Smart Start Program
At the YMCA, we offer you the opportunity to work with a Healthy Living coach to help you meet your goals. Whether you're just getting started or want a custom workout plan, we'll help you make the most of your Y membership!
Intro
Our Smart Start Program is a series of up to three free fitness coaching sessions, designed to support you in pursuit of your health and wellness goals. Let our qualified Healthy Living Coaches work with you: From showing you how to properly operate machines to discussing your needs and interests, you can begin, or continue, your health journey.
You will get a better understanding of how to make the Y's fitness tools work for you and develop a plan for success.

At a Glance
Members who participate in our Smart Start Program are six times more likely to reach their goals, whatever they may be. Whether you’re new to exercise or are comfortable in your regular workout routine, we will help you make the most of your YMCA membership.
Smart Start is an opportunity for us to create your personalized road map for success and support you along the way, whether you're interested in group fitness, swimming, walking, family programs, cycling, weight training, or all of the above.
As you prepare for your first Smart Start session, ask yourself the following questions:
- What are your goals?
- Why are they important to you?
- What has helped you be successful in the past?
- What tends to get in your way?
Together, we’ll develop a workout and accountability plan that works best for you.
