DIABETES PREVENTION

This 12-month program helps overweight adults at risk for type 2 diabetes reduce their risk of developing the disease by taking steps to improve their overall health and well-being. Participants work together in a small group facilitated by a trained Y Lifestyle Coach to achieve the program goals of reducing individual weight by 5-7 percent and building up to 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week.

The $600 program fee includes a free Y membership! Waiting lists are forming for new cohorts starting in Fall 2024 and Winter 2025. Classes are offered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

To find out more about the program, contact Rutchell at rcharleus@ymcasc.org.
