Several home and outdoor workouts can help you stay in shape if you're consistent. These workouts can include bodyweight routines, yoga, and running. However, joining a gym in Las Vegas offers several additional benefits. Studies show that gym members have a significantly higher likelihood of achieving their fitness goals. At the YMCA, we help our members of all ages pursue a healthy lifestyle.

Working out as a family is an excellent way to bond while staying fit. Unfortunately, working out as a family can be challenging due to responsibilities. Juggling between parental responsibilities, job, school, and commuting can make it difficult for you and your family to make time for fitness. If you are finding it difficult maintaining family fitness in Las Vegas, here are a few tips you can use to help you work out consistently as a family.

Want to start an exercise routine, but you aren't sure how to get started? Or do you have concerns about your form during your training sessions?

When searching for a fitness center, look for a gym with childcare. Research indicates that active parents are more likely to have active children.

YMCA swim lessons are a fantastic activity to encourage stronger swimming skills, introduce young children to the water, and promote better strength, flexibility, and endurance. The CDC reports that water-based exercise, like swimming, is effective at improving mental health, enhancing mood levels, and strengthening family bonds. Check out some of the swim offerings available at the YMCA. 

Nowadays, kids seem to be glued to screens, including tablets, televisions, computers, and smartphones. However, since prolonged screen time is known to cause health issues, it is advisable to get your kids busy by introducing them to various workout routines at a kid’s gym. 

Preschool lays the groundwork for a successful future for your child. It's a prime time to help a child better understand themselves, the world around them and gain the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive skills that will give them a leg up in school and beyond. Preschool serves as the foundation for children's learning. 

Summer heat in Las Vegas can sometimes feel almost unbearable. Staying hydrated and using air conditioners can help cool you down. But wouldn’t it be better to cool yourself down and have fun at the same time? 

Taking a dip in the pool, going to the beach or swimming in the lake are excellent ways to cool off in the summer heat. More importantly, knowing how to swim keeps you safe from accidental drowning and helps you save others. You can also comfortably enjoy other watersports, such as kayaking, surfing and diving, if you know how to swim.

For many parents, raising teenagers can be challenging. They're still your sweet children but are tough to manage. Fortunately, the YMCA provides programs for teens to help your teenager navigate their changing environment and develop into healthy, independent, respectable, and knowledgeable adults. Most importantly, our programs provide answers that may otherwise be unknown to you or hard to explain.
