What if number four: what if I didn't start going to the Y

The tour of the Y it felt like it would be magnificent and some place where I would have mostly full acceptance. Turns out I was right. Since the first time I worked out there as a member in Core Power a class where I still occasionally go to despite it being geared towards senior citizens due to my social interaction with a lot of them I felt at home. With a few slight hiccups here and there and in spite of them I have many friends who I high-five there some who I hug and a lot of fun memories either at the gym doing classes or power workouts on fun runs swimming on the Boise Community team as a member going to classes with friends shooting baskets just to get coordination going to the hot tub or steam room and all the conversations with others in the locker room, the Y is the place for me to be and I even have complimented staff online on several occasions and have written a positive review about the fun runs. What if I never went to the Y? I would be stuck with the REC getting an expensive alumni pass working out with people with high tool level of bro and people who have skimpy clothes that are female. I also wouldn't be happy at the REC because for years I only felt safe at the pool or group exercise. I might've tried Anytime Fitness but there isn't any classes there that I am aware of and the clientele is for sure not as good as the Y because the Y clientele is the best of any gym I have gone to. On a more practical level than what gym to go to I wouldn't have the acceptance of a great friendly community one where the first time I went the door was open for me. I had never had that experience before at any gym on the first time or ever. I also feel like the community I have had at the Y extends to management the community continues to amaze and inspire me and the management has my back all the way. If I never had a membership to the Y I would not be without community- I have two church families and my advocacy family and my support family and my Special Olympics and coffee shop and Ten Barrel and Fort Boise and Albertsons' family but I would be sans gym family and that wouldn't be ideal because I love to work out and I love to feel solid even when things aren't always worked on completely in my health otherwise. I will continue to go to the Y for the rest of my life and I intend to look at being a Y ambassador and what it entails in May. And I am glad that I found the Y it has been absolutely incredible.
