THIS IS MY Y PHIL BRUNO

“ I know that a big part of the picture is my commitment and determination to succeed. ” I have always been active. As an adult, I participated in triathlons and trained for them at the Y. A series of back surgeries represented a tipping point where I needed to be careful. After years of working out on my own, I decided to work with a personal trainer. Danny and I began working together after the first surgery. Working with him is never routine. He keeps me on track and constantly progressing, and I am down almost 50 pounds. The Y has high standards for the facility and staff. There is always someone on the floor to offer guidance, and the Y has a positive atmosphere you can’t find “ I’m in better shape now just anywhere. I want to get back to a than I was in high school. triathlon, probably in a year. ”
