| Wellness Programs |
| Fitness is important- wellness is essential.
The YMCA is committed to providing members and their families
with programs that develop the spirit, mind, and body.
Wellness includes having a fit body, but integrates the
necessity of having a “fit” spirit and mind
as well. Starting in 2007 the Newport County YMCA has
been promoting Wellness Wednesdays, which are celebrated
the 3rd Wednesday of every month. These sessions are offered
at various times throughout the day to include all of
our members. We collaborate with professional organizations
and individuals in the community to support local resources
while at the same time providing our membership with learning
opportunities for personal growth in the areas of meditation,
yoga, nutrition, weight management, guided imagery, and
stress management. Look under “Events” for
an up-to-date schedule of Wellness Workshops. |
| Offsite Fitness and Specialty Programs |
- Offsite Classes
The YMCA provides quality instructors and programs
for Aquidneck Island residents of all ages who may
not be able to or find it convenient to drive to our
YMCA facility. Our current Offsite locations are the
Middletown Senior Center in Middletown and Common
Fence Point Community Center in Portsmouth. Classes
are offered twice a week at each of these locations.
- Specialty Fitness Classes
In addition to the offsite programs, we offer specialty
fitness classes including a Moms in Motion class for
both moms and moms-to-be and SilverSneakers® Muscular
Strength and Range of Motion classes for seniors and
individuals who prefer a non-impact, easy to follow
cardiovascular and strength workout. Our Specialty
classes are held in the YMCA Group Exercise Studio.
For more information about any of
our Offsite or Specialty classes, contact Heather
Romao, Health & Wellness Director.
