Meet Pancho Briseno

My name is Francisco (AKA Pancho). I have worked for the Y since 2007 and was given the opportunity to teach a group exercise class and assists members in our Fitness Center.

The YMCA has made a positive impact in my life and helped me both physically and mentally. I have always had a drive for fitness and health and the Y has meet all my expectations when it comes down to having the necessary equipment.

I have always struggled with my weight and the challenges to keep it off so I can relate to those that are new to the gym world. I know very well my overall health wouldn’t be what is today if it wasn’t for the YMCA and it’s wonderful staff.

I’m 45 years old and proud to say I am currently squatting 405lbs. I believe that age is just a number that shouldn’t limit our possibilities!
