Tamarea

Here at the South YMCA we have a group of dedicated gym members who like to arrive in the early evenings and work out together. The group has continuously expanded because of their welcoming spirits and shared dedication to their physical health. They push each other and strengthen each other through encouragement and gym commitment.

When asked what the YMCA means to him, Tamarea (featured middle) said, "I come here to get a lift in, but now it's me and the boys showing up, spotting one another, trash talking, getting them to push another set, making sure no one skips leg day. Somedays we drag, but we're here getting better together and doing the thing. Appreciate the Y for being here for us."

From meeting through friends of friends and sharing similar gym mindsets, these guys now create incredible moments together.
