The Ron Rosner Family YMCA in Spotsylvania County is preparing to offer a huge new set of options to YMCA members later this year with the opening of its nearly 9,000-square-foot expansion wing. Under construction now, this new space will allow the YMCA to offer a variety of new group fitness activities. Paired with the wellness center, childcare, gymnasium, pool and other existing amenities, this new addition will make the Y a place where you can truly meet all of your fitness needs under one roof. Sponsored Material State-of-the-Art Functional Fitness The Ron Rosner Family YMCA is bringing the MX4 functional fitness system to its new expan- sion wing. MX4 is small-group, high-intensity training that is run as a circuit. It's similar to the boot camp experience many people have grown to love, but workouts can usually be accom- plished in less time than a typical boot camp, with targeted moves and instructors teaching proper form. "Shorter workouts are all the rage right now," said Angela Williams, wellness director at the Rosner YMCA. "This workout is going to be maximizing your effort in 45 minutes. If you are someone who wants to really challenge yourself and take your fitness to the next level, then this is for you." Classes will be leveled, making the MX4 training experience accessible to individuals of all fitness levels and ages.
