Welcome to FiftyForward J. L. Turner Center!

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+ can enroll as a FiftyForward J.L. Turner member at no additional cost. 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.
