Fall Fitness Programs Get Adults Back to the Gym

Pearce Community Center will offer Challenge for Change, September 11 through November 2, meeting twice each week for eight weeks.

Participants will change the way they think about exercise, fitness, and nutrition to overcome obstacles that prevent them from meeting their fitness goals in order to make long lasting changes to their routines for better health. Weigh-ins will be conducted and inches lost will be tracked; however, participants will come to understand that these are a byproduct of hard work. Workouts will be designed to improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness to improve everyday life. 

Two training sessions are available: Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Participates will be required to attend an informational meeting. Choose the meeting on September 5 or 7, both starting at 6:00 p.m.

The cost of the program is $225 for Pearce Foundation members; $300 for Pearce members; and $375 for non-members.

Food Choices Matter, a new nutrition class, is available to add on to Challenge for Change. To get the best results, this add-on class allows participants to pair Challenge for Change with a solid nutrition plan that will help them customize the diet plan that is right for them, provide accountability, and develop specific eating habits that will help them break through to their goals. The nutrition add on class will be taught by Megan O’Reilly, AFPA certified nutritionist and wellness consultant. Megan will bring her advanced education, multiple certifications, and years of experience to the class.

As an add-on class to Challenge for Change, Food Choices Matter will meet on September 18 for one hour from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., and then again for 30 minutes on September 27, October 4, 11, and 18 from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.   

 

The cost to add on Food Choices Matter is $56.25 for Foundation members; $75 for Pearce members; and $93.75 for non-members.
