Y'all already know it's MVO time, and for this week we have Kim! 🥳 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎📍? Originally from Texas, but grew up in Atlanta 🍑 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒀? 9️⃣ years! 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒀❓❓ "When we moved here in 2014, I was a member of a great gym in Atlanta. It was important for me to find something similar here, in Charlotte. However, I thought the YMCA was a place where people went if they needed a safe place to sleep. I had no idea it was a gym/community center! Once I toured it, I knew it was prefect for our family. At my first class, the person next to me was friendly and welcoming and I've been coming ever since. 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒔 . "Don't be afraid to try the classes. They are for ALL fitness levels and are filled with fun people! The instructors are amazing and happy to help anyone with questions." 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆? "I love the feel of community at the Y. It's so nice to walk in the door and see a sea of familiar and smiling faces. People genuinely care about each other and notice when someone hasn't been to class in a while. I always feel like I am right where I belong in that moment and that feeling keeps me going back." 🥰 𝑭𝒖𝒏 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 😀 "Our family travels a lot due to our children's sports and my husband's races. Our next trip is to Utah where my husband will run an ultra-marathon. I've signed up to do the 10K, although I'm not really a runner so there is some training in my future. We'll follow that with a big trip to Montana where will do the Rut Mountain Runs in Big Sky. " 🛣
