YMCA Boot Camp is a fun, non-traditional way to get in shape and feel great! Challenge yourself and your co-workers! Offered in partnership with the UA Tech Park, YMCA Boot Camp is a free group exercise class for employees who are part of the Tech Cats program 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 many more.  Whatever workout your instructor has planned, each will have a different method, and you will be guaranteed a great workout.
