Healthy Living Programs
The Y aims to improve the nation's health and well-being by providing programs and activities that promote wellness, reduce risk for disease, and help others reclaim their health.
LIVESTRONG® AT THE YMCA
Cancer is a life-changing disease that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on those affected. LiveSTRONG® at the YMCA is the result of these two organizations joining forces to offer a research-based physical activity and well-being program to adult cancer survivors designed to help them reclaim their total health. Y staff trained in supportive cancer care help participants to achieve their goals such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; and improving confidence and self-esteem. In addition to physical benefits, the program focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where individuals affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond.
EGYM Strength Circuit
Available at the Blue Ash YMCA, EGYM smart strength machines conduct a strength assessment to find your optimal resistance setting, and will continuously do so throughout your training.
With the tap of an RFID-enabled wristband that you’ll receive at your EGYM onboarding appointment, each strength machine automatically sets the weight level and range of motion for you. A video game-like interface on every machine guides you to move at the right pace with the right form. When in circuit mode, machines tell you when it’s time to move to the next machine to ensure a full workout in 30 minutes.
