Introducing GET STARTED!

The Glens Falls Family YMCA will introduce an innovative new program, GET STARTED, to its members beginning August 2nd. GET STARTED is a FREE, year-long program, designed to help participants reach their wellness goals.

GET STARTED begins with a few simple components. First, a health & wellness assessment is performed. The assessment consists of measuring weight, body composition and aerobic capacity. Once an assessment is complete, a wellness coach will register the participant into the program for a 1-year period. The program will be free flowing and wellness coaches will be instructing guided exercises in the YMCA Wellness Center throughout the day. All fitness levels will be able to perform these guided exercises that are based around resistance training with functional (core) movements. Functional movements are exercises that transfer over to an overall improvement in everyday activities and produce results in weight loss, toning, core strength, flexibility (ROM), and body awareness.

Once the program is underway, a nutritional component will be added and scheduled reassessments will be available for members to track their progress. To register for the program or for more information regarding this program contact Will Groff, Wellness Director at 793.3878.
