YMCA Boot Camp is a fun, non-traditional way to get in shape and feel great! Challenge yourself with your co-workers! Utilizing resistance training with strength equipment and body weight – along with cardiovascular training – you can challenge yourself and improve your personal wellness. Offered in partnership with the UA Tech Park, YMCA Boot Camp is a free group exercise class for employees at the UA Tech Park. Some boot camp group exercise classes use no equipment, while others integrate more equipment. Boot Camp focuses on cardio and strengthening exercises such as running, burpees, pushups, and much more. Whatever workout your instructor has planned, each will have a different method, and you will be guaranteed a great workout.
Start now- there is no fitness level required. The instructors of this group exercise class will adjust the difficulty of the class to fit your needs and level. Ultimately, the difficulty of the class will depend on your determination. The instructor will push you to your limit, but will not overwork you.
