"I would have gone crazy..."

The Member Corner: Member Testamonial

Emily and Travis Yardley-Gontz have been members of our YMCA for less than a year. Their youngest girls, Callie and Mollie, are very active members in the pool, and Tessa frequents Teen Trek 2 during summer months.  Emily loves staying in shape with her favorite group exercise classes: cardio kickboxing, step, Zumba, and yoga.

This July, Emily welcomed a fourth child into their family. She often mentions how grateful she was during her pregnancy that we had two pools to enjoy. “I would have gone crazy without having a pool to enjoy!” Emily exclaimed.

The family has also enjoyed family activities such as family yoga, parent and tot playtime, and Breakfast with Santa. Shortly after their baby’s arrival, Emily said, “Because of the Y, I feel a part of this whole community. I didn’t have this experience before becoming a member of the Y. This place has given my family a place in Chambersburg and many, many close friends. My family is blessed.”

The Chambersburg Memorial YMCA makes an extra effort to provide classes for everyone: teens, youth, adults, pregnant women, active older adults, and families. If you love what we do here, let us know. Share your positive experience with others via FaceBook or by sending an email to bsmith@chbgy.org.
