PERSONAL TRAINING Y STYLE
Goals are always attainable. At the YMCA, we believe that everyone can reach their goals. Let us help you discover if a training program is the next step toward your goal. We offer free consultations for all members. Together, with one of our trainers, we'll work on developing a program that you – and your goals – can say “yes!” to. It's not just for muscle building but for the entire personal outlook enveloped in the Y's core values: caring, honesty, respect, inclusion and responsibility. We have stood behind these values for over 75 years in Idaho Falls and globally since 1844!
