Personalize Your Workout Plan
For Daniel, a firefighter, staying fit is part of the job. But after years of doing the same workouts he learned in high school, he found that a YMCA personal trainer helped take his fitness to the next level. “Having someone personally structure exercises for you is very helpful, especially when I might be having some back pain or shoulder issues,” he said. “My personal trainer helps me modify my exercises to work around any injuries.” Get Kids Moving Too Healthy habits start early! The Cota kids enjoy taking part in YMCA programs like Kid’s Fit, soccer and the YMCA Thunder Basketball League. “Through the Kid’s Fit class, they’ve learned how to properly use gym equipment, done calisthenics and speed drills, and worked on sports coordination and agility,” said Sara. The youth programs at the YMCA build coordination and confidence while keeping kids active and having fun. Make It a Family Habit The Cotas agree that what makes the YMCA special is its welcoming, family-friendly environment. “The YMCA has something for everyone and is reasonably priced, making it ideal for families,” Daniel said. “Everyone should feel comfortable at the YMCA. There are people of all ages, skills and abilities there.” Whether you’re wanting to reach your health goals, needing time to unwind or looking for ways to keep the kids active, the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City offers friendly spaces, affordable options and programs designed for the whole family.
