Youth Health & Fitness

We will allow youth to start working out in the fitness center in a safe and controlled environment. Below are the guidelines that must be followed in any of our wellness centers.

8 - 9 years of age may be able to use the fitness equipment after attending an orientation with a trainer or youth training class, and have received their certification card, which must be with them at all times while in the fitness center. Youth MUST be with a parent or guardian at all times.

10 – 15 years of age may be able to use the fitness equipment after attending an orientation with a trainer or youth training class and have received their certification card, and must have it on them at all times while in the fitness center.
