Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy.

Our Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration. Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.

All ages - from infants to seniors - can learn to swim at the Y. Check out our class offerings to find one that fits your family’s busy schedule. Have questions? Please refer to the Swim Page of our web site, call the Y or speak with anyone in our Aquatics Department or on our Member Services Team.

HAYET BENAYED - Y EMPLOYEE FOR 5 YEARS

ACE Certified Personal Trainer, CPR/AED

Fun Facts: Hayet became an American Citizen in May of 2018!

I grew up in Tunisia and moved to the US when I was 23. I fell in love with this country and it’s people right away.

I have been exercising on a regular basis for the past 20 years (except during my 3 pregnancies). I love pushing myself, sweating, and getting my heart rate way up. Cardio was always my favorite thing to do. I ran many 5ks, one 10k and 3 half marathons.

We joined the Lakewood Trumbull YMCA 7 years ago and I started working there a couple of years later when my youngest child started preschool. I worked in the fitness center, in child watch, and in preschool gymnastics. Working in different departments gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of people and to get closer to our members.

For the longest time, I was intimidated by the fitness center. I would just get in the room, run, stretch and leave. When that room became my work place and part of my job was to show our new members how to use the machine, I started using them myself, and I absolutely love it! My favorite kind of workout is a circuit training because I don’t have to wait between sets and I keep my heart rate up.

By being at the gym almost every day I got to meet and become friends with many personal trainers. I was able to watch them train their clients and I thought: “I really want to do this”. I got certified by ACE (American Council of Exercising) in 2018 and since then I also became certified as a Weight Management Specialist. I try to motivate my clients to start a fitness program and stick with it by showing them that exercising can be fun and by setting goals that are achievable. My goal is to help people have better posture and balance, lose weight if they need to, and improve their heart health and their muscular development to increase their strength. The assessments, exercises, and progressions of my clients are based on their unique health, fitness, needs and goals.

OUTDOOR BOOTCAMP - Meets at the Family Camp and Outdoor Center This program will push you in ways you never thought possible. You’ll learn to run, to carry heavy weights, to climb or jump over obstacles in preparation of a spartan or tough mudder race - or just because you want the challenge! Time and Date TBD

SUPPORTING WELLNESS TOGETHER The Weight Loss Program is designed to help people seeking a healthier weight achieve their goals by making small, modest changes to their daily behaviors, and forming sustainable healthy habits. Participants joining the program should be ready to commit to daily food and physical activity tracking as well as developing self-designed weekly action plans that incorporate what is learned during each session. This program helps participants build skills for successful lifestyle changes as opposed to advocating any specific or restrictive short term solution.

The program is designed for adults, 18 years and older who desire a healthier weight. This program is not intended for individuals with specialized needs due to chronic disease or the onset of chronic disease.

This is a 12-week program that meets one time per week via ZOOM beginning September 22. Each weekly session is 45 minutes. Weekly sessions will be held on Tuesdays at 6:15pm.

In addition to the weekly ZOOM meeting, there will be weekly, 30-minute, personal training sessions. Member $125
