How do I get started?

• Stop by our Member Services office or call to make an appointment with one of our certified Healthy Lifestyle Instructors.
• During your appointment, take a quick 5 step patented strength test to determine the correct amount of weight you should use for each piece of equipment and answer a few questions from your Healthy Lifestyle Instructor about your fitness experience, goals and preferences.
• Review your workout with your Instructor and get started!
• Enter your workout information after each workout and ActivTrax will use the results to create your next workout! (Workouts can be printed and logged from home, your smart phone or at the ActivTrax Kiosk on the 3rd floor.

Running Group

If you think running is only a solo activity, think again. Running is even better with company! Our running group, Run YMCA, meets for weekly runs through the Burbank community starting from here at the Y. You already know all the health benefits running brings, including improved cardiovascular health and stamina, stress relief, and chronic disease prevention, but running in a group adds even more:

• Motivation – Group runs offer an encouraging and supportive team environment that pushes everyone to achieve more.
• Community – Run YMCA offers the chance to make new friends with similar interests. Engaging in fun and stimulating conversation makes 3 miles feel like 1!
• Technique Sharing – Everyone has something to learn and something to share. Running groups are a great place to share skills and experiences!

Run YMCA is open to all levels but is geared towards beginners, whether you want to train for marathons or just learn more about the sport. The ability to run or jog 1 mile is recommended. Group meets at the Y Café. See the Group Exercise schedule for current times!
