Youth & Teen

Our Y Teen Fitness program is a great way to introduce youth and teens to proper exercise techniques, using our strength training and cardiovascular equipment.

Born to Move

Designed to nurture a life-long love of physical activity, BORN TO MOVE helps children experience the joy and vitality of moving to music.

Each session feeds young people’s natural appetite for action, movement and play – and lets them enjoy the energy, confidence, good health and increased ability that goes with it.

The Blue Ash YMCA offers Born to Move for ages 4-5 and 6-7.
