Get Moving At The Pottstown YMCA

From :

The Freedom Valley YMCA at Pottstown is pleased to announce the launch of the “Get Moving at the Pottstown YMCA” healthy living and weight loss program in partnership with the Pottstown Health & Wellness Foundation and in support of LOSE FOR LIFE participants in the Pottstown region. 

“Get Moving at the Pottstown YMCA” was developed by the YMCA to support the Relay For Life of Pottstown’s LOSE FOR LIFE initiative, an event-wide fund-raising program focused on healthy living and weight loss. “Get Moving” will assist LOSE FOR LIFE participants in reaching their healthy living and weight loss goals through the end of May. Each month, four sessions are offered at the Pottstown YMCA with a focus on exercise (Yoga, Body Toning, Core Training, Walking, Cycling) and nutrition (Healthy Cooking, Healthy Choices).  Additionally, the Montgomery County Health Department has recently joined “Get Moving” and the American Cancer Society to offer classes on cancer prevention including the role that diet has to play.

This program was made possible through a grant from the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation.

The Pottstown YMCA exists to improve the quality of life in our community by offering programs, services and facilities that promote strong families, good health, fitness, wellness, community services, child and adult development and equality for all.  We encourage a sensitivity to the physical, mental and spiritual enhancement of all persons regardless of age, sex, race, religious affiliation or economic status.
