For some, self-directed health, and fitness work well. Others respond better to personal guidance and support.
Our new approach — rooted in integrative health and whole-person wellbeing practices — gives you another option for healthy living at the Y.
Instead of a "one size fits all" program, our board-certified practitioners and personal trainers help you plan and navigate your wellbeing journey.
Purchase Sessions
Never worry about running out of sessions by enrolling in our Personal Training subscription program. Choose from 4, 8, or 12 sessions per month to best fit your weekly training schedule.
