Casey Frachiseur isn’t done yet. She continues to inspire with her remarkable weight loss journey. Our North Brandon Family YMCA member for almost three years, Casey is inspiration personified – she lost 40 pounds and six pant sizes since last July!
“I started at a size 24 and am down to an 18. I swim every morning at the YMCA. My goal is three miles a week, I am trying to get to 100 miles in the lap league and am currently at 51 miles. I do at least 44 laps in the morning before work. After work, at least three times a week, I go to the Y gym and do cardio, a minimum 30 minutes on the treadmill and then I do weights, broken up by muscle groups.”
Casey credits the YMCA for this change in her lifestyle.
“The YMCA has changed my life by helping me get back on track and healthy. I don't feel judged and every member and staff are always so helpful. I don't feel like I am coming to a gym where no one cares if you are there or not. I feel like I am coming to a safe place where I truly feel valued and not just another membership. I would recommend the YMCA to others because they have everything you need to get healthy. The only thing anyone would have to provide is the willingness to show up. The staff will help guide you to what programs work best for you,” continued Casey, 45, who is a sales support specialist.
“My drive will not diminish ever! I am so grateful to the YMCA, without them I would probably still be sitting at home, or in bed not caring about my health. Having staff that care, I not only don't want to disappoint myself, but I don't want to disappoint them. I look forward to seeing the morning smiles from Mary (Bower) at the front desk. As a whole, the YMCA gives me purpose, and I am forever grateful for that.”
