Health and Fitness Workshops
The YMCA-YWCA of Northeast Avalon offers a multitude of Health & Fitness workshops in order to help facilitate up-to-date certifications for all our fitness instructor volunteers and staff.
Recertification and keeping up-to-date
In order to maintain their YMCA Canada Group Fitness or Individual Conditioning certification, instructors of the Y are required to participate in workshops, for a minimum total of 16 hours, over a two-year period. Refer to YMCA Canada Fitness Leadership brochure on our webpage under Volunteer or YMCA Courses for full recertification requirements. Instructors with outside certification must also maintain their certification by attending continuing education workshops if volunteering or employed by our Y.
Workshops
Please advise your supervisor at least 48 hours before the workshop if you wish to cancel. Being 15 minutes late may result in non-admittance to the workshop and loss of the workshop.
Registration
Detailed workshop information can be obtained from your YMCA Canada Fitness Trainer Educator or YMCA Fitness Trainer. Registration will begin 4 weeks before the workshop. To confirm your attendance to these workshops, the registration confirmation must be given to your supervisor as soon as possible prior to the workshop via email or in person. If you do not attend the workshop without advising your Trainer Educator/Trainer, you forfeit this free workshop.
Instructors Teaching Outside the Y
For instructors teaching outside The YMCA-YWCA of Northeast Avalon, please contact the St. John’s Y or Mount Pearl Y at which the workshop is being held for more details and to confirm registration. The Y may restrict workshops to Y members, volunteers or staff.
