September Member of the Month - Amy Nahley

Why is it important for you to be an active member at the YMCA?

In addition to reaching my own health goals, I stay active in the Y because it offers countless programs and benefits that our community depends on.

What is your first memory of the YMCA?

Picking my kids up from the After-School program offered by the Y. They were happy and had completed all their homework. It was a blessing for our family.

How has the YMCA impacted your life? 

I’ve been working with Michaela for a little over a year. She’s transformed how I look at exercise. Through her training, I’ve gained confidence and knowledge to make permanent changes to prioritize strength training.

What should this community know about the YMCA of Parkersburg? 

The YMCA is vital resource for childcare, healthy living, and recreation. Not many (if any) gyms offer child watch for parents to exercise.
