Coach Approach

THE COACH APPROACH^™

Welcome to the COACH APPROACH, a YMCA exercise support process designed to teach new and returning exercisers how to start and stick with their exercise program.

At no additional cost to you, the YMCA will pair you with a personal wellness coach. With the help of your wellness coach you will learn how to:

•  Kick the inactivity habit
•  Build your success as an exerciser
•  Commit to a manageable program
•  Shape your workouts around the activities you prefer
•  Measure the effect of exercise on mood, stress and energy levels
•  Track your progress through FitLinxx (see below)
•  Get one-on-one coaching without the personal training costs
•  AND, so much more…

See the Welcome Center staff for more information and to make your appointment!
