YThrive

YThrive is an exercise and coaching program set up to support members with their fitness experience at the YMCA. It’s the easiest way to get into the best shape of your life, and at no extra cost — that’s right, absolutely free forever — because you’re a valued Y member. The biggest barrier to getting and staying active isn’t necessarily the exercise itself, it’s knowing what exercises to do to reach your goals.  How many reps?  How many sets? How much cardio?  This exercise program gives you the tools you need so you can spend your time working on yourself, instead of worrying about planning exercises.

If you sign up for YThrive you will get a one-on-one session with one of our talented coaches to talk about what your goals are. The coach will work with you to come up with a personalized plan that best fits you and work with you at the Fitness Centre to go through the workouts! And, every 90 days, you get a new routine and a new set of results.
