Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle: Tim’s Story

Family

After Tim had spent years traveling for work and eating on the road, he realized that he wanted to make some serious changes in his life. He changed jobs and decided that he wanted a whole new lifestyle with health as the main focus.

Tim not only wanted to feel better, but also set an example of health for his children. Tim, his wife, and two children started going to the Y daily, doing anything from trying new classes, weight training, cardio, or just playing basketball with the kids. It did not take long for Tim to set higher goals for himself. He wanted to become stronger, faster, and build stamina. Tim began going to the gym two times a day for 5 months straight, along with running to and from the Y from home. He not only started to see extreme weight loss of 70lbs, but also a muscle transformation. He was gaining muscles, strength, endurance, and a super positive attitude. Tim is now down over 100lbs, running 5Ks, and the Y has become his second home.

Tim encourages, “Give yourself a year and it’s a life changer. The Y staff are friendly and the members are good. Because of the Y, everyone in our family is active.”

Tim’s favorite classes are TRX and MX4. He enjoys finishing his workout with the sauna and truly feels like it helped with his overall journey. 

We’d love to hear your Y story!
