Greg Rohde became a member of the South City Family YMCA in February 2025 so he could accelerate his weight loss, build community, and ward off depression. Greg’s financial situation prevented him from affording the membership dues and our financial assistance program reduced that barrier to provide him access. As a member of the South City Y, Greg has dropped 100 pounds by committing to our personal training and group exercise programs!

Greg said, “I’m grateful that Personal Training began with a customized assessment. My trainer listened before he spoke. Instead of handing me a generic, cookie cutter program, my nationally certified trainer tailored one based on my personal goals, interests and limitations...My sessions have increased my flexibility, strength, and overall physical and mental well being. Most importantly, they have increased my self confidence in ways that positively affect other areas of my life. I like this new person I’m becoming.”

Greg’s story exemplifies how the YMCA expands programs that reduce social isolation and obesity, resulting in a stronger sense of belonging and vitality. Greg knows firsthand the dangers of isolation and depression. As an Active Older Adult, Greg says “I’ve benefitted from developing a new routine that gets me out of the house daily and puts me within range of the smiles and greetings from Staff Members and new friends. I felt so valued the day I arrived late for class and heard three people chime out ‘there he is!’ I knew I belonged.”
