Chambersburg Y Employment

The Member Corner

By Cindy Somaine, Y Member Since 2001


As a person diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), I want to share my story about the Chambersburg Y. MS stops people from moving. I have experienced depression and anxiety due to this, especially after seeing so many people debilitated from MS firsthand.

However, I found that exercise helps not just with that, but with cognitive development in adults. Knowing this now, I wish others would realize the benefits of exercise and do it!

My favorite things to do at the Y are fun: ActivTrax and yoga classes (and both are free)! Adding yoga has improved my balance and health significantly.

The Chambersburg Y has given me my quality of life back! My family and I joined 10 years ago. Little did I know what a positive impact it would have on my life. I would especially like to thank several staff members: Linda, Tammy, Barb and Claire.
