When people come into the YMCA and start a wellness program on their own, with lack of guidance, they are already at a disadvantage. Similar to a great financial planner who can help you reach your financial goals, a YMCA fitness class instructor, wellness coach or personal trainer can help you achieve your wellness goals in a more effective and efficient manner.
Just like there is no get-rich-quick scheme, skipping steps in a wellness plan will not lead to better health faster. Here are several reasons why listening to the advice of a Fond du Lac Family YMCA wellness professional will help you achieve your goals:
• Accountability. They hold you accountable; as they help you form good habits.
• Education. You will learn something factual and important to help you achieve your overall goals.
• Goal Setting. They will help you set realistic goals and they also can help you with specific goals, such as training for an event.
• Injury Prevention. They are there to help you with perfect form so you can reduce the risk of injury while working out, as
well as give you peace of mind.
• Tailored to your needs. They can help you with your unique requirements and tailor the workout to meet those needs.
• Schedule. They fit into your schedule, when you are available to commit.
In the end you should be excited that you walked into the Y to make healthier choices in life. The only question is how you can connect with the right professionally trained staff to meet your needs, to guarantee you meet your expectations. So come on in the Y, take a tour, and see how we can start you on a path to greater fitness and better health.
Yours in Service,
