WE
MOTIVATE ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Tampa Y is a place where you can work toward a balanced spirit, mind and body by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with friends, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered activities.
HEALTHY LIVING
As a community leader in health and wellness, the Tampa Y helps families understand the importance of physical activity and a balanced diet through
a variety of educational programs. These include the Y Diabetes Prevention Program, Pedaling
for Parkinson’s, personal training and Enhance® Fitness - a CDC designated Falls Prevention Program that improves quality of life for those with arthritis through low-impact exercise. These programs provide fitness and social opportunities that help participants get healthier and build
new friendships... while making our Ys and our community better. The result is a community that values health and supports healthy lifestyle choices.
OUR MISSION
IN ACTION
Ellsworth Buell has been a member at the Spurlino Family YMCA since 2019. Formerly
a dedicated triathlete, Ellsworth suffered a stroke and started personal training at the Spurlino Y in April
2021. Ellsworth had difficulty
walking independently, but was determined to rebuild muscle and strength his legs. Through his dedication and support from his family and Y friends, Ellsworth achieved his goal of being able to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.
