I brought my children to swim when they were little but I didn’t join, I didn’t think it was for me. Recently, my neighbor said “you should join the new Y Studios.” I walked down because I live two blocks away and joined. It was the best thing I’ve every done! I’ve been coming every day to a different class. I’ve enjoyed all of them and I’m going to continue. My mental ability, everything is much better.

I try to vary my classes. I do HIIT, Pilates and kickboxing and I’m going to try cycling tomorrow. It’s really important as you get older that you have enough strength. The instructors are awesome. I’ve met so many nice people and all the ladies say hello and good morning. It’s been a very positive experience. I joined with my sister. I’m a retired teacher, but she is still teaching so she comes when she can.

I think everybody should try it. You can do it at your own pace. They give you options if you don’t want to do it one way. I thought in the beginning it might be a little intimidating but it is certainly not like that at all. It is very positive. I feel stronger!
