This ten-week program is designed to provide sustainable weight management by establishing healthy behaviors in the areas of nutrition and physical activity. Through this program, participants will experience an enhancement of both their physical and emotional performance, and quality of life.
This program is not a diet, but rather a comprehensive program that emphasizes a sustainable lifestyle approach to weight management by integrating fitness, nutrition and the behavioral aspects of eating. A health educator and exercise specialist facilitate the program.
Components of the Program
- An intake evaluation designed to assess a participant’s readiness for the program and to obtain information used for specific program design.
- Education classes and group discussion that focus on:
- Basic nutrition
- Emotional aspects of eating
- Behavioral change issues such as goal setting, breaking habits, motivation and support.
- Structured physical activity
- Follow-up contacts to provide motivation and support
During the ten-week program, participants meet one time per week: 1-hour for education and group discussion and 1-hour for physical activity at Fitness East. Included in the program fee is a 10-use facility punch card for the Fitness East and the other Recreational Services facilities.
