Y-Weight Loss Challenge

This 12-week program that helps clients to lose weight, tone and build muscles, learn about nutrition, and lead an overall healthier lifestyle.

Meet with one of our personal trainers in a small group setting (minimum 4, maximum 6 participants) three times a week for an hour long workout session. Participants will receive individual instruction from the personal trainer and will also benefit from the team camaraderie of small group training.

Participants will meet with their trainer 3 times a week. We will try to accommodate everyone as much as possible with different meeting times through out the day.

Workouts will take place in the YMCA in the weight room, cardio room, and gymnasium. When the weather gets nicer we may even go outside.

The Y-Weight Loss Challenge combines the best of Personal Training with the best of Group Fitness at an affordable price. Get the one on one instruction you get from a personal trainer with the camaraderie of a group fitness class and watch yourself attain your health and wellness goals.
