Your Holistic Health Journey Begins Here
At The Granite YMCA, your health and well-being are our top priorities. We pride ourselves on being leaders in preventative healthcare, offering a range of evidence-based programs tailored to address specific health concerns.
- Certified Instructors and Community Support: When you step through our doors, you’re not just joining a gym but becoming an integral part of a supportive, motivating community. Our certified instructors are more than trainers; they are your wellness journey partners.
- Comprehensive Diabetes Programs: Are you at risk for Type 2 diabetes? If so, it’s essential to know that simple awareness and lifestyle changes can reduce your risk of developing the condition by up to 58%. Our Diabetes Prevention and Management Programs are your support system. Focusing on boosting physical activity, reducing body weight, and managing A1C levels, these programs help you lead a healthier, happier life.
- Blood Pressure Management: A healthy heart starts with well-managed blood pressure. Our Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program guides you to better blood pressure management. We’ll empower you with the knowledge and support you need to take control of your cardiovascular well-being.
- Mood Lifters: Mental Wellness for All: Mental wellness is as vital as physical health but not always prioritized as such. The Granite YMCA’s Mood Lifters program is built around evidence-based strategies proven to help you combat stress, depression, and anxiety. You’re not alone; we’re here to help you acquire the tools you need to improve your quality of life and boost positivity while fostering personal growth and resilience skills. Participate in supportive group meetings facilitated by peer leaders, learning to use scientifically validated strategies to create a more positive outlook while learning to cope with a wide range of common problems like stress, chronic sadness, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.
- Empowering People with Disabilities: Everyone deserves the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Our “Living Well in the Community” program was specially designed for individuals with disabilities. Over ten weeks, you’ll learn to set and work on personal goals while benefiting from peer support to unlock new possibilities in your life. This program includes facilitated discussions, fun activities, informative videos, and valuable information.
- Targeted Weight Management Programs: Are you struggling with weight management? We offer programs for children, families, and individual adults, all focused on promoting healthy eating and physical activity. Our approach is to guide you toward lasting lifestyle changes that promote sustained health and well-being. Embark on a journey that will empower you to make more informed, healthier choices for your body.
