If you’ve been around the Baxter Close Y, chances are you’ve seen Arnold and Melanie bringing their energy, encouragement and passion for fitness to our community! Both Arnold and Melanie are personal trainers and group fitness instructors at the Y, and they love helping people of all ages feel stronger, more confident and capable. But one of their favorite things to coach? Youth Fast Feet!
They love working with young athletes and watching them grow—not just as runners, but as individuals. From learning proper running form to building stamina, endurance and confidence, Arnold and Melanie bring plenty of encouragement (and a little fun!) to every workout. Their favorite part? Seeing kids start to realize just how much they can accomplish when they keep showing up and pushing themselves.
And now, they’re ready for another great 8-week session of Youth Fast Feet!
📅 Starts September 8
⏰ Tuesdays & Thursdays | 5–6 PM
🏃 Ages 8–14
🎉 Finishing with a 5K!
