YOUTH FITNESS

In an effort to increase the opportunities for all members to improve their personal health and wellness, the YMCA has expanded the ages allowed in our facilities.

Members ages 13-15 years may be in the YMCA facilities, including fitness centers and group exercise classes, without a parent as long as they have received an orientation. This age may use selectorized fitness and cardio equipment and can use free weights after completing a teen orientation.

Members ages 10, 11 & 12 are allowed to be in facility, including fitness centers, with parent or guardian in the same room/eye sight. Orientations strongly recommended. Parent or guardian must be a member. This age may use selectorized fitness equipment and cardio equipment but no free weights. This age may also attend group exercise classes with a parent or guardian, but the child must fit properly on the bike to attend cycle class. 

Members ages 9 and under are able to use area appropriate for their age bracket (i.e. racquetball, basketball courts and swimming pool) with parent or guardian, but not fitness equipment. 

*Kids under the age of 10 are not allowed to sit in the fitness centers or group exercise while parents/guardians works out. 
 

Please check with the wellness staff at your local branch for more information around orientations.
