Get active and stay healthy with the Y’s programs designed specifically for seniors. Our programs accommodate a wide variety of interests and functional abilities.
Seniors participants at the Valley of the Sun YMCA take comfort in knowing they are in a supportive community which allows them to pursue their health, wellness and fitness goals and their need for social interaction. Our programs provide the opportunity for seniors to meet new friends and learn new skills, as well as offer support and a sense of community.
Fitness
We know that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness. We promote healthier decisions and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.
Outreach
At Ahwatukee Foothills Family YMCA, the Outreach Program for Ahwatukee Seniors (OPAS) is a volunteer program that aims to meet the needs of the growing senior population in Ahwatukee with the goal of enabling seniors to maintain independent living in their own homes.
Senior Events
Whether you’re new to the community or simply want to pursue a new hobby, the Y brings together people who love to learn. Whether you want to cook new dishes, join a bible study, create pottery or speak a new language—you’ll learn right alongside others from your community who share your interests.
Personal Training & Nutrition
We all need the advice of an expert sometimes, as well as the personal attention that comes with a trainer or coach. Y's offer personal training and coaching to help you set and meet your specific goals in order to live healthier. Some of our branches now offer Nutrition support as well!
