ACCOUNTABILITY
IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY
The Tampa Y continues to serve as community leader in health and wellness by helping 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, where participants get healthier and build new friendships.
Another such program is LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA for cancer survivors. The free 12-week Y program offers
people affected by cancer a safe, supportive environment
to participate in physical and social activities focused on strengthening the whole person.
