Through facilities and equipment in the field of health enhancement, personal fitness evaluations, and group exercises, the YMCA promotes healthy life styles for all. The active older adults program stresses a three-way approach to work with seniors, involving health and fitness, social activities, and opportunities for volunteerism.
