Our family has Loved coming to the Western YMCA for over a decade on and off, & both my Children learned to swim in the indoor pool. But this was the 1st year I ve ever came and actually exercised in the Gym or pool, on social Media I had seen posts/videos of an instructor and one day while I was working out in the Gym I met her in person and she told me about a few classes she taught and I decided to start taking them and met some wonderful people in her classes who wide armed accepted me. NOW Here s the MAIN reason I m writing this review Last month we moved to a new house and started to move, I started missing classes to get the work that needed to be done done for the move and at the WORST time possible I had horrible pain and had to go to the ER and found out I needed emergency surgery to save my life.Shortly After surgery I received a message from Elizabeth Alexander (my Aqua class instructor) asking how I was doing with the move and offering to help. OMG I thought no way! WHAT amazing timing!! I reached right back out to her and told her what had happened and she snapped into action and went above and beyond for me! First she visited me in the hospital and brought me flowers and lifted my spirits, Then while I was kept there in the hospital Elizabeth recruited 2 girls from class and they went to my old house and packed up EVERTHING and I mean EVERYTHING even my cat! And packed up their vehicles and drove it ALL over to my new house and brought it all in for me! (Did I mention one of the ladies Mrs Alexander recruited to help was a VETERINARIAN !? Which is amazing since my fat cat hates people and a vet is the only person other then me who could of handled him!) I can t tell you how much this helped me and my family and what it s meant to me, I have some acquaintances that I ve known for decades that didn t, couldn t or just straight out Wouldn t do any of these things for me when I needed it most, but a woman who was a complete stranger to me 4 months ago did all that and even more. I can t wait to be fully healed and get back to her classes and my classmates!!
