Classes are 10-10:45AM. We have a 5-minute social chat time at the end of each class. 

Please note: Please arrive on time to class due to the need for warm-up and progression of exercises. Participants arriving into Zoom waiting room after 10:10am will not be admitted.

Please go at your own pace and listen to your body when participating in YMCA virtual exercise classes for seniors. Listen to the instructor for modifications to make your workout less intense or more challenging. Seated modifications will be shown. It is important that your space is clear, you have something to hold onto that is sturdy and does not move, and that you honor your body by skipping activities that do not work for you.  

 

We will be emailing the specific links to each class to all registered in the Virtual Fitness Program on Sunday afternoons.

 

We know that we miss all of your smiling faces so have developed a way to see you and for you to work out with us. In an effort to provide adequate sound so you can hear us, most of our workouts will be without music. We will occasionally use music during certain classes.
