OPPORTUNITIES
Fitness
Assessment/Body Composition Assessment
A fitness assessment
is a series of tests that helps your trainer determine your physical fitness
level and aids in developing your personalized program. The results can
identify your strengths and weaknesses in relation to your physical fitness and
help in setting attainable fitness goals. Whether working on your own or with a
trainer, a fitness assessment is a valuable tool used to establish baseline
measurements and can be used to monitor your performance and assess your
progress throughout your exercise training. A body composition assessment can
be done in conjunction with a fitness assessment or on its own and includes
weight, body fat percentage and measurements. If you are trying to change your
body composition, this assessment will give you multiple ways to measure your
success. To schedule an assessment, contact Lauren Almdale at ext. 2137.
Personal Training
Personal training is for you, whether you are looking to
begin an exercise program but are not sure where to start, or you are an avid
exerciser and are looking to take your workout to the next level. Lauren will
first meet with you to determine your needs and will create an individualized
program. The two of you will then meet in an on-going one-on-one setting, where
Lauren will walk you through your program and continue to check in on your
progress, making changes as needed. For more information and to schedule an
appointment, contact Lauren at ext. 2137.
Wellness Coaching
Wellness coaching is a
time for one-on-one conversation with on-site coach, Lauren Almdale. Whether
you need tips for making changes to improve your health and wellness, or you
are just looking for a source of accountability, Lauren can help you to set
goals and work toward them. Meet once or on an on-going basis, as needed.
Wellness topics include, but are not limited to smoking cessation, stress
management, nutrition, physical activity, weight management and chronic disease
prevention/management. For an appointment, contact Lauren at ext. 2137.

Monthly Wellness Challenges

reducing your stress, or fitting more physical activity into your routine, the
hope is that by committing for 30 days, you can start to create wellness habits
that can last for a lifetime.

Wellness Screening

each fall, you and your spouse have the opportunity to go through a short,
simple screening process to learn more about your health and what changes you
can make to improve it.
YMCA
Diabetes Prevention Program
If you and/or your
spouse are at risk for type 2 diabetes, the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program
provides a supportive environment where you can work with others in a small
group setting to learn how to adopt healthy habits to reduce your chances of
developing the disease. The program, which is led by a trained Lifestyle Coach
in a classroom setting, is delivered over a 12-month period, beginning with 16
weekly sessions followed by monthly maintenance. You will learn strategies for
eating healthier, increasing your physical activity and making other changes
that will improve your overall health and well-being. National Institutes of
Health research has proven that programs like the YMCA's Diabetes Prevention
Program can reduce the number of cases of type 2 diabetes by almost 60%. For
more information and to see if you qualify, contact Lauren Almdale at ext.
2137.
