A Wise (Y's) Path - Our Philosophy
In all of our Wellness programs, the South County Family YMCA offers high quality, highly reputable programming to our members with special medical needs and weight management concerns. In addition to health enhancement and prevention, ourprograms offer rehabilitation, pain management and a hopeful decrease of further progression of diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease. The goals of our weight loss program are not only significant reduction of body fat, but also providing education and support to ensure success for a lifetime.
The Y's P.A.T.H. programs take an individual approach to our members’ needs. Each program participant receives a personal program created by our staff exercise physiologists and dietitians that considers individual goals, physical limitations, physician recommendations and personal preferences.
Participants undergo thorough physical and behavioral assessments prior to beginning a program so that both our staff and the participant understand the parameters of the program design. Individuals meet on-on-one with their exercise physiologist and dietitian as well as attend group fitness classes and nutrition counseling sessions. Lectures, field trips and support meetings are important parts of our programs providing education and support.
People with debilitating conditions and weight issues do not have to be a victim of their bodies. Our Y's P.A.T.H. programs provide sound exercise, diet and mind/body techniques to teach empowerment and personal control leading to a healthy, happy, less painful life.
