developmentally
appropriate and help people at any
stage of life build positive health habits.
Participation in YMCA programs offers
youth and adults opportunities for
friendship and community, a sense of
well-being, increased self-confidence
and improved mental abilities.
YMCA programs and services cut across
diverse populations with diverse needs
and attempt to take into account
the total health of each person. The
programs include land and water fitness
classes for individuals and families of all
ages, educational classes, personalized
training programs, noncompetitive
youth sports and social opportunities,
for seniors and families.
Fitlinxx®: This is a computerized
tracking tool that will take the place
of a workout card, give individual
instruction on range of motion and
speed, display seat settings, target goals
and record every workout session. It’s
easy to track your progress and make
adjustments to your program when you
have a workout notebook. FitLinxx® is
attached directly to fitness equipment,
adding an extraordinary “intelligent”
dimension to the workout experience.
FitLinxx® “learns” users’ programs,
“coaches” them individually through
their workout for better form, safety
and confidence during every exercise,
and “tracks” their progress over time.
All the exercise machines are networked
into a central database, providing
exercisers and staff access to a wealth of
information on individual progress and
a unique set of motivational tools. The
system can be accessed on workout floor
kiosks, at the staff computer station, or
anytime on the web.
By adding this unique mental edge to
physical training, FitLinxx® provides
better results for exercisers. Make an
appointment at the Welcome Center to
get set up. FitLinxx® is included in your
facility membership.
