Health & Fitness

 

YMCAs have led community-based health and fitness for more than a century. Research continues to support the approach to health that YMCAs have taken since 1891 when Luther Gulick proposed the red YMCA triangle as a symbol of a person’s "essential unity – spirit, mind and body – each being a necessary and eternal part of man." Participation in Y health and fitness programs offer opportunities for friendship and community, a sense of well-being, self-confidence, and improved mental abilities and cognition – not to mention the obvious benefits of healthy hearts, lungs, bones and muscles.  Ys believe exercise and health education are important for people of all ages, incomes and abilities. The government agrees that all people can benefit from good health and wellness programs.

The Stanly County YMCA Adult programs include strength training, walking, personal fitness, exercise for beginners, yoga, and group exercise including aerobics, studio cycling, and much more.
