As we continue to listen to officials regarding best practices we are also committed to offering older adults safe connections and socialization which are critical to good mental and physical health. All FiftyForward centers are open for in-person programming, please note masks are required for all indoor activities. Check out our fun and engaging virtual/online and outdoor programming, too! There’s something for everyone. Contact your preferred location here.
FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center is a partnership between FiftyForward and the YMCA of Middle Tennessee
The center provides enrichment for older adults through age-appropriate health, wellness, social, and educational opportunities. As the center is co-located at the Bellevue Family YMCA, FiftyForward is able to offer individual and group exercise classes in a wellness environment. Our facility opened in 2006, and this unique partnership was the first of its kind in the country. All Bellevue YMCA members who are 50+ are automatically enrolled members of J. L. Turner Center. Please stop by or a call to learn about all of the wonderful activities that our members enjoy!
For more information on membership, please visit the Bellevue YMCA/FF website.
