Active Older Adults

Build healthy spirit, mind, and body

No matter what their focus, YMCA health and fitness programs for older adults strengthen the whole person. Socializing and volunteering, for example, have been shown to have positive effects on the health of senior adults, while exercise has proven to promote mental agility, in addition to longevity and good health.

Offers a place to belong, people who care, and fun

The South Sound YMCA Active Older Adult Program is not just about keeping fit and healthy; it is about making friends and having fun. From functional fitness and dance classes to water aerobics, we offer something for everyone. There are also numerous special events and social activities planned throughout the year.

Provides effective solutions to social problems

The YMCA is one place that offers many kinds of connections—whether it’s through water fitness, a social club, or a youth mentoring volunteer program, the YMCA helps senior adults remain active and vital contributors to our communities.

Prior to beginning any fitness program, the YMCA strongly recommends consulting a physician.
