My experience with the Clinton YMCA started with an aerobics class held in the Washington School gym taught by Mary Diener. The Y quickly became a regular part of my fitness routine. I would go to classes, or work out in the fitness center while my husband played men's basketball. At one point, Lance and I developed a weightlifting regimen too! Of course, after the kids came, we started in with swimming lessons, dance soccer, baskerball, and football... all the things the Y offers. At one point we had three kids in different classes and I was working out in between those lessons. We would just pack our supper and brown bag it.
After many years of being a participant, I found myself teaching. My days of leading spinning were rewarding and the friendships... priceless. I have loved the variety of classes our YMCA offers and I've probably participated in most. Nowadays, you'll find me at the 5:30 AM Les Mills Body Pump class. I love the workout and the people who keep me accountable for getting there at such a crazy hour! The Clinton YMCA has been an important part of my journey... my health and my family's, as well as all the relationships I've been blessed with over these past 30 some years. I'm very grateful for this place!
