My family has been coming to the Y for 20 years. I started organizing pickleball games a few years ago. The game is challenging, but not intimidating. Young and old, men and women. Everyone plays together. The gym is electric. This community really cares about each other. We’ve found our second family at the Y.

I’ve been at the Y for 60 years. It’s more than a gym, it’s my church. I’m here three days a week at 5am. A lot has changed over the years, but I’ve always found people I can connect with.

February is American Hearth Month and the New York City’s YMCA is encouraging families to get heart healthy. 

I came to the Y with a friend because I was overweight and unhealthy. A trainer helped me get started and now I can see and feel a difference. This was the best decision of my life.

The Y is truly a staple in our community. I hope one day my daughter takes her children, so they can have the same life-changing experiences my family has had.
