YMCA Seniors have Options!

Stay strong, stay social, and keep moving with programs designed to support healthy aging at the Greater Waterbury YMCA. From low-impact fitness and strength classes to balance, flexibility, and mind/body programming, our Active Older Adults offerings help members feel their best while getting out into the world. 

While these classes are designed with older adults in mind, everyone aged 13 and older is welcome to participate unless otherwise noted. Click here to view the complete Group Fitness schedule.

SILVERSNEAKERS® Fitness Program

The Y is proud to partner with several insurance-based fitness programs, including SilverSneakers®, (do not link to the video, please, though I think a new one would be great!) Renew Active™, and Silver&Fit®. Eligibility and coverage vary by provider and plan, so we encourage members to contact their insurance company directly to learn which programs they qualify for. Our Welcome Center staff is also happy to help check eligibility and answer questions. 

Eligible members may receive: 

  • A complimentary YMCA membership through their insurance provider
  • Access to group fitness classes, cardio and strength equipment, sauna, and other YMCA amenities
  • Nationwide access to participating fitness centers while traveling
  • Supportive wellness opportunities focused on healthy, active living  

Financial Assistance Through Open Doors 

At the Y, we believe everyone deserves access to programs that support their health and well-being. Through our Open Doors financial assistance program, individuals and families experiencing financial hardship may qualify for reduced membership and program fees. 

If cost is a concern, we encourage you to speak with a member of our team or visit the Welcome Center to learn more about available assistance options.
