This month's member spotlight is John Hogg!
John has been a member of the Y for over five years. He started his Y journey by coaching baseball at one of our branches and then became a member.
John remembers when he first returned to the Y after being home during COVID and how happy he was to see his Y friends and get back to his routine. He says he didn’t realize how much he missed it until it was gone. The Y is just as much a social place to him as it is a place to work out.
John says, if you are considering joining the Y, don't hesitate. He loves the Y, especially the Dow Westside YMCA branch, and he loves that it is basically brand new from top to bottom, even new equipment. John says the staff is friendly, professional, and engaging. He also says that the Y is welcoming, not intimidating, and has all the new equipment that even experienced lifters may need.
