🌟 Staff Spotlight: Meet Gail Metcalf!

What started as a way to spend quality time with her grandchild at the Stillwater YMCA - YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City turned into a passion for helping others live healthier, more connected lives.

For the past eight years, Gail has served as a SilverSneakers instructor, helping older adults build strength, improve their well-being and stay socially connected. But her classes offer more than just exercise—they create a welcoming community where friendships are formed, encouragement is shared, and everyone feels like they belong.

“Our YMCA SilverSneakers class is welcoming, supportive, and full of positive energy,” Gail shared.

One of Gail’s greatest joys is hearing from participants whose commitment to fitness has led to noticeable improvements in their health and quality of life. Through her positive energy, dedication, and genuine care for others, she helps members discover that staying active can be both rewarding and fun.

Yesterday, our YMCAs participated in the national YMCA Campfire Across America. There was something special about knowing that while we gathered around our campfire, YMCAs across the country were doing the very same thing.

Together, we joined a nationwide moment of connection, reflection, and belonging, proving that no matter where we are, the Y brings people together. Thank you to everyone who shared this experience with us and helped make yesterday one to remember.
