NEW "MOVE IT AND LOSE IT" COACHING PROGRAM LAUNCHES AT THE WESTFIELD AREA Y

The Westfield Area Y is pleased to announce “Move It and Lose It,” an 8-week coaching program designed to motivate participants to success through teamwork.

Participants will pick and join a team of new or experienced exercisers who are striving to lose their first 20 pounds or improve their overall wellness. Each team has weekly coaching sessions and each team member establishes personal measurable goals with the team coach. Based on the individual goals, coaches will help track things such as: weight loss (or gain), duration (or amount) of exercise and food tracking. Personal and team “commitment points” will be awarded throughout the competition. Bring a friend and move it or lose it together!

A Westfield Area Y facility or on-the-way membership is required. A suggested $40 tax-deductible contribution for the program will benefit the Annual Support Campaign for strong kids, families and communities. Registration is required by April 24th at the Welcome Center of the Main Y facility. Please contact Lynne Applebaum at (908) 233-2700 x239 or email lapplebaum@westfieldynj.org with questions.
