HEALTHY LIVING
A HEALTHY BALANCE
OF SPIRIT, MIND & BODY
As a community leader in health and wellness, the Tampa
Y helps families understand the importance of physical activity and a balanced diet. The Y offers a variety of educational programs that help improve Tampa Bay’s health and well-being.
These include the Y Diabetes Prevention Program, Pedaling for Parkinson’s, personal training and LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA for cancer survivors. Fitness and social programs for active older adults and community outreach events also provide opportunities to get healthier and connect with new friends.
One such program is Enhance®Fitness. In addition
to being designated by the CDC
as a Falls Prevention Program, Enhance®Fitness improves quality of life for those with arthritis through low-impact exercise that energizes and empowers seniors to
maintain their independence. It’s provided at no cost to participants thanks to a federal grant secured, in partnership with BayCare Health System.
WATCH how Enhance®Fitness helped Gale accomplish the unimaginable:
