Helpful Information ……..
v A YMCA EXCLUSIVE opportunity ----- Our “Tween Option” classes!
Classes designated as “Tween Option” are regular adult-level (not child’s) classes; they are
not lessened in any way, so adult participants get an effective workout. What makes
“Tween-Option” classes special is that children ages 10 and up may participate at that
time IF (1) the parent exercises along side the child, (2) the child can exercise safely in the
class, and (3) the child is not disruptive in any way to the instructor or the adults in the
room. For the safety of the child and the effectiveness of the class, the instructor has final
authority to determine if the child is ready for the class environment at this time.
v Unless ages are noted, classes are open to our members age 13 and up.
v If you wish to set aside a place in a Zumba or Cycling class, you may reserve your spot up to
one day in advance by calling 216-518-9622 or signing the reservation binder located at
the first floor welcome desk. You must be inside the exercise studio absolutely no later than
exactly 5 minutes before class is scheduled to begin; if not, you forfeit your reservation and
your spot will be given to whomever is waiting by the studio door.
v Express classes are time-efficient workouts lasting less than 30 minutes.
v Please bring with you a sweat towel and a water bottle. Wear clean, dry athletic shoes and
comfortable, breathable, modest clothing. Shoes must be safe and designed for exercise
(no open toes or heels).
v You may store personal items (purses, shoes, gym bags, etc.) in a locker or in the cubbies.
To ensure safety for our members, we keep the floors clear of all personal items.
v Please arrive in the studio at least 5 minutes BEFORE the designated start time. The warmup
is one of the most important parts of every class. Our instructors show respect to our
members by beginning and ending classes on time.
v Your well-being is in expert hands! All YMCA Group Exercise instructors are nationally
certified and trained in Group Exercise and specialty areas, CPR/AED for
Adults/Children/Infants, First Aid, and Emergency Oxygen Administration.
v We listen carefully to our members, so our class menu changes to reflect their wishes.
Please check often for schedule changes posted on our website and in our branch.
Our YMCA Mission:
To put Christian principles into practice though programs that build healthy spirit,
