Growing Stronger through LIVESTRONG at the YMCA and Enhance Fitness
“After I finished treatment for the cancer…I came across LIVESTRONG at the YMCA. It just fit me perfectly. The people were wonderful and the people who ran the program were wonderful. And it made me feel so strong again. It really was an opening experience.”
Later, Ethel discovered Enhance Fitness.
“It was an arthritis-based program, which was right up my alley because I couldn’t walk through the supermarket pushing my cart without getting sharp pains going down my leg. As soon as Enhance Fitness started I was there three days a week… The pain went away…It encompasses every part of the body and just makes us feel good…. I felt strong again and I was back to myself.”
