You’ve seen the ultimate make-overs, you’ve watched The Biggest Loser, and everyone has a “miracle diet”. But now we’re going to change the lives of 25 lucky individuals! The YMCA is selecting 25 people who live or work in Chittenden County who might be first time exercisers, or are looking to make a dramatic physical and lifestyle change. Candidates are stopping by the Winooski facility for a fitness assessment between from April 28th through May 2nd between 11 and 5. Here’s what the participants of this program will receive: an eight week fitness program at the Winooski facility, assistance from a personal trainer, and a “get fit survival kit” filled with goodies from Subway, University Mall, Mills and Greer Sports Headquarters, Eating Well magazine, Orbit Hair Design, and MVP Health Plan. All the participants will be eligible to win the grand prize Mountain Bike from Earl's Cyclery & Fitness or second prize, a spa day at Oasis Day Spa. You don't have to be one of the 25 selected to get healthier! Challenge yourself with the help of our downloadable tools for success: Click here to download the Fitness Log.

YMCA Partners With Vtrim™ The YMCA has partnered with the University of Vermont’s Vtrim™ Weight Management Program in order to bring you a research-based behavioral weight loss program conveniently located at the new Winooski branch. Learn how to succeed at weight management with the expert and peer to peer group support Vtrim™ provides over the course of 24 weekly meetings. The “what” to do for weight loss is clear, eat less and move more. Vtrim™ teaches you the “hows” of making this happen consistently in your life. This 6 month class begins Wednesday, May 14th from 7:00-8:00 pm. Learn more about Vtrim™ and sign up today at uvm.edu/vtrim. The YMCA will waive the $50 membership joining fee to encourage people to make this natural partnership for effective weight management work for you.
