We believe in the importance of a positive experience when it comes to movement and exercise. Our Teen Orientation has been designed to help youth ages 12 to 16 get started on their exercise journey in a supportive and safe environment. Teen Orientation is required for any youth 12 to 16 to use the Wellness Center's cardio and circuit strength machines without a supervising adult. They are not required for those who are 16 and older, but they are highly recommended.
