From Ellipticals to Turkey Trots -
The YMCA of Lincoln Keeps the Community Moving
For over 150 years, the YMCA of Lincoln has been a cornerstone of the community – a place where people from all walks of life come together. Whether it’s on the elliptical at one of our four membership facilities, on the zip line at YMCA Camp Kitaki, or on the ballfield at YMCA Wright Park, the YMCA is proud to champion programs that inspire wellness, foster connection, and encourage active, healthy living.
Healthy Seniors Day – Wednesday, September 10
Join the "Y" for Healthy Seniors Day, a free event happening at all four Lincoln YMCA branches. On Wednesday, September 10, the community is invited to gather for a day filled with social connection, wellness education, fitness, fun, and community resources. Those attending will enjoy:
- Dynamic group exercise classes
- Engaging speakers

Healthy Seniors Day is more than an event – it’s a celebration of vibrant aging and the power of community support. Each branch will offer its own unique schedule of activities. Visit ymcalincoln.org to see what’s happening near you.
