At YMCA Calgary, we believe that staying active and connected is essential at every stage of life. For older adults, retirement often brings more flexibility—but it can also bring new challenges, like finding meaningful ways to stay engaged and maintain wellness.
That’s where we come in. The Y is more than a fitness centre. It’s a vibrant, welcoming community where older adults can move, connect, and thrive.
Fitness That Fits You
Our programs are designed with your needs in mind. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to maintain your mobility and strength, we offer a wide range of classes that are gentle, effective, and fun.
- Chair yoga and gentle fit classes support flexibility and joint health.
- Deep water fitness classes provide a low-impact, high-benefit workout in a supportive environment.
- Fun group fitness classes such as cardio drumming and Zumba also ensure all participants move and have fun together.
“I have found that my experience since I have returned is exceptional. I feel completely safe. The facility is immaculate and everyone is going out of their way to make sure that the facility is following all safety procedures.” — YMCA Member, Remington YMCA
Our instructors are trained to support older adults and create a safe, inclusive space where you can feel confident and comfortable.
A Place to Connect
YMCA Calgary is also a place to build friendships and community. After classes, many members enjoy a coffee and conversation in our lounge areas. We host social events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities that make it easy to meet new people and stay engaged.
Whether you’re looking to share your experience, learn something new, or simply enjoy good company, the Y is a place where you belong.
Caring for the Whole You
We care about your whole well-being whether it be physical, emotional, and social. Our team is here to support healthy aging through resources, guidance, and a welcoming environment. Whether you're joining a class, attending a wellness talk, or just stopping by for a chat, you’ll find a community that values and supports you.
