Health & Wellness
YMCAs are collectively the largest provider and promoter of health and fitness programs, active in more than 10,000 communities across the country. Locally, the YMCA of South Hampton Roads has been voted the leader in this field. This can be attributed to the YMCA's continued commitment to offering high quality, cutting-edge programs, instruction and equipment.
Y-Change

An experienced, committed and motivated Y-Change Coach will lead you through a 6-week journey toward a healthier lifestyle. Each week you will meet with your coach in a small group setting for a support and educational session, as well as meet two additional times to workout.

You will also keep a journal which includes a food and activity log. The Y-Change program will give you the confidence and knowledge necessary to implement small steps to positively change your lifestyle.

The Y-Change program is free for YMCA members within 90 days of joining ($100 value), so contact your local YMCA to find a start date that fits your schedule.
