Hobby wise, I am an avid sports fan, reader, and golfer.

I enjoy cardio and select muscle exercises.

I don't take any fitness classes.
4. What is your favorite part of the YMCA of Parkersburg?
My favorite part of the Y is its selection of cardio and muscle equipment. I’m a huge fan of its ellipticals, bikes, and muscle machines.
5. Why is the YMCA of Parkersburg your preferred gym?
The Y has a strong swimming community and excellent programs for children including daycare and summer camp. For those who focus on fitness, the Y offers 24/7 access and provides a great atmosphere to work out with friends. When relaxing from workouts, the Y has excellent locker rooms with saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms.
