Get Fit Offers Lifestyle Workshops for Families - September 19, 2007
NORTH ADAMS - Northern Berkshire families have the opportunity to take part in a free nutrition and fitness program that teaches families how to be healthy for life.
"Families Making Changes" is a free program offered by the Get Fit Program of the Reach Community Health Foundation. It is a six-week program with workshops on fitness, nutrition and strategies for permanent lifestyle change. The instructors work with each family to develop an individualized plan.
Classes begin on Tuesday, Oct. 2 and run through Tuesday, Nov. 6. The classes will be held in the children’s section of the North Adams Public Library from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Instructors will include a Reach fitness specialist and registered dietitians from North Adams Regional Hospital.
"We strongly encourage parents who are interested in this program to talk to their kids about it," said Liz Grees, Get Fit Program co-manager. "FMC has designed special activities to keep the kids invested in the program as well as the parents."
The program teaches strategies for time management, building an exercise program for the whole family and how to prepare healthy meals and snacks and much more.
"Families Making Changes" is made possible by a grant from the James and Robert Hardman Fund for North Adams of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. To register for the program, call Pat Lescarbeau at 413-664-5326.
The Get Fit Program promotes improved nutrition and fitness in the community. The Reach Community Health Foundation is a nonprofit subsidiary of Northern Berkshire Healthcare and is dedicated to improving the health of the Northern Berkshire community. In addition to Get Fit, Reach runs programs in breast cancer, caregiver support, tobacco cessation, dental health, children’s health and men’s health.
