WPS and YMCA team up to support senior wellness with new fitness program

YMCA memberships at no additional cost available to eligible Medicare supplement insurance members in Wisconsin

MADISON, WI, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WPS, a health solutions company, has partnered with the Wisconsin YMCA Associations to give Wisconsin Medicare supplement insurance base plan customers a membership at no additional cost at participating YMCA locations across the state beginning September 1, 2025.

The program1 is designed to make it easier for members to stay active, healthy and connected. With convenient access to local YMCA branches, seniors can take part in activities that support physical, mental and social wellness—ranging from group classes and water aerobics to walking tracks and strength training. Participation is free and includes a standard YMCA membership at eligible Wisconsin locations.

“This program reflects what our members told us they value,” said Marcus Julian, WPS Chief Health Plan Officer. “The YMCA shares our commitment to supporting the whole person---mind, body and spirit—through local programs designed for seniors. It’s a meaningful way to support healthy aging while keeping the member experience simple and seamless.”

The YMCA’s trusted reputation, senior-focused programming and nonprofit mission made it a strong fit.

“We are excited to partner with WPS to welcome their members into 60 YMCA locations across Wisconsin,” said Jon Agnew, CEO, Upper Midwest Alliance of YMCAs. “We are confident that our collaboration will help seniors to Move, Connect & Discover all the YMCA has to offer. The values and mission of our two organizations align perfectly and make this partnership a win, win, win for the YMCA, WPS and most importantly the members we will collectively serve to support a healthy lifestyle.”

WPS members can find participating YMCA locations on the company’s website at wpshealth.com/ymca. To enroll, members should register at a participating YMCA branch.

This new program is available only to WPS Wisconsin Medicare supplement insurance base plan customers.
