Free Health and Wellness Assessments
Health and Wellness Assessments powered by MicroFit
The YMCA's free health and wellness assessments can provide you with a 360-degree view of your health and fitness status.
Powered by MicroFit, these computerized assessments will measure everything from your body fat percentage to cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility and how your current lifestyle is affecting your overall well-being. At the end of your session, you'll receive a printout with your results and have the chance to discuss ways you can improve with a wellness specialist.
The YMCA offers unlimited access to thousands of group fitness classes as a membership benefit. Whether it's yoga, aerobics, cycling, Zumba or something in-between, there's sure to be a class worth incorporating into your wellness routine.
