Joe's Story
Being a Member of a YMCA holds so many more benefits than just joining a gym and Joe’s story is a true testimonial of this. He was a member of a gym but was not seeing the progress he needed. He joined the Y and was introduced to our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Alicia Knetsche.

Living Our Cause Awards
They are the smiling faces members look forward to seeing every day, the people who are there to pray for somebody going through a tough time, and friends to celebrate with when weight loss milestones are reached. The frontline staff at the YMCA are integral pieces of the Y mission and cause, and this year we honor two outstanding staff with the Living Our Cause Award.
