The PNC YMCA has been my gym for 4 years.
It's not just a building full of muscular people in pricey workout gear (though you'll have that), instead, it is a diverse community.
People stop and take the time to say Hi and chat. There's everyone from young, competitive athletes to older ladies and gents who want to keep fit, and absolutely everyone in between.
A few years ago, I lost over 130 lbs. The Y has been an incredible asset to me in my quest for a healthier life.
