FitLinxx®
This is a computerized system that attaches directly to existing fitness equipment, adding an extraordinary ’intelligent’ dimension to the workout experience for the first time.
FitLinxx® learns users’ programs, coaches them individually through their workout for better form, safety and confidence during every exercise, and tracks their progress over time. Users simply tap in their PIN to display their targets. FitLinxx® then coaches them on speed, form, heart rate, etc., and tracks the workout session-every rep, set and step. Behind the scenes, all the exercise machines are networked into a central database, providing exercisers and staff access to a wealth of information on individual progress and a unique set of motivational tools. The system can be accessed on workout floor kiosks, at the staff computer station, or anytime/anywhere on the web.

Choosing a Personal Trainer
For a personal trainer to design a safe and effective workout, he or she should have education and experience. Being certified through a nationally recognized certifying agency insures the trainer is getting continuing education. This means the trainer is knowledgeable about the latest information and research on health and fitness issues and understands the principles of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, nutrition and exercise.
All YMCA Personal Trainers are certified by the YMCA or nationally recognized certifying agency, as well as CPR-certified.
