I was never a gym type of guy.(I used to play team sports). I came here reluctantly because I had had surgery for spinal stenosis and was told I had to walk. It was last December and we had a long, icy, snowy, cold winter. My wife dragged me to the indoor track. What we found was that we belonged to a vibrant community. We try to go to the gym four or five times a week. We worked out with a trainer who ended up saving my wife's life. (She detected my wife's melanoma and thus, spared my wife from needed chemo and radiation). When we need the support of the Cancer Wellness Center, we go. We have met vibrant people and have attended some of the many cultural events this place has to offer. We have brought our grandson to some of the tot events. We feel like we discovered a gem and we hope to remain active members for a long time. Please join us!
