Weight Loss Program

Losing weight can be challenging, but we are here to help. The 

YMCA's Healthy Weight Loss Program empowers you to lose 

weight by making small, modest changes and forming healthy 

habits that you can sustain over time. Led by a trained 

facilitator who creates a safe and supportive environment, the 

program meets one hour per week for 12 weeks. We do not 

advocate for specific or restrictive short-term solutions--we 

help you build skills for successful lifestyle changes. From 

reducing your risk of heart disease, strokes and the 

development of some cancers to increasing your energy level, 

strengthening your immune system and even relieving back 

and joint tension, the benefits of maintaining a healthy weight 

are literally life-saving.
