YMCA of Auburn-Lewiston

Fitness & Wellness

Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It is about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind, and body. We have designed our programs to meet the needs of every individual no matter their age or level of fitness. It is not about the activity you choose, but it is the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside.

We provide a welcoming environment at all three of our locations focused on helping you and your family gain strength, endurance, and self- confidence. Members and non-members alike are invited and encouraged to participate in our programs!

Corporate Wellness

Aimed at enhancing the well-being of corporate participants and transforming lives for the better.

In addition to health coaching, we offer corporate fitness memberships, personal training, on site fitness and wellness classes, fun corporate challenges, and company gatherings at our Outdoor Learning and Education Center (OLEC). 

Member Challenges

Member Challenges

We offer numerous challenges throughout the year which are not only about physical activity but spirit and mind as well. 

Includes challenges such as the Everybody Move Your Body 30-Day Fitness Challenge, where participants are challenged to complete 5 activities per week, spanning cardio, strength, yoga, mindfulness, and nutrition.

Walking

Diabetes Prevention Program

Participants explore how healthy eating, physical activity, and behavior changes can help benefit their overall health.

In the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program, a trained Lifestyle Coach will introduce topics in a supportive, small group environment and encourage participants as they explore how healthy eating, physical activity and behavior changes can help reduce their risk for diabetes and benefit their overall health. 

The Diabetes Prevention Program is a recognized program by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

LIVESTRONG

Helping to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors through physical and mental wellness. 

Cancer is a life-changing disease that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on all those affected. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is an evidence-based physical activity and well-being program to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their total health.

Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to safely achieve their goals such as building muscle mass and strength, increasing flexibility and endurance, and improving confidence and self-esteem. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is helping people move beyond cancer in mind, body, and spirit.

This program is funded by the Maine Cancer Foundation.
