Michelle’s Story

Michelle YMCA Y:Active Member

“The YMCA enables me to keep healthy and exercise regularly due to the fantastic facilities provided for my children”

Michelle Butler

Age: 34
Membership: Y:Active Family Member

Michelle joined YMCA in 2010, leaving another gym because of the crèche services and range of activities her children can participate in with YMCA. Both children started off in the crèche and moved up to the Little Stars football and multi-sports sessions at Thornton YMCA, getting their active time while Michelle gets hers.

Michelle Said:

“The YMCA enables me to keep healthy and exercise regularly due to the fantastic facilities provided for my children, Scarlett (7) and Freddie (3). Being a busy, working Mum the YMCA provides a full range of activities to be able to participate in a class or use the gym facilities whilst my children are cared for in the creche or the childrens holiday club (Little Stars). Both these facilities provide a safe and happy environment whilst introducing my children to a healthy and active lifestyle from a young age, with the added bonus of them both asking to go regularly!”
