West Cook YMCA

SENIOR PROGRAMMING

Today, older adults are more health conscious than ever before. We offers seniors the opportunity to maintain a healthy lifestyle and healthy relationships, through exercise programs, both in and out of the water, social and learning events and volunteer opportunities. Our active adult exercise classes promote fitness and well-being while fostering friendships and camaraderie. Our volunteer opportunities and social events help build lasting relationships and community ties, and our cultural and educational events help to keep our seniors up-to-date and informed in an ever-changing world.

FREE SENIOR FRIDAY

Every Friday at the Y is Free Senior Friday! Any senior age 62+ can access the West Cook YMCA facility and any Complimentary (free) classes. Seniors must pay a drop-in fee for Specialty (pay) classes.
