Bucyrus, Ohio (March 26, 2010) – The Bucyrus Area YMCA, located at 1655 E. Southern Avenue, is recognizing the unique needs of the older adults in the community by partnering with the nationally recognized Healthways SilverSneakers® Fitness Program.

The Bucyrus Area YMCA is now able to offer older adults a way to increase their levels of physical activity while motivating them to remain active. SilverSneakers is the nation’s leading exercise program designed exclusively for older adults and may be available at no additional cost (beyond any monthly premium) to eligible Medicare health plan and group retiree members.  

“Research points to the significant health benefits of regular exercise for older adults,” says SilverSneakers Account Manager Aaron Bailes.  “In addition to helping our members stay physically healthy, SilverSneakers also offers a great way for them to socialize, meet new friends and have fun.”
