Meet Our 2023 Frequent Y'ers

Tracey Hope | Coatesville YMCA

Tracey is a dedicated member of our Coatesville branch who finds community and belonging in our Group Exercise classes.

"The instructors are wonderful and the other members are great, too. The classes are fun and everyone is so friendly and nice, which keeps me coming back!”

We're motivated by Tracey and her dedication to her wellness routine. Thanks for being a strong part of our community, Tracey!


Kris Firey-Poling | Kennett Area YMCA

For Kris, the Y is more than just a gym—it's a sanctuary for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Her motivation to prioritize her health extends beyond personal benefits; she’s also driven by the connections she has made at the Y.

"I stay motivated to work on my health and wellness because people notice when I’m away. I also care for others who I don’t see there.”

Kris' dedication fosters a sense of community and support that we value at the Y. Her holistic approach to wellness sets Kris apart.

We're honored to have her as part of our Y family, enriching our community with their positivity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to a healthier lifestyle.



John Squeri | Lionville Community YMCA

For John, the Y isn't just a gym—it's a welcomed escape from the daily grind, offering a space where he can focus on his well-being alongside others who share the same dedication.

"I enjoy coming to the Y because it is an escape from my daily work routine with others that are focused on their health. Staying fit and eating right has proven to be the best method to prevent illness."

John is motivated to maintain a healthy lifestyle because he realizes that fitness and proper nutrition are essential for illness prevention. He also understands the importance of balance, recognizing that occasional indulgence in less healthy foods is part of a holistic approach to wellness.

We're honored to have such a well-rounded individual as part of our Y family, inspiring us all to prioritize self-care and enjoy the journey to better health


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.
