Kevin Kerr, Fitness Associate said, "After teaching 35 years, I enjoy working at the Y because I can stay active and get out of the house. The staff are friendly and always willing to help you feel like you belong. The members are upbeat because they are there to do something that they want to be doing. Being able to work part time is nice, as is getting to work the hours that I was looking to work."
