What is YThrive?

The YThrive program is designed to support your fitness experience at your YMCA. All the exercises can be completed in 50-minutes or less and will require equipment found at your YMCA. One-on-one YThrive coaches will show you how to perform the exercises.

What are the YThrive program streams?

YThrive features 5 unique streams of workouts for members to choose from and are based on their health & fitness goals. These streams are BEGIN, BALANCE, BOOST, FLEX, and GROW (for children ages 10-15). The BALANCE, BOOST and FLEX streams refresh every 30 days. Be sure to check in with your YThrive coach to learn the updated routine. A brand new program will be released every 90 days with the exception of BEGIN. If you’re in the BEGIN program and you’re ready to try something more challenging, try the BALANCE program.
