Are you looking to start your wellness journey with a program that covers all the bases? The YMCA’s new Full Circle Health Program might be just what you need! Designed with a comprehensive approach, this program combines fitness, nutrition, and support to help you meet and maintain your health goals. With seven essential components, Full Circle Health goes beyond workouts, offering a complete package for a balanced, healthier lifestyle.
Here’s a breakdown of how each component of Full Circle Health supports you every step of the way:
1. Specialized Intake
Every journey starts with understanding where you are and where you want to go. Our specialized intake, completed through a smart waiver, gives us insights into your health history, goals, and medical needs. This intake is more than a form—it’s the foundation for creating a customized experience tailored just for you.
2. SMART Goal Setting and Personal Assessment
In your first session, our wellness staff will guide you through a personal assessment that covers body composition, strength, endurance, and flexibility. Together, you’ll establish SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals to help keep you motivated. This assessment is done both at the start and end of the program so you can see and celebrate your progress!
3. Small Group Workouts
Get ready to build strength and connect with others! Small group workouts are held three times a week, focusing on strength training with the support of like-minded peers and our experienced instructors. Small groups keep things personal and make working out more fun, so you feel encouraged and stay on track.
4. Virtual One-on-One Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition is a key part of your success, and we’ve made it easy to access personalized guidance. Caroline Schmalz, our registered dietician, provides individual counseling sessions at both the beginning and end of the program to address your unique dietary needs and challenges. These virtual sessions mean you can meet with Caroline from anywhere, gaining insights into the best choices to fuel your body.
5. Access to WhatsApp
Staying motivated between sessions is easier with support, and that’s where our dedicated WhatsApp group comes in. Here, you can share your meals, workouts, and favorite recipes with other participants. The app serves as a motivational tool, helping you stay connected and inspired daily as you work toward your goals.
6. Virtual Workshops
Throughout the eight-week program, you’ll attend three virtual workshops on nutrition, physical activity, and other relevant topics that arise during the 8-week program. These workshops are a chance to deepen your understanding and learn practical ways to integrate healthy habits into your routine.
7. Weekly Supportive Emails
Kickstart each week with Monday emails that offer tips, encouragement, and insights on everything from exercise techniques to mental wellness. These emails keep you engaged, informed, and motivated as you work toward a healthier you.
