Rec center visit

The goals of the YMCA are to provide a place for people of all ages to be able to go and do the things that they like to do. There is a sign in the lobby that states “We build strong kids, strong families, strong communities”. This lets you know it is a well rounded place that does not focus on one group of people. The YMCA provides programs for all ages from toddlers to mature adults. They have before and after school programs for parents that are not able to be with their children in the mornings before school or after

They Y also offers sports programs for people of all ages. For younger children there is gymnastics, hockey, T-ball, soccer, swimming, and baseball. Each sport has different age groups so that children are able to play with other kids their same age or within a year or two of them. For adults there is basketball, soccer, softball, and flag football. Sports for adults are coed but they also offer men’s and woman’s leagues. By having coed sports it gives all people of all ages a chance to just have fun and meet new people and make new friends. But for a more competitive game you can play in a men’s or women’s league.

YMCA also has many other programs to get involved in. They have a fully equipped fitness center with free weights and nautilus equipment. Since they have both of these it gives all people a chance to workout in a fashion that works best for them. Someone that wants to work on building muscle can use the free weights and people that are just trying to stay in shape or tone their bodies can use the nautilus equipment. This is also good for older people because free weights tend to be difficult for older adults and can even be damaging to their bodies, and with nautilus equipment there is a more controlled motion with less strain on the body and you can do it alone without a spotter. You may also take classes in how to use fitness equipment properly in order to ensure your safety so you do not hurt yourself. Personal trainers are offered by appointment in order to help you develop a plan that best suits your needs, whether that is to lose weight, get in shape, or to tone your body. There are many other programs geared for everyone. Water aerobics classes are held in the Olympic sized pool. Also floor aerobics classes
