“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.”
