It Just Feels Good

Though I’ve been a member of the Y all of my life, and an employee for nearly the last 3 years, it has only been since this past summer that I’ve really started to take advantage of it. Over the last months I’ve been doing my best to stay in shape and healthy. Whether it is after I finish a shift, or late in the evening when I’ve finished schoolwork, I try to get to the gym 2-3 times per week (not always meeting the goal).

While usually my plan is to get in and out as quickly as I can, on Wednesday night I decided I’d take my time and enjoy my workout. I realized how unique of an experience working out really is. At the gym, you are surrounded by others who are also doing their best to stay healthy. It is one of those rare times in life where you know you’re truly doing the right thing.

As the title says… it just feels good.

Coffee for our Members

At my Y, one of the things we do to show members our appreciation is offer free coffee. At all hours we try to keep a pot of regular and decaf coffee (as well as some water for our tea drinkers) on the burners. The coffee is a surprisingly popular commodity in the front lobby.

On the busiest mornings, it seems like we make pot after pot as members drink cup after cup. Many times I’ve had members thank me as I brew the next serving, or compliment us on how the coffee tastes. Each time I’m amazed by the gratefulness of the members for something as simple as a cup of coffee.
