Since their founding, YMCAs have provided health and fitness programs as an integral part of their mission. Today, YMCAs are the nation’s largest providers of health and wellness programs. The YMCA branches in the Metropolitan Chattanooga association welcome individuals from every walk of life.

 

Over 1,200 individuals take aquatic classes each year at our local YMCAs, including aquatic safety. We also offer a wide-rage of water exercise classes and arthritis aquatic classes. Sunshine Swim is an aquatic program committed to serving special needs children and youth, and Sunshine Camp, provides them with a specialized day camp experience.

 

In an unprecedented national mobilization effort, YMCAs are working to combat rising levels of obesity and promote healthy living for millions of Americans through YMCA Activate America, an extensive, research-based partnership initiative to overcome the nation’s growing lifestyle health challenge.
