Activ Trax Program

What will ActivTrax do for you?

ActivTrax will guide you by accurately recommending the appropriate weight for you to lift on the equipment in the Wellness Center. Using the results of a simple test and individual goals, ActivTrax creates a customized exercise and meal plan for you.

With each visit to the Y, enter your username and password at the FitQuest kiosk. The kiosk will then print a detailed exercise plan for you for this particular visit. Follow the workout plan, record the number of repetitions you perform, and enter the results back at the kiosk. ActivTrax then analyzes your performance and makes any necessary adjustments for your next workout. With every visit comes a new and unique workout plan; participating in a variety of cardiovascular activities and working different muscles will be key to your success!

You will also able to also receive nutritional guidance through the ActivTrax meal planner from home, work or any web-accessible computer. Your meal plan is customized to your dietary preferences.

Best of all, you aren't tied to just one location; you have access to your personalized workouts, meal plans, and feedback from any web-accessible computer!
