WAIST AWAY
Personal training is the science of teaching a client how to use their body correctly and efficiently in every action he or she may execute. This includes, but is not limited to, weight training and cardiovascular exercises. Personal training is frequently used for advances in sport specific training, rehabilitation (pre and post surgery), weight loss, and general fitness.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PRESCHOOL & SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE Welcome to the Lynn YMCA licensed Child Care Programs. We are delighted that you are considering choosing one of our programs for your child(ren). We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing experience for your child with plenty of opportunities for growth in spirit, mind and body. A child spends a tremendous amount of time in preschool, afterschool and school vacation programs, during which significant developmental impacts and milestones occur. In all settings attitudes are formed, ideas of self worth are developed, relationships with peers and adults are experienced and young bodies grow strong and competent. Our programs are designed to provide each child with a variety of positive, healthy and engaging activities throughout each day. The staff are trained and experienced in working with children. Many of them are working towards a degree in education or in the human service field. The YMCA provides them with ongoing trainings, meetings and support throughout the year. All our staff comply with the Department of Early Education and Care’s requirements for the position they hold, and are trained in first aid and CPR. -Tania Buck Ruffen, Director of Childcare Services

The old saying “Lynn Lynn the City of Sin, you never come out the way you went in” does not represent the present and future of Lynn. Take the start of the phrase “Lynn, Lynn” and use it to make an original, positive song about the city. The phrase has to be used at least one time anywhere in the song.
