F.E.S. Bike (Functional Electrical Stimulation)
*Individuals 16 years & older 

The Y strives to reach out to everyone regardless of physical ability. The F.E.S. bike stands for Functional Electrical Stimulation and this exercise mode addresses a need of people with neurological conditions. The bikes provide an exercise option for people with M.S., Parkinson’s, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Brain Injury, Stroke and Benign Tremors. The Sheridan County YMCA is the only facility in our 5-state area that has F.E.S. bikes for public use. Through controlled pulses of electrical current, peripheral nerves are stimulated which results in muscles contracting and moving the cranks on the bike. Dynamic motor support in the bike is integrated with the electrical stimulation to ensure patterned activity regardless of individual’s muscle strength or ability to move the arms or legs. Ages: 16 and older for people with neurological conditions

INDIVIDUAL COACHING
*Active Older Adults, Youth ages 16 & older, Adults

True health and wellness is about so much more than the food you eat and how you
move your body. Many people already have ideas about the areas in their life they
might like to work on, but health coaches go beyond the “what” and help explore the “why.” Let a coach help you explore and identify barriers so you can work together to formulate a plan on how to work around them with less stress.
