Topics include nutrition plans, exercise routines, general wellness and equipment orientation. A health coach can also help you find groups and classes you might enjoy. The program includes 10 weeks of support and you earn up to 2500 Y Rewards for participation.

Y Diabetes Prevention Program

It is estimated that 1 in 3 of us will be diagnosed with diabetes. Although that number is intimidating, the YMCA's diabetes prevention program offers hope. For those who are at risk for developing diabetes this program has proven results to stop this deadly disease in its tracks. If you’ve been diagnosed as pre-diabetic or know someone who has, please consider this program.
