ADRIAN — The Frank & Shirley Dick Family YMCA and ProMedica’s Adrian Ebeid Neighborhood Promise have announced that YMCA wellness programming will once again be available in Adrian beginning in June.
In the beginning, planned programs include cardio drumming, specialty yoga for seniors, Zumba dance exercise, and other popular offerings.
In the long run, other course offerings led by YMCA instructors will be based on community feedback, ensuring the programs reflect local needs and interests.
All program offerings at the Adrian Ebeid Center at Comstock School are free to the public, including the new wellness courses offered by the YMCA. Funding is provided by the Lenawee Community Foundation through its support of the Adrian Ebeid Neighborhood Promise.
People who are interested in learning more or trying out one of the exercise or wellness programs at a shortened session are welcome to attend an open house at the Ebeid Center, located at 801 E. Maumee St. in Adrian, on Monday, June 9 from 1-5 p.m. Demonstrations and active participation sessions lasting 10 to 15 minutes will be offered throughout the afternoon.
The schedule of wellness courses offered at the Ebeid Center June through August are:
- Cardio drumming, Mondays and Wednesdays, June 11 to July 2, at 5 p.m.
- Yoga for seniors, Tuesdays, June 17 to July 29 at 9 a.m.
- Dance exercise, Mondays and Wednesdays, July 7 to July 30, at 5 p.m.
Community feedback will determine what follows in the fall.
“We are thrilled to bring YMCA wellness programs back to Adrian,” Greg Stang, executive director of the Francis Family YMCA and the Frank & Shirley Dick Family YMCA, said in a news release. “At the Y, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live healthier, happier lives, and this partnership with ProMedica allows us to extend that mission. Together, we’re creating a welcoming space for connection, movement, and wellbeing — right in the heart of the community.”
The Frank & Shirley Dick YMCA is located on the campus of ProMedica Hickman Hospital and operates under the YMCA of Greater Toledo.
De’Angelo Boone, coordinator of education and programming at the Ebeid Center, expressed optimism about the new offerings.
“We are very excited about YMCA programming returning to Adrian,” Boone said.
“Making these no-charge health and wellness offerings available at the Ebeid Center at Comstock is especially important because east Adrian is where the greatest health disparities exist in Lenawee County.”
