YMCA- Older Adults

https://ymcaatlanta.org/wellness/active-older-adults

• Both land and water-based group exercise classes are a great way to stay active. We offer land-based classes that can be done standing or from a chair, so something for every level. Our Active Older Adult groups are some of the most active groups at the Y and many branches have active older adult luncheons, field trips and other social activities!
• Social activities and exercise are both important components for active older adults because they help with loneliness and prevent feelings of isolation. Organized social classes and groups also provide a sense of purpose and give older adults something to look forward to regularly.
• Check with your local Y to find out more about activities for seniors and active older adults.
