SilverSneakers Program - the YMCA of Rowan County is offering the Healthways SilverSneakers® Fitness Program.  This program enables people 65 and older to take control of their health and well-being. Older adults who are eligible to participate in the award-winning fitness program may qualify for a free Y membership through their health care provider.

The goal of the SilverSneakers Fitness Program is to minimize age-related physical deterioration, enhance general health and skill-related activities, improve daily living functionality, and increase a person’s sense of well-being through exercise.

Individuals wishing to join SilverSneakers must first contact their health insurance provider to confirm that their health plan qualifies them for the free Y membership.  You may also call SilverSneakers to verify eligibility at 1-888-423-4632.  The next steps include bringing in a copy of your insurance card, completing the SilverSneakers enrollment form, and obtaining your Y membership ID card. The ID card must be scanned at the reception desk upon entering the Y at each visit. New members will receive information on everything covered by the membership.

With your SilverSneakers membership, you have full access to the Y Fitness Center, swimming pools, gymnasium, group exercise classes and the many other amenities included in a membership.  People 65 and older who are already members of the Y and qualify to join SilverSneakers should contact the front desk to adjust their membership.
