Starting a fitness routine at a gym can be intimidating, especially going at it alone. So the Y is here to help young women make connections to be able to continue their training together outside of the program and to nurture a community who support and encourage each other in their wellness journeys.
Every week, we will learn to use and progress on selectorized machines, cables, and dumbbells. In addition, we'll cover educational topics such as the importance of eating and doing so properly to fuel our bodies, the importance of exercising and strength training, why we should hydrate ourselves, as well as other health and fitness related categories.
It is important to put a positive perspective on female strength training, especially at a younger age. The Y's goal is to help young women gain confidence, promote body positivity, and become educated in and out of the gym.
