The Scott County Family Y group fitness programs are designed for everyone! We want to be the perfect place for the "Health Seeker" who isn't always in an exercise routine and wants a safe, caring environment to help them develop a routine and achieve their fitness goals. We also strive to develop classes and programs that will push even the most experienced, "committed" exercisers. For example, our Yoga classes have been designed with different levels to introduce the beginner, to push the intermediate, and to challenge the experienced. Almost all of our group fitness classes are FREE to members. Many of these classes are also on a drop-in basis. So feel free to stop by your branch and give one a try. Our instructors are trained to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated for their individuality, while still pushing the class as a whole to reach their potential.
