Commit to Fit

Why get a FREE Commit to Fit consultation?  Commit to Fit consultations are one hour sessions designed for our new members, but this is a great opportunity for all Y members. Guidance from a personal trainer can help you reach your goals faster.

  • New members: A fantastic way for new members to get introduced to all the Y has to offer. You’ll learn the best ways to make the most of your new membership.
  • Seasoned members: A Commit to Fit consultation can help you uncover areas for improvement. It can also help get you out of a workout rut by discovering new equipment or exercises.

Contact Amber York, Healthy Living Specialist, at 327-1161 ext 232 or email Amber to schedule a session.

What is a session like?

Each session usually lasts about an hour.
The first meeting can be devoted to assessing fitness level, body measurements, exercise and health history and goals. Be prepared to step on the scale, have your body fat tested and answer specific questions about your goals. After that, you'll spend each session doing cardio, weight training, flexibility or other activities depending on what your goals are. Your trainer will show you how to do the exercises, help you figure out how much weight to use and give you pointers for getting the most out of each exercise.
