The first baby boomers are reaching their 60s, and adults 55 and older now make up 11% of our YMCAs total membership. In fact, adults 65 and older are the fastest-growing category of YMCA membership. The YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga offers fitness and exercise programs specifically geared toward older adults, such as Active Older Adult (AOA) classes, land and water-based arthritis classes and Silver Sneakers.

 

Visit, call or click on a specific YMCA branch for more information on programs for active older adults.
