"What I love about YMCA is the smiley staff and the sense of community you guys create. "
"I thoroughly enjoy going to the gym and will continue for as long as I am able. I love it all, every single exercise I do, I enjoy doing. "
"Starting exercise is the hardest part and needs the most motivation. Starting means consistency not just attending the gym once a month. When you have become regular this is when your journey will begin and everything will fall into place "
"Swimming is a life skill and that starting at a young age means it becomes second nature. She’s found the consistency between the teachers beneficial with Liam and Lucy doing a great job in building Olivia’s confidence. "
