When it comes to good health, staying physically active is one of the single best things we can do for ourselves. On top of relieving stress, it’s also a great way to combat chronic disease, prevent obesity, and boost brainpower! However, you might not be able to pay out of pocket for a gym membership each month. The Y has joined forces with a handful of Medicare and insurance partners so you can have access to a place to exercise and nourish your spirit, mind, and body. If you want to discuss additional amenities, please stop by or contact our staff.
