On December 23rd 2011, I apprehensively took the step of joining the YMCA. I had gradually been losing weight, but realized that I must incorporate exercise to get over my weight loss plateau. I had never gone to a gym before, because I found them intimidating. I was afraid that everyone would be staring at me. I feared that I just wouldn't belong. I was pleasantly surprised when the YMCA staff took me under their wings. I felt as if I belonged instantly.
Through my journey, I have acquired numerous friendships. My YMCA friends hold me accountable for attending some of the wide variety of fitness classes offered. These friendships have expanded far beyond the YMCA and have made an extreme difference in my life. I am positive that our friendships that will last a lifetime.
The staff at the YMCA inspired me to join their team. They believed that I could successfully connect with others who are struggling to lose weight, yet desire to live a more active and healthy lifestyle. I attended training and I am now a wellness coach helping others adopt a healthier lifestyle. Although I have lost nearly 60 pounds, my journey is far from over. I am thankful each day because I am confident that I have the support of the YMCA to celebrate by successes and encourage me through any obstacles that may come my way…just as I will continue to be a champion for other new members. - Linda Weber
