The YMCA Abilities in Motion (AIM) Program is a fully accessible program designed to assist individuals in their pursuit of health and fitness. AIM welcomes individuals with mobility concerns who are motivated to pursue exercise and physical activity in a social environment and understand the benefits of regular physical activity on the spirit, mind, and body.
Our goal at AIM is to provide a supportive and fully inclusive environment for individuals with mobility concerns who wish to pursue fitness as a means of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and as part of their rehabilitation efforts.
Our dedicated YMCA Staff and Volunteers work closely with participants, and are committed to providing support in the achievement of their long-term fitness and recovery goals. YMCA Staff and Volunteers are able to provide educational resources, personal fitness plans, and other resources to help you reach your fitness and rehabilitation goals.
