Teens, ages 13-15, who wish to have access to Village of Shorewood YMCA fitness equipment, cardio equipment, and group fitness classes ARE REQUIRED to complete a Teen Wellness Center certification class.
This 45-minute class will provide participants with comprehensive and informative training on how to properly utilize strength and cardio equipment. Participants will be required to pass a written and practical test the day of the course to receive their certification.
Teens who have completed the class will be required to wear a special wristband indicating certification when they enter the Wellness Center.
Cost: $20
