MOUNTAIN LAKES — Lakeland Hills YMCA has officially opened the doors to its newly upgraded and reimagined Health and Fitness Center, marking a bold new era in member wellness and community connection.
This renovation represents more than new equipment; it reflects the Y’s commitment to building stronger communities through wellness, connection, and support. The upgraded facility not only enhances fitness access but also reinforces what the YMCA has always uniquely offered: a place where people feel a sense of belonging. Whether it’s a morning workout, a shared laugh in a small group session, or cheering someone on in a cycle class, the Y remains a gathering place where relationships are built, and lives are strengthened together.
“The transformation of our Health and Fitness Center is about more than aesthetics or technology; it’s about investing in people,” said Alex Martinez, CEO of the YMCA. “We’ve built an environment where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered to live their healthiest life. This renovation expands access and deepens our mission to strengthen the entire community.”
Highlights of the Renovation:
- EGYM Smart-Strength Circuit: Members now enjoy a guided, full-body workout in less than 30 minutes. Each tech-enabled machine automatically adjusts to the individual using a personalized wristband, creating a safe, efficient, and accessible experience for all fitness levels.
- Expanded & Upgraded Turf-Training Zone: Redesigned to inspire movement and strength, this dynamic space includes ropes, agility equipment, and room for functional training. Perfect for small groups or individuals looking to challenge themselves in a modern performance environment.
- High-Energy Cycle Studio: Featuring immersive lighting, a raised stage, and heart-pumping sound, this studio turns cycling into a fully engaging fitness experience. Classes are designed to motivate and connect participants through movement and music.
- FitWorks Studio: This new small group and personal training space invites members to take their fitness to the next level with expert coaching in a focused, high-impact setting, ideal for goal-oriented training.
- Enhanced Cardio, Strength & Power Zones: The Center’s main areas have been reimagined to offer more space, updated equipment, and a welcoming layout where members can train hard and work smart in pursuit of their personal goals.
Beyond the machines and studio lights, the YMCA remains committed to what matters most – people. This upgraded space invites members to not only achieve their personal wellness goals but to experience the connection, encouragement, and support that only the Y can offer.
