For the beginner, YST & C I is a prerequisite to YST & C II. Your youngster will be introduced to the Olive Branch Family YMCA facility and informed on how the YMCA fits into their goal of becoming a healthier person. Your child will receive an orientation of the Wellness Center. Strength training technique will be demonstrated with an emphasis on proper form and execution not on the amount of weight lifted. A cardiovascular component is included to teach youth how to properly operate the treadmills, elliptical machines and stationary bikes to build cardio endurance. Safety is always our first priority. Upon successful completion of YST & C I youth may use the Wellness Center under parents supervision. Flexibility and basic nutrition are also included into the curriculum. Graduation is held during the last scheduled class of each session. (Thursday at 5:30 p.m. location will be announced).

For the youth that are now familiar with the Wellness Center equipment, we will advance them on to a more intense circuit training workout. The class will be a very structured weight training and cardiovascular circuit class led by an instructor. Your child will stay very active for the entire 45 minutes! Boys and girls ages 10 to 15 are eligible to register for this class as long as they have successfully completed YST & C I and are ready to increase the intensity level and focus on their individual goals. A fun class that will encourage a healthy lifestyle. Youth may repeat YST&C II at any time and as many times as they wish until they reach age 16.
