About Us
The Center for Active Living is located on 11th Street in
downtown Worthington on the site of the former
YMCA. After the YMCA moved into their new building
on the MNWest Campus, the City of Worthington
purchased the old YMCA building and tore down the
original front portion; lobby, pool and locker rooms,
kitchen and upper gym while leaving the main floor
gym, racquetball courts, and complete lower level
intact. They then began new construction, adding the
new front half onto the existing portion. The new
addition includes the CAL director’s office, small
conference room, main community room, catering
kitchen, restrooms with showers and an elevator that
allows access to each level for people of all abilities. The Center for Active Living opened it’s doors in it’s current
location in April 2013.
Continuing the tradition of the Worthington Senior Center since the 1970’s, the renamed and expanded Center
for Active Living provides programs and events for the active adults in our community aged 50+. Daily activities
include: pickleball, card playing, board games, billiards, walking on the lower level track, yoga, exercise classes,
technology classes, crafts, monthly birthday parties, along with evening events such as Piano & Hors
D’oeuvres, potlucks, holiday parties, and more.
The CAL is proud to have received a large grant in
2022 from MNRAAA to be able to purchase many
items that elevate our members’ experience. With
that grant money, we purchased 10 bicycles, 6
kayaks + lifejackets, 4 raised garden beds, 15 laptops
and 13 iPads, a smartboard, portable projector, and
a Bluetooth speaker for presentations. Along with
being able to pay for exercise instructors to come in
and teach classes. These purchases allowed our
members to learn new skills, encourage fellowship
and community interaction, and improve strength,
flexibility and balance.
The Center for Active Living has expanded the programs offered to include health education and screenings,
social activities to combat loneliness and promote social involvement, provide and expand fitness programs,
promote mental alertness and maintain positive mental health, active aging awareness, special events and day
trips, and offer more volunteer opportunities within the community.
There is a place for everyone at the CAL!
Our Mission is
to enrich the lives of our aging population by
providing a dedicated space to promote social
interaction, physical activity, health guidance,
resource assistance, and educational opportunities.
in 2013
The City of Worthington purchased the former YMCA
site in downtown Worthington, completed a major
renovation of the building, and rebranded the Senior
Center as The Center for Active Living to more
accurately reflect the lifestyle of it’s membership.
