Group Fitness Classes: THRIVE

THRIVE Classes at the YMCA

YMCA THRIVE classes are designed to help participants prevent muscle loss and bone density, maintaining and improving postural control, mobility and functional fitness. Classes may be movement-based, like Tai Chi or Yoga, or may use a chair or other assistance for strength and conditioning workouts. No matter your age, it's important to build and maintain strength, balance and mobility.

THRIVE Group Fitness

THRIVE fitness classes are designed for those who are new to fitness, getting back into fitness after injury or building their fitness confidence in a group setting. Classes help prevent muscle and bone density loss, maintain and improve posture control and mobility and promote functional fitness. Functional fitness is the ability to move in the ways we move in everyday life.
