Wellness Center


The Wellness Center, located at the newly constructed northeast portion of the YMCA is a facility with the equipment and the staff to address the physical health needs of individuals. This facility is serviced as a partnership between the YMCA and Fairfield Medical Center.

Fairfield Medical Center provides an array of programs and services through a team of Certified Athletic Trainers who work out of the Wellness Center. Information about their programs is located at the service counter in the Wellness Center. Information may also be received by calling 654-9195.

The YMCA supervises member usage in the Wellness Center by showing them how to use equipment and maintaining cleanliness. Equipment orientations are offered free of charge to members by appointment with YMCA staff. These appointments are made in the Wellness Center. Personal trainers are available to customize individual workouts.

Equipment includes 32 cardiovascular machines, 24 selectorized strength machines, 23 pieces for free weight strengthening, and two stretching machines. Dumbbells up to 125 pounds and several accessory pieces (straps, belts, bars, bands, balls, etc.) complement the training routine. The perimeter of the Wellness Center is surrounded by a track for walking or running and stretching areas.

In an effort to be user friendly, this facility is accessible any time the YMCA is open for business. There is no sign-in sheet and no equipment reservations - just start right in! Feel free to ask any YMCA or Fairfield Medical Center staff if you need assistance. Simple rules are posted for your information and safety in the Wellness Center.

WELLNESS CENTER BULLETIN BOARD

 

As a reminder, stop by and look at our bulletin board located on the wall adjacent to the elevator. Not only do you see business advertisements, but also information about new classes, class changes, special events, humor, and more. At the bottom are holders for flyers and brochures that might be of interest to you.

Wellness Center Guidelines

 

Please note the three big signs placed in the Wellness Center. We thank you for your cooperation in observing those rules. Also, we have posted smaller signs recruiting your help with spraying off equipment after you have used it. This is very helpful as a deterrent to disease - our spray bottles contain a cleaning and sanitizing agent.

DUMBBELL USAGE

 

We continue to request that members exercising with dumbbells please not drop them on the floor. Much damage occurs upon landing. The matting gets cut up, bolts on the dumbbells snap, benches get ripped and broken, etc. Please take care. Also, when exercising with them please stand away from the racks so other members can access other dumbbells. Finally, when you are all through using the dumbbells return them to the rack. Thanks for your cooperation!

HEALTH INFORMATION

 

We are trying to keep fresh information available about exercise, nutrition, etc. in the way of selected articles from fitness magazines, professional journals and other forms of media. These are placed in the larger slots at the bottom of our bulletin board in the Wellness Center. Feel free to take them for yourself and enjoy!

NEW ROWER

 

In March we purchased a new rowing ergometer from Concept 2. It is higher than the old one so the sitting is much easier. The computer monitor is closer, larger and self-generated, which is a big improvement. It is quiet and very smooth. Rowing works most muscle groups and can be very aerobic. See staff if you have any questions or need suggestions for workout ideas. Give this a try!
