YMCAs offering free fitness course for seniors

Select YMCA locations throughout Tarrant County are offering free fitness classes to older adults – no membership required.

EnhanceFitness classes are for all fitness levels. You move at your own pace, and a regular fitness assessment will show you how you’re progressing.

Classes meet three times per week and focus on flexibility, balance, strength, and movement.

If you have a chronic condition, such as arthritis, you may be able to gain more strength and independence from taking the classes. Plus, you will feel energized – physically, mentally, and socially – and be surrounded by people who care about your success.

Research has shown that, among older adults who participate in EnhanceFitness,

health costs were lowered by close to $1,000, and 9 out of 10 people stay with the program. In addition, 99 percent say they’d recommend the program to a friend. Classes are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at these branches: • Amon G. Carter, Jr. Down’LL MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE town YMCA from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. in the Wellness Studio.
