For decades, married couple Brian and Andrea have enjoyed frequent visits to the YMCA– and during COVID-19 was no exception. Adapting to a lack of socialization in the midst of the pandemic and the added responsibility as caretakers for their aging mothers, 2020 was a tough adjustment. Brian and Andrea jumped on the opportunity to continue exercising with the Y when Virtual classes became available, and were able to maintain their fitness routines and feel connected to the community of friends. Brian and Andrea found feelings of health, vitality, and belonging at the Y, helping them through a challenging phase of life.
