Let's Get Started

If you know that you need to add exercise to your daily schedule, enroll in the "First Step."  Through this class, we will welcome you to a life-changing journey to better health and physical fitness.  Your personal exercise coach will take you through a 12 week program where emphasis is on adjusting to the exercise environment, establishing a consistent schedule, and familiarizing yourself with equipment and proper form.  You may eventually exercise on your own time between your four appointments with your coach.  Unique to the Prescott YMCA, this program encourages everyone, regardless of their age and ability level to energize their lives and create a healthy lifestyle.
