Fitness Programs Target Specialized Training
At Charlotte’s YWCA, we provide fit and fun programming for members and non-members in our community. Bookmark this page to easily check out our new programs or sign up for the Fitness Newsletter to keep up with all the YWCA Fitness News.
Current Special Programs:
Self-Defense Classes
Health Talk: Myths of Aging
Where: YWCA Central Carolinas Board Room
Rates: Free! (Open to everyone)
Health Seminar: Pelvic Health 101
It’s time to get more acquainted with your pelvic floor! The muscles in this region do so much for us! When strong and coordinating well with the rest of your core muscles, they give us stability when we exercise, help us with bowel and bladder control, give our organs support, and help intimacy be more fun!
Join us for an educational health seminar with Ana Karim, a pelvic physical therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, and Starr Gargiullo, YWCA’s Director of Fitness with 22 years of wellness and clinical exercise experience, to learn more about the pelvic floor and to gain tools for improving pelvic floor muscle function. This seminar will have a great mix of information and practical application!
