Sheryl and Richard C. have been members of the Mitch Park YMCA since 2017, and the Y has become an important part of their daily routine. For them, it is about more than exercise. The community they’ve found, the friendships they’ve gained, and the support they’ve experienced are just a few of the many reasons they keep coming back.
“We plan our days around coming to the Y. Being here makes us feel better, stronger, and more energized,” they shared. “The people are what make it so special. It is a place where you really feel welcomed.”
When asked what they would say to someone considering a membership at the Y, their answer was full of enthusiasm: “Go for it. Do it. Come on!”
For members like Richard and Sheryl, the Y is not just a place to work out. It is a place to connect, grow, and be part of a community that encourages health, friendship, and support for all.
