TOGETHER

Picture
Levi Campos was told by his doctors that he needed to make an immediate change to save his life. They offered the ultimatum: eat properly and exercise or live a shorter life. With his membership, Levi started taking aqua fitness classes, and with the help of his great instructors he has built muscle, working on his cardiorespiratory endurance.  Along the way he’s improved his swimming technique and water movement, and had fun doing it.  “I am so grateful to the aqua fit instructors at the YMCA. The instructors, along with the lord, have given me abundant life and I am so thankful for that. “
