Corporate Wellness

Diabetes is a costly physical health condition for employers in both direct (such as hospitalizations, medical and outpatient care) and indirect costs (such as absenteeism, lost productivity at work, and short-term disability). As a leading voice dedicated to improving the nation’s health, the Y has become increasingly focused on confronting preventable chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes. Our Diabetes Prevention Program is based on the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program led by the National Institutes of Health and supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Diabetes Prevention Program has shown that with lifestyle changes and modest weight reduction, a person with pre-diabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by 58%. Offering the Diabetes Prevention Program to employees as part of your wellness program helps employees take the important first step toward making the changes they need to prevent this chronic disease. The Diabetes Prevention Program is offered at no cost to participants.

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is an evidence-based physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their health.

By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is helping people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is offered at no cost to participants.

Our certified personal trainers are dedicated to helping your employees achieve their specific physical activity and fitness goals. They’ll design a personalized fitness program specifically for your employee and their fitness needs.

Small -group training combines the energy and inspiration of group exercise with the individualized attention of personal training. Small group size (3-5 employees per group) ensures that our personal trainers can provide a customized workout. Whether employees are looking to lose weight, tone up, run a 5K or just feel better, small group training will help drive results.

During these presentations, our experts from the Y will educate your employees on a variety of topics through interactive, educational talks. Our topics cover all aspects of well-being including nutrition, stress, physical fitness, disease prevention, meal planning, and more. Have a particular topic in mind? Let us know, and if we don’t already offer it, we’ll work with you to make sure you get the information you’re looking for.

Weight alone is not a clear indication of good health. Utilizing the InBody, Y fitness staff will conduct a 2-minute, non-invasive analysis that will tell your employees what they’re made of. They’ll receive a printed report of their data including body fat, lean mass and water, basal metabolic rate, and more. This quick, convenient test is an easy way to track progress and understand changes in total body composition beyond the number on the scale.

From high-intensity interval training to yoga, our team will help select a class that fits the interests and fitness levels of your employees. Remove the time barrier and make exercise convenient for your employees through onsite group exercise classes. Short on space? We’ll run a class just for your employees at the Y.

Engage and motivate employees with fun challenges that will keep your employees working toward their goals. Wellness challenges can emphasize one or multiple aspects of health including fitness, nutrition, stress, mindfulness, sleep, body composition changes, or any other aspects of well-being. The Y can run and facilitate the challenge or can provide the company with information to facilitate the challenge internally.

Use the variety of spaces and amenities at the Y to facilitate meetings, team-building events and activities, or an after-hours event for employees and their families. Our buildings include pools, gyms, pickleball courts, bounce houses, meeting rooms, and more.
