Lindsey’s Y StoryMeet Lindsey, a fitness instructor volunteer at Centre Branch YMCA!

I’m Courtney, I’m 34 years old and I’m a mother of three. I’ve been a member since February 2012. Back at the end of September 2016, I went on a weight loss journey. Between then and the summer of 2017 I had naturally lost over 100 pounds after working out and making healthier food choices.

TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 2022 Why The Y: Barb's Y Story The YMCA has been a vital part of my mobility for many years. I have struggled with osteoarthritis and osteoporosis but can't take anti-inflammatory drugs because the side effects have landed me in the hospital many times over the years.
