Y WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE

This program is designed to help members lose weight, tone and build muscles, learn about nutrition and lead an overall healthier lifestyle. Challenge participants meet in groups of 4-6 three times a week for an hour long workout session. Participants benefit from individual instruction from the personal trainer and the team camaraderie of small group training.
 
Our program has been featured in the news including the Post-Dispatch. Meet some of our members who shared their success stories.
