At YMCA Saskatoon we are your dedicated partner helping you achieve your health and wellness goals. Our staff are here to help guide your way!
Orientations Offered
Our Orientations are FREE for all new members and are a great way to get to know our facility. With over 13,000 square feet of training space, there are many ways to meet your health and wellness goals.
Using resistance training equipment can be intimidating for those without experience in a weight room. It doesn’t have to be that way! At YMCA Saskatoon we support you to reach your health and wellness goals by offering free weight room orientations for our members.
We have over 30 Nautilus weight resistance machines covering every muscle group in the body. And well over 30 cardio machines include 11 treadmills.
For those interested in free weights the weight room have all the options whether it be bench, squat, deadlift and dumbbell combinations for all interests and abilities.
We cover your functional fitness interests and needs with the Synrgy 360 system and an indoor open concept training area ideal.
We want to set you up for success at the YMCA and receiving a new member orientation is a great way to start your health and wellness journey. With more than 13,000 square feet of training space, understanding where everything is including locker facilities gets you off to the right start. Our friendly staff will help get you acclimatized to the facility and ensure all your questions are answered. A new member orientation combines great with a weight room orientation.
Helping our youth and teens find fun in movement is very important to us at YMCA Saskatoon. Whether it means joining one of our family swim times, swim lessons, shooting hoops in the gymnasium or even more traditional weight resistance training, we want our young members to have a positive and movement-appropriate experience setting the foundation for a lifetime of fitness. Starting with a facility orientation is a great way to get started.
At YMCA Saskatoon access to the weight training and cardio machine spaces and rooms begins at age 10. For 10 to 12-year-olds, we require all participants to be accompanied by an adult over the age of 18. If you are in the age range of 13 to 15, we encourage the buddy system while with someone of the same age range. And for those 16 or over access to the cardi and weight room spaces is allowed unsupervised.
Personal Training
Connecting with one of our certified personal trainers is a great way to ensure your health and wellness goals are met. Whether you are new to training or have a new specific goal to achieve, our experienced trainers will help you make it happen.
