Updates to YMCA at American Tobacco | February 2020

Our members have spoken, and we're responding with a fresh take on wellness at the YMCA at American Tobacco!

Simple. Unique. Versatile. 

We're excited to be welcoming a brand new Queenax functional training system to the branch in February. The Queenax is an all-in-one fitness tool designed specifically with personal and small group training in mind. The versatility of options allow for maximum utilization of our wellness floor space, with the flexibility to meet the needs of serious athletes, casual exercisers, seniors and everyone in between.

Utilize suspension, balance, strength and cardio tools for high-intensity, calorie-blasting intervals and bodyweight strengthening.

Related Changes: Building a Smarter Wellness Floor

To create this new functional training space, our team has been tracking usage to determine which equipment could be removed with minimum impact on our members.

In some cases (back extension, ab crunch & seated overhead weight machines) can be replicated with specific exercises we will provide.

Under-utilized cardio equipment will be reduced in number (treadmills, bikes) or removed (ARC trainer and Octanes). 

Our team is committed to walking with you to navigate these changes and we're confident that the reallocation of space and new functional training capacity and programming will be a win for our members. 

Key Dates:

  • Friday, February 7 - Branch Closed (No Classes) for equipment removal and arrangement
  • Monday, February 10 - Branch Closed (No Classes) for Queenax installation and training
  • Tuesday, February 11 - Branch resumes regular hours
  • Monday - Wednesday, Feb. 17 - 19 & 24 - 26 - Queenax Orientations
