DON’T WEIGHT ANOTHER YEAR
WE’LL HELP YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO A NEW YOU

You’re ready for change and looking for some options. Wonderful! At the Y we believe you owe it to yourself to be healthy and happy. We believe even small lifestyle changes can lead to great results and the community you’ll find at the Y can be a powerful force in helping you achieve those results.
Maintaining a favorable weight level is an important part of our overall health and well-being. Research has shown that your health can be greatly improved by a loss of just 5-10 percent of your starting weight. That doesn’t mean you have to stop there, but it does mean that an initial goal of losing 5-10 percent of your starting weight is both realistic and valuable. Being lighter leads to more energy which provides momentum to move even more. And when we’re lighter and more active we feel better about ourselves and how we relate to those around us.
We’ll partner with you to develop a solid plan that is realistic, tailored to your needs and that will help you reach your goals. Then we’ll introduce you to others at the Y who will provide support as you take the first steps on your journey.

KEYS TO REACHING AND MAINTAINING A HEALTHY WEIGHT

1  Healthy Mindset & Behavior Change

Research has proven that our beliefs and attitudes are some of the most important determinants of success when it comes to making major lifestyle changes. We’ll help you employ important self-management strategies like stimulus controls, peer support networks, self-monitoring and self-rewards, to overcome barriers that come between you and your goals.

2  Activity

We all know that being more active will help us lose weight and make us healthier but getting started is a big step. We can smooth the process with one-on-one coaching and programs that will allow you to start by taking smaller steps. The Y offers a wide variety of programs, equipment and activities and we’ll help you discover what’s enjoyable for you.

Personalized Wellness Plan

When you join the Y you’ll receive a free initial appointment with a lifestyle coach to form your
personalized wellness plan, as well as a follow-up in a couple of months. You’ll get help focusing on the health and lifestyle changes that you would like to make and setting goals that are clear and
realistic. During that time we’ll get to know you better, learn about your needs and interests and work with you to develop a step-by-step activity plan that’s tailored to you. We’ll walk you through our cardio and strength equipment so that you’re comfortable with it and talk to you about different
programs and classes and introduce you to instructors. If you like, we can even help you find a
personal trainer who is a good fit for your needs.
