MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Roy Barrett

Roy seems to have found the fountain of youth at the Y. The 90 year old is a regular at the facility and still plays tennis two or three times a week. Roy contributes his active lifestyle to keeping him young.

Roy was a member of the Traverse City YMCA for 20 years. He moved to Monroe three years ago and wanted to continue to stay healthy by joining “the local Y”. “I enjoy coming to the Y because of the availability of facilities and equipment as well as the wonderful staff.” When it comes to using exercise programs, Roy advises, ”Use them! Exercise plans and machines only work if you make them work.”

Besides exercising and playing tennis, Roy also enjoys golfing, hunting and sailing. During the winter months he is indoors more spending time with his family and reading a good book.
