Longtime Y Member Finds Community and Fellowship at the Y

I’m 91 and exercise has always been central in my life, since I was young. I take aqua aerobics with a group of 20 women. The majority of us are seniors, and we’ve all become close friends. We’re dedicated, devoted, and determined. And I feel more vigorous and have more energy because of the YMCA.

The Smiling Swimmer: Nikko's Story

My husband started taking Nikko to Y swimming lessons at 8 months old. The Y puts a smile on her face. She’s healthy and active, with the pride and self-esteem that comes with feeling strong as a swimmer. The YMCA was critical to getting her there.

Changing Lives for the Better: Frank's Story

The Y has changed me in so many ways. But what they’ve given me the most is the opportunity to be me. The Y allows me to take what I love to do and help change people’s lives. The best gift that the Y gives anyone is allowing them to be themselves.

Building People and Communities: Nora's Story

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.

Finding a Place to Belong: Sid's Story

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.

Rene's Journey to Better Health

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.
