THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Woodlands Family YMCA will be opening its doors for FREE to seniors on September 11th. The Open House and Vendor Fair will give seniors a chance to see what the YMCA has to offer, whether it be exercise classes, social gatherings, volunteer opportunities or field trips.

The Woodlands Family YMCA Open House for Seniors and their Guests, will be from 11 am – 1:30 pm, at the Shadowbend Y location. Free T-shirt to the first 250 guests! Activities will include a vendor fair, health screenings, flu shots, games, refreshments, information on Y senior programs, senior services and Medicare, demos, tours, door prizes, give-aways, a light lunch, and much more. There will be a bingo social, 1:30 – 3 pm.

“The National Institute on Aging finds that staying physically active and exercising regularly can help prevent or delay some diseases and disabilities as people grow older,” said Roxanne Davis, YMCA Community Liaison. “We encourage everyone to stay active, no matter your age. Physical activity improves strength, energy and flexibility. Growing older shouldn’t have to mean losing your strength or ability to do everyday tasks and the other things you enjoy. The Fun Never Retires at The YMCA!”

At the YMCA, not only do we focus on senior health fitness, we make sure our older adult members know they are an important part of our YMCA family. Meet new friends every time you visit the YMCA. The YMCA helps older adults remain active and vital contributors to our communities. The Y has fitness classes specifically designed for older adults. They give participants an opportunity to stay physically active, or in some cases, to overcome their fear of exercise and begin being physically active. Y Active Older Adult fitness programs accommodate a wide variety of interests and functional abilities of older adults as well as social opportunities. Programs include:

• Water Aerobics, Seniorcize Aerobics, SilverSneakers® Classes
• Balance and Fall Prevention, Seniors/Beginning Yoga, Line Dancing and Zumba
• Social gatherings including Lunch and Learns, lunch and dinner outings, field trips,
concerts, plays and much more.

Stop by and learn more if you qualify for a free Y membership through your insurance program offering SilverSneakers® or Silver & Fit®. Representatives will be available to answer all your questions.
