    Teen Weight Room Orientation (Ages 13-17)  
   

The fitness orientation is required for teens ages 13 - 17. Components include:

  • An introductory evaluation by one of our YMCA Fitness Coaches allows your teen to be placed in the appropriate youth fitness level.
  • Introduces teens to basic aspects of resistance training. Teens will learn how to safely perform a full-body strength routine and will be educated on proper weight room behavior and etiquette.
  • Teens will learn how to safely use the cardiovascular equipment and how to properly perform stretches.


Participation in the Teen Weight Room Orientation requires program registration, parental consent, health history and (if warranted) medical clearance.

 

Benefits to Teens

  • Strength development
  • Increase metabolism
  • Improved coordination and balance
  • Decreased incidence of injuries
  • Enhanced energy
  • Healthier self-image
       
 
 

As children grow into tweens, they reduce outdoor play activities. Some tweens maintain their physical activity levels by participating in organized sports (teams), but others are left on their own and, exercise less and less as they get older. To counter this trend and provide more opportunities for tweens to get active, Mission Valley YMCA is changing the way we target and appeal to youth.
