Our Mission: to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy

spirit, mind and body for all.

Although he hasn’t been a member of the
YMCA for long, Joey Sparren continues to
impress us with his motivation and
dedication to personal wellness. Driven by
sports, he visits the Towpath Trail Y three
to four times a week and works frequently
with our personal trainer, Dave Lingo, to
improve his workouts. Joey claims Lingo
has helped him to push himself, give him a
better mindset, provide nutrition tips, and
set goals throughout his fitness journey.
Already seeing great changes in his physical
abilities, diet, and motivation, he
encourages anyone looking to make
changes to their health to consider a
personal trainer. Read on...
