YMCA’S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM Diabetes is a costly physical health condition for employers in both direct (such as hospitalizations, medical and outpatient care) and indirect costs (such as absenteeism, lost productivity at work, and short-term disability). As a leading voice dedicated to improving the nation’s health, the Y has become increasingly focused on confronting preventable chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes. The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program is based on the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program has shown that with lifestyle changes and modest weight reduction, a person with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by 58%. The year-long program strives to help participants achieve two primary goals: • Reduce body weight by 7% • Increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week Offering the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program to employees as part of your wellness program helps employees take the important first step toward making the changes they need to prevent this chronic disease. BLOOD PRESSURE SELF-MONITORING The simple process of checking and recording your blood pressure at least twice a month over a period of four months has been shown to lower blood pressure in some people with hypertension. Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring is an evidence-based program that features personalized support for developing a blood pressure self-monitoring routine, tips for maintaining cardiovascular health and nutrition education. Employees will work with trained Healthy Heart Ambassadors to reduce their blood pressure by identifying patterns and trends over time.

YMCA’S WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM Designed to help employees seeking a healthier weight achieve their goals by making small changes to their daily behaviors and forming sustainable healthy habits. Employees joining the program should be ready to commit to daily food and physical activity tracking, as well as developing self-designed action plans. The 12-week program helps employees build skills for successful lifestyle changes, as opposed to advocating any specific or restrictive short-term solution. Topics covered during the program include balanced eating, physical activity, stress and sleep, positive psychology, goal setting, and sustainability. PERSONAL TRAINING Our certified personal trainers are dedicated to helping your employees achieve their specific physical activity and fitness goals. They’ll design a personalized fitness program specifically for your employee and their fitness needs. Whatever their goal, our certified personal trainers will provide workout plans, coaching, and motivation to help them succeed. SMALL GROUP TRAINING Small Group Training combines the energy and inspiration of group exercise with the individualized attention of personal training. Small group size (3-8) employees per group) ensures that our personal trainers can provide a customized workout. Whether employees are looking to lose weight, tone up, run a 5K or just feel better, small group training will help drive results. NUTRITION COACHING Better nutrition means better health. Our registered dietitians will work with your employees to clear up misinformation and build healthy eating habits. They’ll develop individualized solutions by taking a personal approach based on food preferences, lifestyle demands, and nutritional needs.

WELLNESS PRESENTATIONS Our experts at the Y will educate your employees on a variety of topics through interactive, educational talks. Our topics cover all aspects of well-being including nutrition, stress, physical fitness, disease prevention, meal planning, and more. Have a particular topic in mind? Let us know, and if we don’t already offer it, we’ll work with you to make sure you get the information you’re looking for. HEALTHY LIVING WORKSHOPS These engaging sessions are full of hands-on learning. Focus areas include team building, mindfulness, gardening, and physical activity. Your employees will learn skills to improve well-being though active participation. COOKING DEMONSTRATIONS Healthy meals can be quick, convenient, and fun. These interactive demonstrations show how to prepare simple meals that taste great and most importantly, are good for you and your family. Our food and nutrition experts will prepare a dish from start to finish, educating you on the foods’ health benefits and giving easy preparation tips along the way. Employees will enjoy a sample of the prepared dishes and receive the recipes to take home. Bring the kitchen to your workplace or join us in our kitchen at the Gallatin Valley YMCA Wellness Center. NUTRITION WORKSHOPS During this mini cooking demonstration, employees will learn nutrition tips and healthy hacks to incorporate into their daily routine. The hands-on workshop provides employees the opportunity to prepare their own tasty samples and leave with new ideas and recipes to use at home.

BODY COMPOSITION TESTING Weight alone is not a clear indication of good health. Utilizing the InBody, Y fitness staff will conduct a 2-minute, non-invasive analysis that will tell your employees what they’re made of. They’ll receive a printed report of their data including body fat, lean mass and water, basal metabolic rate, and more. This quick, convenient test is an easy way to track progress and understand changes in total body composition beyond the number on the scale. FITNESS ASSESSMENTS Y fitness staff will assess muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility. Using fitness testing in conjunction with a wellness challenge or physical activity programming will allow your employees to measure and track their progress. GROUP EXERCISE From boot camp to yoga, our team will help select a class that fits the interests and fitness levels of your employees. Remove the ‘time’ barrier and make exercise convenient for your employees through onsite group exercise classes. Short on space? We’ll run a class just for your employees at the Y. WELLNESS CHALLENGES Engage and motivate employees with fun challenges that will keep your employees working towards their goals. Wellness Challenges can emphasize one or multiple aspects of health including fitness, nutrition, stress, mindfulness, sleep, body composition changes, or any other aspect of well-being.
