See the Welcome Center for a complete listing of exercise classes offered

specifically for Active Older Adults.

ACTIVE OLDER ADULT ACTIVITIES We know that older adults are seeking more than physical fitness benefits when they begin exercising. They also want a sense of community and they have a desire to strengthen social ties. In response to this need, the YMCA has developed several activities to encourage and motivate older adults to take action and get involved. YMCA programs for older adults strengthen the whole person. Socializing and volunteering have been shown to have positive effects on the health of older adults, and exercise has proven to promote physical and mental agility, in addition to longevity and good health. Make new friends at the YMCA as you join a book club, bridge club, attend a luncheon or go on a monthly trip.

See the Welcome Center for a complete listing of activities offered specifically for

Active Older Adults.
