Will Cox

Meet Will Cox, a longtime Hutchinson YMCA member who rejoined in February after suffering a heart attack the previous October. 

When he first came back, even working out for 15–20 minutes a few days a week was a challenge, and he relied heavily on a walker or cane to get around. 

With support from the Y, Will slowly built up his strength and confidence, and today he works out for over an hour, five days a week. 

Thanks to his commitment and the encouraging community at the Y, he can now walk at home without his walker and often only uses a cane in public. 

Will says the Y has changed his life for the better by helping him live a healthier lifestyle, build meaningful friendships, and most importantly, be more active with his wife and kids.
