Building A Healthy Mind, Spirit & Body With YMCA Outdoor Training
The YMCA connects and empowers people of all ages, and works towards building a healthy mind, spirit, and body. A large variety of wellness and exercise offers characterizes the YMCA program.
What would be more suitable for the concept than a MoveStrong training area?
Foothills YMCA in Seneca, SC added a MoveStrong Outdoor raining area for their members. The outdoor training space is used for group classes to improve the strength and conditioning of people in all age groups.
The challenge for MoveStrong: maximize the possibilities in the covered area to add more programming options and take members outside with specialty classes.
The layout and design of the training space have been based on group class needs. YMCA & MoveStrong worked closely together to create 100% suitable fitness space. The choice of tools and equipment follows a simple modular system: each customer can pick and choose a unique combination to fit their training needs, location, and budget.
The weather-resistant material pays off: MoveStrong equipment customized for outdoors can be used year-round.
The Y had 1,500 sqft to work with. One of the first decisions made was a division of the area into a free weight area and an athletic turf track to offer a large variety of workout possibilities.
MoveStrong Foundations FTS Rack was customized in size and training features needed for YMCA group programing and then went through special treatment to weatherize for outdoor use to withstand weather elements. Add the MoveStrong Drive Sled and Turf track, Dumbbells, Barbells, and a MoveStrong Functional Tires to support traditional strength and functional training needs. A variety of HIIT cardio and weights ensure a challenge for every user. Training with bodyweight exercises and working on agility and speed are enabled by the athletic turf track area, including a sled workstation.
Once layout and design have been chosen, all features can be customized in size, number, and even color. A selection of specialty fitness and performance surfacing accommodates safety and training needs or both Olympic lifting and functional training. To complete the process, MoveStrong coordinated installation of equipment and all surfacing for the outdoor space.
