    Policies and Procedures for Youth

Youth 11-15 years of age can work out in the Wellness Center after completing 3

fitness orientations and receiving their Youth Fitness Badge. Youth must wear their badge at all times while in the Wellness Center and be accompanied by an adult.

 

The first orientation includes cardio equipment, the second orientation covers the

Cybex equipment and the third orientation is a review of any questions the youth may have from the two previous sessions. This demonstrates knowledge and understanding of machines, proper workout progression and gym etiquette.

 

Upon completion of the three fitness orientations youth are encouraged to attend an   Intro to Fitness class designed to further learn different types of exercise, learn a little about nutrition and healthy living.

 

**REMINDER** After receiving the Youth Fitness Badge, youth 11-15 are  welcome to workout on Cardio Equipment, Cybex Strength Equipment and in the Functional Fitness area. The Free Weight area is off limits until age 16.
