Don's Success Story

By the time Don was three months into his YMCA program, he had already lost 75 percent of the weight he wanted to lose and had worked up to 150 minutes a week of exercise.

 

“I feel really good,” he said. “I feel healthier, I feel more active, I feel so good I could do things that I couldn’t do before.”
