Programs and Services
at the YMCA

Today's seniors are more health conscious than ever
before. At the YMCA we've made the health and fitness of
our seniors a priority by providing programs for the
spirit, mind and body. Through group exercise classes and
aquatic programs that concentrate on mobility and
flexibility, dance programs, educational programs, social
events, and volunteer activities, the YMCA is bringing
Active Older Adults together for camaraderie, fellowship
and fun!
The SilverSneakers® class offers multi-level
equipment based strength and conditioning exercises.
Class is easy on your joints and appropriate for
individuals who exercise regularly as well as those
new to exercise or who may not have exercised in
years. The exercises are designed to improve your
strength, flexibility and the ability to perform
functional activities such as getting out of your car
or lifting your grandchildren! It is never too late to
start exercising. You can do this! Look at the Group
Exercise section for full class descriptions. |
