Alexcis and Jordan Gibler

When Alexcis and Jordan Gibler joined the Andover YMCA with their four children, Tobias, Mosely, Solomon and Milo, they weren't sure what to expect. It turned out to be a life-changing decision, because the branch become a second home to them.

Each day has become a cherished routine. Alexcis drops her three younger children off at Kid Zone, knowing they are safe, loved and well cared for. Her oldest child heads to Fun Fit, where he stays active, builds confidence and has fun with friends. With peace of mind that her children are in good hands, Alexcis heads upstairs to the fitness floor, where she gets to work out alongside friends who have become like family.

Along the way, the staff and members have become an important part of their everyday lives. 

The Andover Y isn't just where their family comes to exercise, it's where they belong.
