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.

EnhanceFitness
Moderate-impact classes with high-impact results
EnhanceFitness, is a 16 week, evidence-based group exercise program for older adults that uses simple, easy-to-learn movements that motivate individuals (particularly those with arthritis) to stay active throughout their life.
Participants notice changes such as: more energy, better balance, increases in upper body and lower body strength, more flexibility and range of motion, better sleep, more feelings of happiness, and sense of independence.
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. Enhance®Fitness is geared toward older adults. Those with a chronic condition, such as arthritis, need not worry; they will never have to do anything that hurts. Participants can use chairs for support, if necessary, and increase the weight they use for strength training at their own pace.
EnhanceFitness has been recognized by the CDC and other national organizations committed to improving the health of older adults.
