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.

F.A.S.S.T. is the Y’s new Youth Functional Fitness training program.  Standing for Flexibility, Agility, Speed & Strength Training, this program is designed for boys and girls, ages 8 – 12, regardless of their sport of choice.  This is a sports-focused training program, led by one of Glenwood Park YMCA’s Personal Training staff in which participants will do various activities and drills that are essential to sports, in general.  Whatever sport your child aspires to excel in, this training will aide them in their athletic journey.  Please note, this program does not contain sport-specific skill training (i.e. – how to dribble a basketball, how to throw a football, etc.) – this is general fitness training for the children.  Additionally, this program is designed for children who are currently active in sports and want to further enhance their exercise routine.
