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