“Through collaborations with
organizations like the Arthritis
Foundation, the Y is able to better reach
all residents of our community and
provided them with quality programs
they can fully participate in. The Y
provides the Arthritis Foundation with a
place in which they can send their clients

“We are two retirees who have changed
our lives through our experience at
the Laguna Niguel YMCA. We recently
returned to So. Cal from a couple of
years out of state. We started with
Debbie’s class in the circuit room. Her
smiles and support and very positive
attitude kept us coming back and soon
we developed the regular habit of
exercise. Now we come regularly on our
own and are staying faithful. We love
the “family atmosphere” and the staff
who always have a friendly greeting
from the minute we walk in the door
to the bantering with Mark while we
are on the treadmill. Thank you all for
helping us be healthier!”
