May Member of the Month
The YMCA of Parkersburg's Member of the Month is designed to help you get to know the members that help make our Y community great. This month, we’re introducing Sarah Wigal who has been classified as one of the Y’s Sustaining Members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s get to know her!
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself: what are some fun facts about you?
Fun facts about me... I'm a mom of 2, and we have 3 cats and 2 dogs at home. We volunteer for a wildlife rescue so there are times we have baby bears, possums and fawns running around too. My husband would be the Joe Exotic of WV if I would let him. I love to travel, and was blessed with the opportunity to spend 2 weeks in Russia for New Year's and Christmas several years ago. My best friend lives in LA, and we try to visit him yearly. I enjoy helping coach my son's t-ball team, have always loved singing, and feel most at peace in the woods.
2. What types of fitness/training/exercise do you enjoy the most?
My favorite type of fitness/training/exercise is yoga, but if dancing around my house like a fool while cleaning counts as exercise, then that's a close 2nd.
3. Are you currently enrolled in fitness classes at the Y? If so, please list all of the classes you take.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have not gotten the chance to enroll in any of the fitness classes at the Y yet, but would love to! I haven’t found anything that fits with my work schedule thus far.
4. What is your favorite part of the YMCA of Parkersburg?
My favorite part of the YMCA of Parkersburg is honestly the interactions I have with the staff. Everyone is so friendly and easy-going. I stand at the desk and talk way more than I probably should, LOL. My favorite machine is the elliptical.
5. Why is the YMCA of Parkersburg your preferred gym?
I chose the YMCA because of the family membership option, and the convenient location from my work. My kids love to swim and play basketball, and they enjoy going to child watch when I utilize the gym on the weekends. The Y does such great things for the youth of our community, and I am proud to be a member and supporter of all the programs they offer.
