💙 Thank you, Riley.
After nearly five years at the YMCA of Tuscaloosa, Riley is beginning a new chapter, and we’re going to miss her dearly.
Riley started at the Y in September 2021 as a part-time Wellness Coach before becoming Membership Director in January 2022 and eventually Operations Director. Along the way, she supported our membership and wellness teams, personal trained, taught several classes, and even started one of her favorites, Hybrid Fitness, in April 2022.
But Riley’s greatest impact can’t be measured by titles or responsibilities. It’s in the relationships she built with our members every single day.
For Riley, one of the greatest joys of working at the Y was watching members overcome challenges and reach goals they once thought were out of reach. For so many of our members, especially our seniors, Riley became much more than a familiar face at the Y. She became someone they looked forward to seeing, trusted, and cared deeply about.
The feeling is certainly mutual. 💙
Riley, thank you for the energy, encouragement, laughter, and genuine care you brought to the Y. You have made a lasting impact on this community, and the Y will always be a part of your story.
We’ll miss you, Riley!
