We know everyone benefits from a healthy lifestyle; but often an individual may think they wouldn't fit in at a gym. At the Y, we strive to make everyone feel like they belong and encourage healthy living by emphasizing both a sense of community and family. Y members see other people like themselves, they experience fitness that accommodates their circumstances and feel the support and encouragement from staff. In order to be just such a special place, considerable specialized training must occur such as certification for a Rhythm for Parkinson's course and specialize equipment is required. Working with unique populations doesn't cover all the costs, but we all benefit from healthy citizens. Donations make those opportunities possible through sponsoring certifications, purchasing equipment, and often reducing entry fees.
Under these conditions what seems impossible becomes an achievement, just ask Frank W.
"I end this 365th day weighing under 200 pounds. Blood pressure down. Cholesterol down...back pain down. More importantly, I feel great and ready to keep working hard. I have to thank all the awesome people at the Y, everybody there makes me feel welcome and special."
