West Morris Area Ymca

HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM ACTIVITIES - Our Y is committed to improving the health of all members of our community through fitness, sports, fun, social activities and shared interests. We are welcoming to all, supportive and provide a safe environment where no one is judged, and everyone is celebrated for their unique abilities. Through our partnership with Atlantic Health Systems and Atlantic Rehab satellite physical therapy located in onsite, we bridge the gap for those patients who are not yet fully functional once their allotted physical therapy sessions are completed. We offer ongoing rehabilitative sessions in our Warm Water Pool with ATRI certified aquatic rehab specialists. This program has received multiple international awards for our outstanding program in the area of aquatic fitness and rehab. Our ADA Accessible/Family Changing Locker room which allows for easy access to our Warm Water Pool, was made possible and funded through generous donations to our Building What Matters Campaign. We help hundreds of clients suffering from chronic conditions, and those who are recovering from injury, surgery or illness. Our Rock Steady Boxing program for people with Parkinson's, offers hope for many who are suffering with a progressive, debilitating disease. In addition to land classes, this program also offers a one-of-a-kind aquatic component featuring underwater boxing bags, bikes, trampolines and balance beams. We believe the Y is the antidote to the ongoing repercussions many in our community are experiencing and will continue to experience for many years as a result of the pandemic. The Y provides an opportunity to deliver programming, compassion and friendship to support all aspects of wellness- inclusive of mind, body and spirit.

Social Responsibility - Our Y has been listening to and responding to the critical needs of our community for over 100 years. Through our annual campaign no one is turned away for inability to pay. We are committed to delivering the training, resources and support that empower the members of our community to effect change, bridge gaps and overcome obstacles. Strong healthy neighbors create strong healthy communities, and the Y will continue to pave the way to wellness for future generations.
