This small group class is about moving, building strength, and developing a sustainable relationship with your body. Students will travel to the YMCA and work with staff member Nehemiah to create personalized plans based on their individual goals—whether that’s getting stronger, building endurance, improving energy, or simply feeling better in their body. If you have never been to the gym, join this class. ALL welcome.
There is also space in this class to play—through sports, games, and trying new ways of moving. The focus is not on performance or comparison, but on participation, consistency, and growth over time.
Grounded in Self-Care and Wellness Strategies, Collaboration, and Perseverance, students will:
Build awareness of how movement, habits, and lifestyle choices impact physical and mental well-being.
Develop routines that support their health, energy, and daily functioning.
Work alongside peers in a supportive environment, encouraging one another and participating with respect.
Set goals, track progress, and persist through challenges, adjusting their approach as needed.
Students will work toward attainments such as identifying and practicing effective self-care strategies, reflecting on habits and patterns, collaborating respectfully in shared spaces, and demonstrating persistence in working toward personal goals.
This class is about showing up, trying, and building a life where taking care of your body is normal.
