Youth Fitness Sessions at YMCA Plymouth
YMCA Plymouth offers two youth fitness sessions. Our Gym-based Y-Zone sessions and our studio based fitness class ‘Born to Move’ see below for further details and booking!
Y-ZoneBorn to MoveY-Zone is helping young people learn how to keep active and look after their health and wellbeing through physical activity
Y-Zone is a gym and studio-based activity programme focused on youth health and wellbeing. These Sessions help young people to develop a positive and long-term relationship with activity – giving them skills and knowledge that will stay with them for life while making a real difference to their health & wellbeing today. With a body-positive outlook, sessions are structured according to the young person’s age, size, confidence, and fitness levels, so they feel comfortable and can engage at their own pace.
With the support and guidance of our friendly fitness trainers, young people are encouraged to build a healthy relationship with their own physical health, their bodies, and the gym environment – combating misconceptions, stereotypes, and myths that can negatively impact their mental health.

Born to Move
BORN TO MOVE™ helps children discover the joy and energy of moving to music, inspiring a lifelong love for being active!
What does it involve?
Led by our enthusiastic instructor, Benji these music & dance-based sessions are all about action, movement, creativity and play – enabling children enjoy the energy, confidence, good health that goes with it.
Who is it for?
Competitive sports can sometimes feel intimidating for some children and group fitness is a great way to exercise for those who are looking for a more creative and fun way to exercise. The moves are not complex and children don’t need any dance ability or experience to partake.
With the support of our friendly fitness instructor and engaging activities, every child is encouraged to feel confident, capable, and part of the group.
