1. Tell us a little bit about yourself: what are some fun facts about you?

I’ve been a Y Member for 6 months now. Since then, I’ve lost 51lbs. I also work at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in Vienna. In my spare time, I write poetry and dabble in photography.

I like to get my heart pumping through cardio exercise and the Y's Muay Thai Boxing program.

3. Are you currently enrolled in fitness classes at the Y? If so, please list all of the classes you take.

I don’t attend any fitness classes, but I do enjoy the Y’s Muay Thai Boxing program. It’s a great way to relieve stress and it keeps me mentally focused on life in general.

4. What is your favorite part of the YMCA of Parkersburg?

My favorite part of the YMCA is the basketball court because after I do my main workout for the day, I relax by shooting some hoops.

5. Why is the YMCA of Parkersburg your preferred gym?

The YMCA is my preferred gym because of the friendly atmosphere that the staff and fellow members create.
