Improving The Nations Health and Well-Being
Because the Y knows that healthy lifestyles are achieved through nurturing mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness at the Y is so much more than just working out. Beyond fitness facilities, we provide educational programs to promote healthier decisions, and offer a variety of programs that support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.
Through the Barry County Y, we offer a sense of community, fellowship and support that enriches people’s lives.
Senior Group Exercise
Our aim: To help you feel better. Each class session includes cardiovascular, strength training, balance and flexibility exercises and the fostering of strong social relationships between participants. This is a moderate-impact class with high-impact results. Participants can use chairs for support, if necessary, and increase the weight they use for strength training at their own pace.
