Meet Moataz, a father of four who drives for a living. Those long, sedentary hours behind the wheel eventually caught up to him and took a toll on his health. Everyday tasks became painful. It got so bad that he needed his wifes help to put on socks. After three years of that, he was determined to make a change. He knew getting in shape was the answer... but, like many, found it difficult to stay motivated. So, Moataz partnered with a Y personal trainer. They listened to his story and goals, and developed a plan to improve his strength and flexibility. After two months Moataz was down 22 pounds, had reduced his muscle pain, and could put on socks without help! Were proud of Moataz, and every member who strives to be their best self.
