SilverSneakers®
The SilverSneakers® Fitness Program is the nation’s leading exercise program designed exclusively for older adults. Members receive a basic fitness center membership at no cost. The program includes use of basic amenities and access to our signature SilverSneakers® class.
Active Older Adults
Socializing and volunteering have been shown to have positive effects on the health of older adults. Exercise has also been 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, group exercise classes and walking clubs. Make new friends at the Y today!
