YMCA SPC helped me a lot over the past year after a severe bout of disk disease had me using a walker and unable to enjoy my usual routines and activities of daily life. At age 70 my needs are way different than atheletes that are competing and 50 plus years younger. At the SPC I was able to learn so much about better goal setting and acceptance of my age limitations and chronic ankylosis that impacts spinal health. After workouts at SPC with one to one training and guidance and counseling I am fully ambulatory and my balance is improved and my pain level can be controlled with proper loading techniques . I am ready to return to programs at “ Mind , Body , Spirit Center in yoga and gentle aerobics and weight training too. I felt safe in all aspects of training despite my diagnosis. And my Physical Therapist would consult as needed to coordinate with Director at SPC Tommie Sienkowski. I encourage Seniors to explore scheduling an eval and tour of YMCASPC…The training staff is superb and very encouraging about meeting you where you are . While the young atheletes train at SPC for competition and performance there is time for old atheletes to continue the journey of a healthy outlook and feeling of well-being and independence. Again! Southington YMCA serves our community needs through the entire life cycle.
