Healthy Living - At the Y, we believe that being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It is about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a leading voice on health and well-being issues, a leader in fighting chronic disease, and committed to empowering people to lead fuller lives. We bring families closer together, promote healthy living, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. As a result, millions of youth, adults and families receive the support, guidance and resources they need to become and stay healthy. Membership and Fitness - The YMCA served over 58,000 members from in and around the North Shore region of Massachusetts.
