The YMCA loves runners

 

Whether you're a beginning runner or you just qualified for Boston, the YMCA has programs to help you get the most out of your passion for running:

Running Clubs
Several YMCAs have running clubs you can join to meet other runners and train for upcoming races. Some centers also offer training groups for everything from 5-Ks to full marathons. Check with your nearest center for their specific offerings.

Wellness Consultations
Interested in developing a workout that can improve your running? The YMCA offers free wellness consultations to all members. You'll meet for an hour with a wellness specialist who can talk to you about your goals and show you new exercises to try. All centers also offer fee-based personal training services for anyone looking for more specialized assistance.

To schedule your free wellness consultation or set up a fee-based personal training session, visit your nearest YMCA's Welcome Center or e-mail us.

Free Injury Assessments

The YMCA is proud to partner with Baptist Sports Medicine to offer sports injury assessments as a free service to members at some Nashville-area centers. A Baptist Sports Medicine specialist will examine your injury and give you advice about how to treat it.
