YGT EXPLAINED:
The goal of YGT is to provide a space for new and existing Y MEMBERS to connect, share personal accountability and reach common goals together, through commitment, hard work, consistency and fun.

The 45-minute experience is shared by at least 4 but no more than 8-12 members.  Sessions are offered in monthly sign-ups, 1-2 times per week, 8 sessions per month. By registering, participants commit to the entire month with the same group, day, time and YGT Coach.  Workouts are equipment based, high energy and include cardio/internal & strength and formats adaptable to all fitness levels.

YGT WORKOUTS:
Participants will experience 2 workout types to improve Metabolic Conditioning and Strength Conditioning.  Workouts are adaptable and can be scaled up or down to meet each participants needs for improved health and fitness.

Metcon
Short for metabolic conditioning, Metcon workouts often combine cardio and strength training in anaerobic and aerobic formats, often including high intensity intervals. The goal is to improve endurance and metabolic efficiency.

Strengthcon
Resistance training, also known as strength training or weight training, is a form of exercise that involves working against resistance to improve muscular strength, size, and endurance. This resistance can be provided by external weights, such as dumbbells, barbells, or resistance bands, or by the body’s own weight. Resistance training helps to build and maintain muscle mass, improve bone density, and reduce the risk of injuries.
