Health club coordinator Shelley Hall said the YMCA team felt proud of becoming a finalist and thanked former manager David for applying for the award.
“It feels great to know that we are regarded as being up there with other quality businesses, and it’s exciting that a not-for-profit organisation that helps people globally can also be recognised as a contender for such a great award,” she said.
Hall said the centre was always interested in offering a new classes to keep with demand and scope from members.
“The YMCA’s goal for 2019 is all around creating a community hub in our centre, offering more products and services, attracting a wider network of people who can come together, enjoy any of the activities we have to offer here and maybe sit and have a coffee after,” she said.
