At the Van Wert YMCA, many of us proudly wear multiple hats to help create the best possible experience for our members and our community. In my role, I serve as the Membership Director, Marketing Coordinator, Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Fitness Instructor and Soccer Coach. This allows me to support our members in a variety of ways - from helping families get connected, to promoting healthy lifestyles, to coaching and motivating individuals of all ages.
My lifelong journey has been around health and wellness towards a balanced, active lifestyle. The YMCA has truly become my home away from home, and I am grateful to be part of an organization that is so deeply committed to strengthening our community in spirit, mind and body.
Whether you have questions about membership, fitness programs, personal training, nutrition coaching, group exercise, or youth dances and soccer. I am always happy to help. Please feel free to reach out anytime at jaz@vwymca.org.
Thank you for your membership and for helping us make a positive impact in the lives of others. Together, we are building a healthier, stronger community.
