About the Program
The YMCA developed Healthy Lifestyles in collaboration with the Stanford Prevention Research Center. For more than thirty years, Stanford has been developing, testing, and refining a Six-Step Method for Behavioral Change - a scientifically-tested method found to be effective in facilitating lifelong behavior change related to health, physical activity, and nutrition.
In a group setting, a trained lifestyle coach helps participants adapt their lifestyles by teaching them about healthy eating, physical activity, overcoming barriers, staying motivated, and building support networks over the course of 22 one-hour sessions.
Ongoing Support
The program begins with a health and lifestyle assessment. From there you will have one-on-one time with a coach and participate in weekly group sessions. During the 22 meetings, you will set short and long-term goals, identify barriers to healthy living, and track your progress.
