Even before the pandemic driven closer of <br />the Lino Lakes YMCA the Y was losing fitness oriented members to fitness facilities and programs <br />that offered more specialized training, more program options and the latest fitness trends appealing <br />to a wider range of members and participants, often at a lower membership cost. The personal <br />training options and opportunities are also a significant added benefit for the Rec and Community <br />Center and can further help differentiate the Center. Expanded, enhanced, and new programs can <br />include the following: <br /> Higher intensity specialty fitness systems and programs <br /> Increase in senior specific programs <br /> Increased personal training with varying level and package options <br /> Enhanced instructor expertise and quality <br /> Continuing updated programming and equipment and adding new programs <br />o It is very important to not allow Rec Center fitness programs to get stale or not keep <br />up with the latest fitness trends. <br /> <br />To achieve these enhanced fitness program goals it is worth exploring using more outside contract <br />instructors with specialty expertise as well as explore partner program providers that can bring both <br />expertise and training equipment and systems to the Center. (See Management and Partner Section <br />of Report). Outside user groups or programs can also lease the exercise studios or workout spaces <br />for programs not offered by the Rec and Community Center. These can include a wide range of <br />programs such as martial arts, dance, fit boxing, mindful experience, and much more. <br /> <br />Larger classes can also be held in the current gym. Times when the gym is not fully programmed, <br />rented, or utilized for open gym the space can be used for a wider range of programs that may be <br />too big for the dedicated fitness spaces. <br /> <br />Samples of Enhanced and New Fitness Programs at the Center <br />(Not currently offered or no space, trainers, or equipment to support) <br /> <br /> <br />Large Classes in the Gym <br />
