MY FAMILY USES THE YMCA ALL THE TIME!

I really enjoy the Move 2 Lose Program! Shannon, our team trainer is great! She is always coming up with challenging routines. Our children love the swimming lessons! We just can't get enough of the YMCA and all it has to offer! Thanks for making such a difference in our lives! ...

THE DAYCARE PROGRAM AT THE KLEPTZ YMCA WAS A HUGE HELP!

Our family was changed by the pleasant experience that we had at The Point preschool at the Kleptz YMCA. We were told about financial assistance when I lost my job, so our son was able to continue to go to preschool at The Point with good Christian leaders and staff. Our child would not have be...

MOVE 2 LOSE AT THE YMCA HELPED ME LOSE 10 INCHES!

I was changed by my experience at the West Carrollton YMCA. I just finished Season 1 of Move 2 Lose. Through the program I lost 4 pounds and over 10 inches! I learned that I can enjoy exercise outside of the pool. Nicole Agnew, my trainer, knew just how much to push me and did so in such a posi...

MAKING FITNESS A PRIORITY

There's never enough time in the day, but last year I decided it was time to move some things around and put fitness back on my list of things to do. I signed up with some fear and trepidation for a Move 2 Lose program at the Downtown YMCA near my house. It quickly became clear to me after ...

THE SOUTH YMCA IS TOPS
Recently I was asked by a member of the staff why I chose to go the the Y (South YMCA) and why I keep coming back? This was an easy question to answer, compared to all the other 'gyms' I'm familiar with, the South YMCA is tops! When you enter, you are greeted by friendly, efficient peopl...
