At the YMCA of the Sandhills, we believe staying healthy, connected and active doesn't stop with age--it gets better. Our Active Older Adults (AOA) programs are designed to support your whole self: body, mind and spirit. Aging adults and seniors find a strong sense of belonging and a network of friends that supports sustained health and well-being!
From fitness classes tailored to all ability levels, to water workouts that are easy on the joints, the Y provides opportunities for aging adults to keep moving and strong with confidence. Just as important, the Y offers ways to connect, whether that's enjoying coffee with friends after class, getting together for lunch or learning a new skill. Most programs are free for seniors.
If you are interested in forming a special interest group, connect with one of our Health & Wellness Coordinators:
