H.I.P. Kids (ages 8 & up)
For boys and girls who need help adopting a healthier lifestyle
H.I.P Kids is a program for children who are at risk of becoming, or who are, overweight or obese. Children and their parents meet and learn from professionals with degrees in Exercise Science and Nutrition to identify the environmental, behavioral, dietary and physical activity factors that contribute to a child’s overall health. The H.I.P. Kids Program approach supports the whole family, through education, to help prevent or reduce the onset of diseases associated with a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet choices.   LY

Get Fit/ Stay Fit
(12-Week Program)
This program is intended for members looking for an exercise plan that progresses at a much slower pace than the Wellness Center Orientation. Members benefiting most from the Get Fit/ Stay Fit program are those who feel intimidated by a wellness center environment, are apprehensive about using the exercise equipment, or are new to exercise.   LY & RY

You will meet with a Wellness Coach for 3 appointments:
» Appointment 1 – you will discuss any barriers to exercise and the strategies you will implement to overcome those barriers. You will be introduced to our cardiovascular equipment, such as the treadmill, bike, and elliptical. Flexibility exercises will also be demonstrated. You will only do cardiovascular exercise and stretching for the first 3 weeks of the program.
» Appointment 2 – you will be shown some of the strength training machines. For the next 4 weeks, your workout routine will involve cardiovascular exercise, stretching, along with some of the strength training machines.
» Appointment 3 – you will be shown additional strength training machines that will complete your overall exercise plan.
