For Seniors
ForeverWell: According to a national poll on healthy aging, "in 2023, one in three adults age 50–80 (34%) reported feeling isolated from others." We're working to combat social isolation in older adults by offering group exercise classes, social activities, lunches, and educational speakers for Alexandria area older adults.
Pickleball: Whether you play on one of the Marshall area's amazing outdoor courts or you join the welcoming pickleball community at the YMCA, pickleball is the most fun you can have while staying active.
