Youth Fitness Training -
New Program!
Previously, youth in the age range from 11-15 were
not allowed in the weight room or upstairs for use of the cardio
equipment. Starting in mid-April, a new Youth Fitness Training Program
has been started to train and "certify" youth to use the weight room and
cardio equipment.
The training will emphasize the health benefits of
working out and train them on selected machines, and the track, so they
can work out independently. After attending the training, and passing a
series of written and practical tests, they will be given color-coded
wristbands for each training level completed. There will also be an
incentive program, with prizes to be awarded for achieving various
levels of use and proficiency.
This is designed for the Member Youth to learn the
fundamentals of fitness training and proper use of the machines, so they
will reduce the risk of injury, and choose exercise as a life-long habit
for optimal health.
The training is structured
in the following manner:
Phase 1: Member Youth 11 and older
Attend a 60 minute training covering key elements of
fitness; importance of a balanced , well-rounded workout; focus on
aerobic exercise; and achieving optimal cardio health. Upon completion,
each youth will sign an agreement to follow the rules and guidelines
provided by the Y fitness staff. with the appropriate band, the
graduates will be allowed the use of the indoor track; designated bikes,
rowers and stair climbers.
Phase 2: Member Youth 13 and older
Those who have completed Phase 1 will need to
schedule an individual appointment with fitness staff to receive further
instruction on elliptical machines; treadmills; and arc trainers.
After completion, they will be given the color band signifying use of
the additional machines.
Phase 3: Member Youth age 14 and older
If you have completed Phases 1 & 2, you will be
eligible for Teen Strength Training, a 10 session training program on
the use of resistance training equipment in a safe and healthy manner.
It will concentrate on lifting technique, stretching, basic anatomy, and
nutrition, while continuing the emphasis on aerobic activity. Teen
Strength Training graduates will be certified to use the Weight Room.
After June 30, youths age 11-15 will
not be allowed upstairs unless they are wearing the appropriate wrist
bands.

appreciation of their own worth as individuals. We encourage you
to set a positive environment for your child and the rest of the
children in Youth Sports. Our character shows in our behavior,
how we practice values, forgiveness, hard work, sportsmanship,
