Active Older Adults

Your health and physical wellbeing are important, no matter your age. The YMCA offers seniors the opportunity to maintain a healthy lifestyle, healthy relationships, and a positive outlook on life. Older adults who stay active live longer and have better functional conditioning. That is why the YMCA offers classes, programs, and other opportunities suited for this age group.

Our Active Older Adult (AOA) programs are designed for anyone 50 years old and older. Each Northwest North Carolina YMCA branch offers different programming, so check the location nearest you for current information. Programs are open to members and potential members.
