Active Older Adults

A place for everyone to thrive!

The YMCA is a charitable organization, and we make sure we keep everyone active and engaged, regardless of age or ability to pay. The Y has activities and fitness classes specifically designed for older adults. We give participants an opportunity to stay physically and socially active.

LIVE Virtual Classes

For the times that you can't join us in person, you can still work up a sweat with your favorite instructors. Participate in Zoom meetings for virtual fitness classes. You should understand that when participating in any exercise or exercise program, there is the possibility of physical injury. If you engage in this exercise or exercise program, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, assume all risk of injury to yourself, and agree to release and discharge the YMCA of Pueblo from any and all claims or causes of action, known or unknown.

Morning Move: Twenty minutes of a cardio burst that can be done standing or seated followed by 10 minutes of stretching.

Chair Yoga: Static and dynamic movements are presented with a chair for seated and standing support to improve breathing, flexibility, balance, muscular strength and joint range of movement with a final relaxation segment.
