Active Adults

ACTIVE ADULTS

A supportive community is a big part of a healthy mind and body.

At the Y, we offer a variety of exercise classes for seniors, allowing groups to socialize and stay active. Exercising in groups can help you make some new friends and have fun while leading to a more fit and healthy lifestyle for years to come.

From low-impact exercise and chair classes, indoor cycling, water aerobics, and yoga, you’ll find a group exercise class for seniors and active adults that’s fun, supportive and keeps you moving.

What are Active Adults?

These are programs that improves overall well-being, strength and social aspects. Designed for all levels and abilities, these programs are generally provided by your health plan at no additional cost. With these types of membership, members have access to fitness equipment, group exercise classes, social networking, online education, and a sense of community.
