Enhance Fitness
Healthy Heart Maintenance
Healthy Heart Maintenance is a self-monitored exercise program designed for the graduates of the Cardiac Rehabilitation program at MelroseWakefield Healthcare. The clinicians of the medically-monitored program recommend continued exercise following the completion of rehab. Our program features a casual class with a format similar to rehab, led by YMCA staff. Evidence shows that members have better outcomes than non-members, so membership is recommended. In addition, there are cost savings for participants who exercise every week, with no additional cost for attending multiple classes, and access to all other features of our membership. Please contact Bernadette Farrell at bfarrell@metronorthymca.org with questions.
Music & Performing Arts Center
The Music & Performing Arts Center is located at Demakes Family YMCA in Lynn. From the first strum of a guitar to the final bow on stage, the Music & Performing Arts Center is where young people across Lynn and the North Shore can discover the performing arts, music, digital production, and more.
