My mom invited me to join her for a morning at the gym. I was so thrilled I have been wanting to try yoga for so long, and this was the prefect opportunity and would be free. Bonus I got to spend the day with my mom. I took a yoga stretch class. When the class started I was a confused because I thought this would be a traditional yoga class with mats on the floor. However the "yoga stretch" class used chairs and the instructor did mild stretches,deep breathing and guided meditation. Sit and be fit baby, baby, baby!!! The class was filled with women who were 50 plus. Being the old soul that I am I felt comfortable and right at home. I was impressed by the senior community and to YMCA commitment to seniors.
The PNC YMCA has got great views of Market Square while walking on the treadmills. Also they have a large sauna and showers.
I also want to commend the YMCA for offering income sensitive gym memberships. I think that affordable fitness is important especially for our seniors and people who live on fixed incomes.
