Member Spotlight - Meet Dave "Sparky" Williams

Y member giving thumbs up
July 2, 2024

This month, we are excited to feature Dave Williams, affectionately known as "Sparky," in our Member Spotlight. A dedicated member of our YMCA community since at least 2000, Dave’s commitment to fitness and positive energy are truly inspiring.

Dave’s workout routine is a balanced mix of strength and cardio. He spends 50 minutes on weights followed by 40 minutes of cardio, rotating between push and pull exercises. This consistency has kept him in great shape and motivated for over two decades.

What Dave loves most about the Y is the open gym floor, with its large windows that bring in natural light. He also appreciates the friendly staff, convenient hours, and the welcoming atmosphere that embraces all body types and lifestyles.

When it comes to his workout playlist, Dave enjoys a diverse mix of classic rock, modern pop, and Anglican hymns. This unique combination reflects his membership in an Episcopal choir and keeps him energized during his workouts.

Dave’s motivation to stay active comes from a unique source: the delicious desserts his wife makes for him at the end of the day. As he humorously puts it, "I work out to eat!"

Dave's dedication and cheerful spirit make him a true asset to our YMCA community. We are proud to have him as a member and grateful for the inspiration he provides. Keep up the great work, Sparky!
