January Impact Story

Rick has been a dedicated member of the YMCA since the 1980s, making the Y a core part of his daily routine. Over the years, he’s enjoyed racquetball, handball, wallyball, and weightlifting. These days, you can find him walking five miles on the track to keep his cardio health in check. But for Rick, it’s not just about the workout — it’s about the people. The friendships he’s built with members and staff, and conversations ranging from sports to life are what keep him coming back.

The Y has also played a key role in Rick’s recovery from two hip surgeries. He credits the supportive environment and the rehabilitation work he does here for helping him get back on his feet. For Rick, the YMCA is a place where fitness meets friendship, and where a sense of community makes all the difference. We’re happy to have you here, Rick!
