YCONNECT
WHAT IS YCONNECT?
YCONNECT is for new and returning members to meet with a Wellness Coach to
learn about what we offer and how we can help you reach your goals.
Because we know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y goes beyond just working out or learning the machines.

HOW IT WORKS

appointment will involve. - At this appointment, you will discuss your goals and receive additional brochures or schedules
addressing your area of interest. - The appointment may continue in the wellness center or family wellness center, pool or group
