Outdoor Personal Training
Taking care of our health is more important now than ever before. At the Y, we’re here to help you stay active and healthy and focus on what matters most: your health, your family and friends, and your community.
We are committed to ensuring you have opportunities to focus on your health and well-being, that’s why we are excited to be able to offer our Outdoor Personal Training Program.
Outdoor Personal Training will be a personal training session held outside that will be a combination of bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, dumbbells, kettlebells, conditioning drills and other activities that you and your trainer will incorporate to help you achieve your goals. To ensure your health and safety as one of our top priorities, we will be following the guidelines from our local health department and the CDC which includes health screenings, social distancing, cleaning, and personal protective equipment with every session.
Sessions can either be 30 minute or 60 minutes. Similar to our policies for indoor personal training, sessions purchased as 60 minute sessions cannot be split into two 30 minute sessions.
Yes! Outdoor Personal Training will be available at all branches of the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids.
