Loving the Ward Downtown YMCA

Danielle has lost 98 pounds since joining the Y four months ago. In December she had difficulty getting out of bed and now, Danielle does Body Pump, yoga, and resistance training. William is recovering from addiction and says that working out at the Y really helps. Both Danielle and William have done most of the classes at the Downtown Y and love them. They say Jill, Erica, and Holly are awesome and very encouraging. “The instructors push you and have a smile on their face.” Prior to joining the Y, Danielle and William went to other gyms but the atmosphere didn’t feel right. They say that there is a sense of community and sense of home at the Downtown Y. Danielle and William are amazed at how far they have come in the four months that they have been at the Y. They say that the difference the Y has made in their lives is astounding.
