What do you like about your Y experience?

I joined the Orokawa Y last year at the urging of a friend, but since I knew no one there I didn't go; I was intimidated by the size and innumerable offerings.

However, this year at the end of summer, coming out of the Covid-19 withdrawal, I decided I needed to explore the Y again. There was a program on offer that included a couple of meetings with a trainer, and I took advantage of that. The young man who worked with me was exceptionally kind and helpful, encouraging me to keep coming, explaining many of the machines to me, and instructing me on how the different programs worked.

I signed up for a series of training sessions with Lucia Perfetti Clark, and I think it is the best choice I have ever made for improving my life!

First of all, it's a lot of fun. Second, she is a particularly personable young woman and we have formed a bond, united by the goal of getting me more fit and ready to withstand the oncoming results of advanced age. (I am 84 right now, but I see it coming).

Having this relationship with Lucia has motivated me to get going. I am at the Y almost every single Monday, Wednesday and Friday early in the day. Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of seeing the results of our work when I took my kitchen trash bag down to the chute.
I have always put it on a wheelie cart as it was too heavy for me to carry the long distance, and when I got there I have usually had to struggle and get creative to get the doggone thing up and into the chute. Yesterday to my own great surprise I carried it swiftly down the hall and picked it up and dumped without noticing the results of my work with Lucia.

Besides all this, I love going to the Y. Seeing all the busy people, young and old, streaming into the building early in the morning, all ready to take on their physical improvement task is very satisfying. I see people in my age group, and over it as well as, of course, below it. I see
activities that are tempting and that I know some day I will try. Until now I have not tried anything new but I look forward to doing so.

The spirit, the welcoming friendliness of the staff, the beautiful condition of the facility are definitely a draw and they are the reason, at first, that I returned to the Y after my first, failed enrollment.

Thanks for all you do.
