The YMCA Active Older Adults programs are designed to enrich the lives of people who are in their middle and older years by helping them develop skills to meet life's challenges. Older adults can stay active and healthy by participating in both physical and social activities. At the YMCA, older adults have a place to go to improve their fitness levels, explore new interests and make new friends!
The YMCA of the Palms participates in the SilverSneakers™ Fitness Program. The SilverSneakers™ Fitness Program is the nation's leading exercise program exclusively designed for older adults. SilverSneakers™ classes are low impact and are appropriate for individuals who may not have exercised in years or for those who exercise on a regular basis. The goal of the class is to encourage illness prevention, minimize aging-related physical deterioration and increase a sense of well-being through social interaction in a group exercise setting.
The SilverSneakers Fitness Program is offered by leading Medicare health plans and Medicare Supplement carriers throughout the country at no additional cost. Find a Participating Health Plan to see if your health plan or Medicare Supplement carrier offers SilverSneakers. Eligible SilverSneakers participants receive a YMCA Membership where they can enjoy specialized low impact SilverSneakers™ fitness classes focusing on improving muscular strength and endurance, mobility, flexibility, range of motion, balance, agility and coordination. Certified SilverSneakers™ fitness instructors will teach classes at both the Bonita Springs and Greater Naples YMCAs. Members can also enjoy other facility benefits, including the free-weights, exercise equipment, group fitness classes and the swimming pool.
There's no question that a little exercise can go a very long way in improving your health. Visit the homepage of the YMCA branch near you for specific information on the Y’s Active Older Adults programs.
