Introduction

Classes for our Senior Citizens

The YMCA is proud to provide classes especially designed for the older generation. They are not only there to help those members to stay fit and healthy, but they also provide an opportunity to socialise and to make new friends (just like is the case for all who join our classes).

Classes we currently provide which are especially tailored to that age group are:
'Senior Aerobics' and 'Sit and be Fit'.
