We’re thrilled to announce that the YMCA of Greater Saint John is offering two brand-new programs for older adults (ages 65+) looking to improve their health and wellness at the Irving Oil Field House: the Get Up and Go and Senior’s Community Track Time programs. These programs are offered in partnership with the City of Saint John and the Saint John Community Foundation respectively. Seniors’ Track Time is a free community program that’s open to the general public — not just Y members.
Program Details
Senior’s Track Time | Keep healthy & active on the Track at the Irving Oil Field House

This is a FREE program that will run every Thursday morning for 1-2 hours per session for 6 weeks. Participants will receive a fall risk assessment during the program, a variety of exercise classes, as well as presentations by special guest speakers.
A team of YMCA Wellness Hosts, older adult volunteers, will act as peer support aiding participants in a number of ways including; accompanying participants from the front door to program location, assistance with facility navigation, and introduce to other participants and program leaders and members.
The program will include a fall risk assessment and classes such as Walk & Walking Proud, Intro to Fitness Centres, Intro to Pickleball, Fun, Laughter, & Creativity, Fall Prevention, and Flexibility.
