EMERY’S STORY
Emery Griggs joined the YMCA in 2011, newly graduated from high school. “At that time, I played video games too much and had put on some weight”, said Emery. “I was unhealthy”.
He began visiting the Y for weight lifting, swimming or basketball every day, and the extra pounds disappeared. “I recently gave away my Xbox because I don’t need it anymore”, commented Emery, “and I am healthier now”. Because of his commitment to healthy living, he was the June 2014 YMCA member with the most scan-ins!
In addition to increased health and strength, Emery has made friends at the Y. “I enjoy my healthy lifestyle”, remarked Emery, “but the real reason I come to the Y is the people”.
