Communities are encouraged to participate in a new 10-week program called Weigh to Change
As September approaches, we often anticipate the beginning of new school year and plan for a new activity schedule. This is the perfect time to re-evaluate food and exercise habits and adopt healthier ones – all in a conscious effort to live healthier and happier.
Healthy lifestyles are achieved through the nurturing of mind, body and spirit, well-being and fitness. At the Hockomock Area YMCA, healthy lifestyles are more than just working out. In addition to fitness facilities, the Hockomock Y provides educational programs to promote good health and support physical, intellectual and spiritual strength.
The Hockomock Area YMCA is excited to announce that all 3 of its branches will now offer a 10-week weight loss program called Weigh to Change following the success of our Foxboro spring program where 31 members lost a total of 267 pounds and 318.5 inches.
