Active Older Adults

The Maplewood YMCA is dedicated to offering meaningful opportunities, programs and special events for the older adult population in our community. We currently offer the following programs designed to meet the needs of our active older adults:

Arthritis Aquatics:

Exercises designed by the Arthritis Foundation and the YMCA are performed in the shallow water to increase flexibility while decreasing pain and stressful and a good way to improve the quality of your everyday life. Participants may use a door directly into the pool area to avoid the use of stairs.

SilverSneakers:

Have fun and move to the music through a variety of exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of movement and activity for daily livings skills. Hand-held weights, elastic tubing with handles and a ball are offered for resistance, and a chair is used for seated and/or standing support.

Water Fitness for Health:

This class will help with balance, coordination and activities of daily living. These new exercises are designed to be fun and functional starting with a warm up, aerobic section and finishing with a cool-down period.
