Cardio + Strength Equipment

Welcome to the Wellness Floor

No matter what type of workout you’re looking for, we’ve got what you need to keep it varied and fun!
Top-of-the-line cardio + strength equipment and a variety of free weights and functional training areas — it’s easy to find your strength at the Y.

Matrix Cardio Equipment

15 treadmills, 5 stair climbers, 5 ellipticals, 4 recumbent bikes, 4 upright bikes 

It’s easy to start with the basics on our cardio equipment, but these high-tech machines have capabilities that make cardio FUN! 
 
• Exercise virtually in locations around the world. Run in New Zealand perhaps? 
• Connect to Netflix, solitaire, social media, etc. Watch your shows while you walk! 
• Utilize Sprint 8: built-in interval training for maximum results, in minimum time! Read more about Sprint 8.

Need more cardio variety? We also have two rowers, Keiser spin bikes, an octane lateral elliptical, sci fit seated elliptical, and hand cycle. Ask one of our Y floor staff if you’d like some help getting started!

Cybex Strength Machines

11 machines in a group formation for easy circuit rotation

Did you know that muscle mass starts to decrease in your late 20s? Selectorized strength training equipment provides the least intimidating resistance training option for beginners, who are able to customize the fit and weight options easily.

Many of these machines are wheelchair accessible with a seat that swings away. They also include a QR code that takes you to a video on equipment function!

According to a 2023 Washington Post article, an international study showed that doing these 6 resistance exercises just once a week will make you stronger: chest press, pull down, leg press, abdominal flex, back extension, hip adbuction/adduction.

Tips on how to begin safely:
• If you’re new to resistance training, start slow, with low weight.
• When you can easily complete an exercise over 25 times, increase weight.
• Try to reach “volitional failure” with each exercise, so the work feels like about a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. This effort works your muscles enough to prompt them to adapt and strengthen.

Free Weights, Plate-Loaded, and Cable Machines

We have a robust, spacious free weight area, with dumbbell variations from 2.5 – 125 lbs (that go up in 2.5 lb increments until 30 lbs), allowing you to level up slowly and carefully. We also have a variety of kettlebells and other weights in the turf area, and in Studio A.

The wellness floor also includes a variety of unique plate-loaded machines (hip thrust, lateral row, chest press, calf raise, and leg press sled) as well as a large, L shaped cable weight machine.

• pull-up bars
• two landmine rows
• four squat racks
• additional dumbbells ranging from 2.5 – 35 lbs
• two cable towers
• a rope pull

Fitness Studios

Our beautiful facility, opened in January 2020, offers three dedicated studios for Group Fitness classes.

Studio A: Our largest Studio has a suspension floor and two mirrored walls — making it ideal for high impact classes.
Studio B: This Studio has ballet barres along two walls (one mirrored), and is used primarily for low impact classes.
Studio C: Indoor Cycling Studio, equipped with 28 Keiser spin bikes and MyZone capabilities.

Members are free to use the Studios when no Group Fitness classes are in session. Please check the schedule before entering, and be ready to leave before classes start.
