ACTIVITIES

BIBLE STUDY
In 1844, 22-year-old George Williams founded the first Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA), a refuge of Bible study and prayer for young men seeking escape from the hazards of life on the streets of London.

The Staunton-Augusta Family YMCA carries on the tradition of non-denominational Bible study. Bring your Bible and a friend. This hour-long study is led by YMCA Chaplain Carol Byrd.

WHY NOT SING? SINGERS — Do you enjoy singing, ad-libbing, and having a good time? Come join us on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 – 2:00 pm in the Multi-Purpose Room. We will be choosing music, practicing and then taking our program out to local nursing homes, senior centers and retirement communities. If you have questions, please contact Carol Byrd.

MAHJONGG AT THE Y — This game, played with colorful tiles including flowers, dragons, bamboo, and birds, has its roots in 19th century China. It was the basis for the movie and book The Joy Luck Club. It has a strong component of luck…but also skill.

SENIOR FITNESS

EQUIPMENT ORIENTATION — One of our fitness attendants will develop and guide you through a general fitness routine on all of the weight machines. Follow-up orientations may be scheduled after your first appointment. The follow-up orientation will review workouts and make adjustments to exercise routines as needed. We recommend two appointments for beginners. Appointments can be made at the Front Desk (ages 15+).

Free to members.

CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINING — One-on-one fitness training with certified personal trainers. The YMCA’s Personal Training Program begins with an extensive consultation and health screening to identify any risks and set appropriate goals. Once your fitness level is determined, your trainer will develop a fitness plan customized to your particular abilities, goals and health status (ages 12+).
