Healthy Habits and Expert Support, our healthy weight loss program, is back. We know that everyone’s weight loss journey is different and we know that it certainly is not easy. Our team of registered dietitians and certified personal trainers are here to help. The Y’s approach to achieving a healthy weight offers safe, effective and sustainable methods. There are no prescribed diets, restrictive approaches or instant cures — just expert guidance and the tools you need to eat healthier and increase your activity level. We will provide the support to develop
Long-term healthy habits. Join this 12-week program on Saturdays at 8:30 a.m., March 18 – June 17. Participants meet weekly for 90 minutes, which includes 45 minutes with a registered dietitian and a 45-minute workout.
“We are so excited to bring this program back,” said Laurie-Sue Rodrigues, Y health and wellness director. “It has proven effective for so many of our members who have participated in the 12-week session. Our team of health and wellness professionals will provide all the right tools and support, both nutritionally and in terms of exercise, that you will need to stay on track and successfully reach your goals.”
