The Y is for Healthy Living

September 26, 2016
NEWS + STORIES

Healthy living at the Y aims to improve the nation's health and well-being by providing programs and activities that promote wellness, reduce the risk for disease and help others reclaim their health.

These programs and everything else the Y does are in service of making us—our Ys and our communities—better. The result is a country that values health and communities that support healthy choices.

We offer a wide variety of Chronic Disease Prevention Programs (like the  YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program), adult and family sports and recreation activities, and specialty group exercise classes.

Because we know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y goes beyond just working out. In addition to fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual, and spiritual strength.
