Friday, January 18, 2013 • 10:03am
The Westfield Area Y will offer a special fitness program geared specifically for anyone who is far from their ideal weight and/or for those who are considering, or have had weight-loss surgery.
The new program, “Exercise for Everyone Plus” will help participants become healthy from the inside out. The class begins on Saturday, February 16th at the Main Y Facility, 220 Clark Street in Westfield from 10:00am-10:45am. The program will run on Saturdays for 8 weeks until April 6th.
Participants can ease into exercise in a comfortable, non-judgmental setting. The class format is fun, low-impact and uses light weights to reduce body fat while increasing cardiovascular fitness, strength and learn muscle mass. Safety of the participants is a top priority and class is led by a Y personal trainer with a certification in exercise for the obese.
Register online or in person at the Main Y facility. For questions or for more information regarding this new bariatric program at the Y, please contact the Westfield Area Y Health and Wellness Director, Jean White at 908-233-2700 x246 or e-mail jwhite@westfieldynj.org.
