Mountain Lakes, NJ – Lakeland Hills Family YMCA proudly announces the grand opening of its reimagined Health and Fitness Center on Monday, December 22 at 5:00 AM. The newly renovated facility offers members a fully redesigned space focused on connection, performance, and progress.
“This is more than a renovation, this is a reinvention of how we come together, move, and thrive,” said Alex Martinez, CEO of Lakeland Hills Family YMCA. “Every detail was designed to ensure our members have access to innovative tools and supportive environments that empower their wellness journeys.”
The new Health and Fitness Center includes six distinct zones for functional training, recovery, and personalized workouts: an immersive cycling studio, a dynamic turf training area, an intelligent EGYM circuit, a dedicated FitWorks training room, a next-generation cardio center, and a specialized Restore and Recovery zone. These spaces are designed to accommodate all fitness levels and foster a sense of community, growth, and achievement.
Highlights include:
- FitWorks Training Room: Personal, group, and squad training designed to foster accountability, motivation, and shared success.
- Cycling Studio: A sensory-rich environment where lighting, sound, and energy fuel every ride. Cycling classes are included in your Y membership.
- EGYM Circuit: Smart equipment that adjusts automatically to each user’s profile. Just tap in, and settings like weight, tempo, and range of motion are designed to deliver a complete, guided 30-minute workout. All Lakeland Hills Y members receive their tech-enabled wristband at no additional cost through December 31, 2025. Individuals who join after that date will incur an EGYM fee for their wristband. EGYM is included in your Y membership, just as all group-fitness classes are included as well.
- Turf Functional Training Area: A space for movement-based training where strength meets purpose in a high-energy environment.
- Cardio Center: Redesigned with the latest equipment and an open layout to support both intensity and comfort.
- Restore and Recovery Area: A calm, welcoming space to stretch, work on mobility, and take a moment to exhale after a great workout.
This transformation reflects the YMCA’s continued commitment to inclusivity, community health, and helping individuals reach their full potential. The updated center invites members of all backgrounds and abilities to discover what it means to move, connect, and thrive.
