Active Older Adults Programs

We know that older adults are seeking more than physical benefits when they join the YMCA. They also want a sense of community and 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 mental agility, in addition to longevity and good health. With that in mind, the YMCA offers fitness programs for older adults such as water exercise, yoga and stretching classes, and walking clubs. Make new friends at the Y as you join a book club, bridge club, or lunch club. Contact your local Y for more information on their Active Older Adult program.
