HEALTHY LIVING
HEALTH & FITNESS:
HELP LOWERING BMI TO HEALTHY LEVELS
Our Promoting Achievable Change program is designed for youth ages 7–14, together with a parent/guardian. Promoting Achievable Change (PAC) meets once a week for 1 hour and is facilitated by a trained and experienced staff member. Through nutrition and physical activity education, our goal is to help youth diagnosed with a high BMI and their families create sustainable behavior change.
This parent-child program helps improve nutrition and increase physical activity, especially those who are living with health issues. The Hockomock Area YMCA employs a team of certified fitness and nutrition professionals who provide individualized instruction, guidance, and motivation to the participants.
Call 508-772-1310 or CONTACT US to participate.
“I found the PAC program and the opportunity to join the Hockomock Area YMCA to be life-changing!
I am hoping that my daughter and I have instilled ourselves with a healthy way of life that will continue. We now read nutrition labels, keep portions to a single serving, and know that fiber means full. We have meaningful and lasting results!”
Wendy, PAC Mom
How PAC WORKS
This supportive, small group one-hour class facilitated by a trained and experienced staff member employs approaches that help intervene and stop the downward, often out-of-control cycles that cause unhealthy lifestyles. Included in this program is a no charge twelve-week membership for the participant and his/her family. Our goal is to help families increase daily physical activity by providing supportive and educational tools to change current behavior, creating progress toward a healthier lifestyle. We help families in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle.
