Meet Our 2023 Frequent Y'ers

 Bernard Rudegeair | Upper Main Line YMCA

As a former hospital administrator, Bernard understands the importance of individual responsibility in maintaining good health. Bernard’s proactive approach to fitness not only benefits him and his wife but also sets an inspiring example for others.

“I enjoy coming to the Y because I enjoy that there is room for me and my wife, both in the workout space and the parking lot. Our previous workout center was too crowded. We come early and it works for us."

We're grateful to have Bernard as part of our Y family, embodying the spirit of commitment and wellness every step of the way. Becoming a Frequent Y'er is all about embracing the excitement of consistent progress.

Kathy Gillan | Upper Main Line YMCA

With retirement marking a new chapter in life, Kathy has embraced visits to the Y not just for exercise - but as a vital part of her daily routine. Kathy enjoys coming to the Y for exercise and socialization.

“Now that I’m retired, it’s my job. I approach health and wellness as I once did my job. I owe good health to myself and to my family."

Kathy’s commitment to health and wellness is truly inspiring, reminding us all of the importance of prioritizing self-care and maintaining an active lifestyle, not just for ourselves but for the ones we love.
