The Valley Shore YMCA has announced that Donna Scott of Old Lyme, owner of the Best of the Shoreline’s Readers Poll IFoundFitness located in Deep River, will join the staff team of the Valley Shore YMCA at the end of August as a Wellness Coordinator. Earlier in the summer, Scott had decided to close her popular fitness studio and started thinking about the next chapter of her life.
“When I looked at partnerships, there were certain criteria that had to be met;” Scott noted. “A non-competitive, environment where my members would fit in and feel comfortable, the ability to continue and strengthen great programs like The Slim Down, programs for seniors, and the Couch to 5k program. I want to be part of an organization that believes in giving back and supporting its members.”
“We are very excited to have Donna join our staff team,” comments Chris Pallatto, Executive Director of the Valley Shore Y, adding, “She has a tremendous reputation and created a very strong following with her professionalism, expertise, and enthusiasm. She will be a great addition to our staff team.”
In her new role at the Y, Scott will be in charge of personal training, the Y’s Wellness Center, active older adult initiatives as well as running the ever popular Slim Down challenges throughout the year.
