💪 Strong instructors create stronger classes!
Our Group Exercise team recently spent time sharpening their skills through a Les Mills BODYPUMP™ Master Class and professional development sessions focused on Mind-Muscle Connection and Coaching Vertical Drive.

Why does this matter? Because every opportunity to learn helps our instructors bring more energy, knowledge, and effectiveness into the classes that you love! These trainings provide valuable tools to help members move better, connect with their workouts, and achieve their fitness goals.

We're proud of our instructors for their commitment to growth and for continually investing in the member experience! 👏

Swim Instructor Spot Light!!! Meet Coach VIP!!!
"Hello! My name is Coach Vip, or Mr. V.I.P. is what kids call me, and I am the Swim Lesson Supervisor for Saturday morning lessons at the Chester Family YMCA. I have been an instructor for the past 4.5 years and absolutely love teaching people of all ages how to swim. My favorite classes to teach are the intermediate and adult classes because they push themselves to learn more each time. I will also be helping out with our swim team this upcoming fall. Overall, the Y has been such a great place to work at and to build a community with, and I hope to see y'all there!"
