Healthy Living

The YMCA aims to improve our nation's health by providing programs and activities that promote overall well-being, no matter where you are on your journey toward better health. And when people feel their best and have fulfilling lifestyles, their communities become stronger, too.

  • At the Y, we believe health and fitness are vital components of individual well-being. That’s why we design programs to meet the needs of every individual, no matter their age or skill level. We provide fun and welcoming environments focused on building personal strength, endurance and confidence.

  • We believe sports, friendly competition and exploring new interests are for everyone. And when teamwork is involved, there’s the added benefit of connecting with others. That’s why you’ll find a wide range of recreational activities at the Y, so there's always something for everyone.

  • Teaching children how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. That's precisely why our Safety Around Water program teaches essential water safety skills, which opens up a world of possibilities to satisfying youthful curiosity in a safe, structured environment.

  • Our goal is to provide memorable, meaningful experiences for everyone who sets foot in one of our locations. Whether you’re looking to try new activities as a family or make new friends, the Y is a place for all families to come together.

  • Shared interests bring people together. They're key to making—and keeping—our communities strong. Regardless of what you're passionate about, we can connect you with like-minded individuals.

  • We strive to strengthen the bond—and bridge the gap—between traditional healthcare and community-based preventative strategies. Efforts like increasing a community's walkability and linking policy and environmental strategies to health outcomes help prevent chronic disease and create a community we all want to live in.

  • As part of the Y's commitment to strengthen community by addressing critical gaps in health and education, Healthy Kids Day encourages kids and parents to commit to keeping the body and mind active this summer.
