The

people who have Humana Insurance (in the State of
South Carolina) or any health care provider (out of state) that covers the

The SilverSneakers®
1 Class – Muscular Strength & Range of Movement – is an exercise class taught by
a certified teacher. The class concentrates on having fun and moving to music
through a variety of exercises designed to increase muscular strength, range of
movement, and activity for daily living skills. Hand-held weights, elastic
tubing with handles, and a ball are offered for resistance, and a chair is used
for seated and/or standing support. This class is held every Tuesday and
Thursday at 10:00 and lasts about 45-60 minutes. This class is also available
at no additional cost.
HOME RUN FOR HEALTH
During the months of May and June, every time a SilverSneakers member visits the YMCA they are working towards a prize. Members can pick up a card at the front desk and every time they come in someone must initial it. There are different levels of prizes depending on how many times a member comes in.
