For Theresa Reynolds, YWCO has been more than a place to stay active — it’s been a constant in her life, a community that has welcomed her for years. From the moment she first walked through our doors, she found not only a space to grow stronger, but also friendships, encouragement, and a sense of belonging. In her own words, she shares how YWCO has been a part of her journey, year after year, and why it will always feel like home.

More than Fitness: Kathie’s journey with the YWCO

Kathie Shinholser shared how the Y has been more than a place to work out; it’s been a second home, a source of lifelong friendships, and a space where she’s been able to give back as much as she’s received. Her journey is woven into the fabric of our community, and we’re grateful for the impact she’s had on so many lives.
