Adult Health & Fitness
YMCAs are collectively the largest provider and promoter of health and fitness
programs, active in more than 10,000 communities across the country. Locally,
the Hagerstown YMCA has been a leader in this field. This can be attributed
to the YMCA’s continued commitment to offering high quality, cutting-edge
programs and instruction. In an effort to better serve our members, the YMCA
offers a year-round aerobics program. We want you to come and have fun in a
safe and healthy environment at your convenience. Start your own program, participate
at your own pace, and continue throughout the year. We recommend three to four
aerobic activities per week. Child watch is available for most class times.
Please see Our Facility section for more information. Classes/instructors are
subject to change. (Click here for Fitness Schedule.)
