The YMCA Fit & Well Seniors Program caters to the needs of more than 100,000 seniors residing in DC, many of whom are widowed, living on a modest income and have limited access to activities. Launched in 2010 in partnership with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, this program helps seniors find energy, movement, and a support network.
We offer over 30 online fitness classes, and over 50 in-person fitness classes (both land and aquatic) in all 8 Wards of DC in addition to health and lifestyle assessments, inter-generational activities, trips, and social clubs – all free of charge.
