Fitness & Wellness

Our Fitness Center and Wellness Programs have been designed with our members’ needs in mind.  YMCA Members ages 13 and older are allowed to participate in all fitness programs.  Please see our program offerings below, or click to see:

Group Exercise Classes
A variety of Group Exercise Classes including Spinning, Yoga, Pilates, Kickboxing, and Step Aerobics are offered FREE to our YMCA Members. Exercise has shown to reduce stress, strengthen muscles, aid in weight management, improve body image and self-esteem. Exercising in groups increases the chance to stay with the program longer and more consistently, while also making it more FUN!

P.O.P. (Personalized Orientation Program)
P.O.P. is a FREE program included in your YMCA membership.  P.O.P. includes three individual sessions with our Fitness Staff to talk about your health and fitness goals, assess your current fitness level, personally design a customized fitness program, and encourage and motivate you to reach your potential.  To sign up for P.O.P., please visit our Fitness Center.

Personal Training
A Personal Trainer provides members with the motivation, education, guidance and individual instruction required to achieve their personal fitness goals. Trainers will design a tailored exercise program for each individual that reflects the member’s objectives, fitness level and experience. There are a variety of packages available to accommodate your needs.

The Greater Naples YMCA Personal Trainers are certified in various specialties and will provide you with one-on-one instruction, an individualized regimen and specific guidance toward personal growth.

Small Group Training
Enjoy our Group Exercise classes but want a smaller group setting?  Looking to challenge yourself?  Check out the YMCA's Small Group Training room, where we offer programs for everyone from high school athletes doing sports training to active older adults doing functional balance and stabilization training. Working in small groups of up to 9 people, YMCA instructors use functional equipment that challenges balance, stability, and works against gravity – “functional” because it mimics normal everyday activities more than a piece of equipment in a typical weight room.  Visit the Schedules page for the current program schedule.

YMCA Weight Loss Challenge
Why wait?  Join the YMCA weight loss challenge.  Participants will be challenged to drop unwanted body fat through nutrition counseling and exercise/wellness guidance for 8 weeks.
