Therefore, we provide FREE for you a YMCA Healthy Living Coach. The job of our Coaches is to help you succeed. Whether its helping you to become acclimated with our fitness centers, figure out what classes will work best for you, or just working through how to make a workout routine work in your schedule. They are here to coach and guide you.

You can meet with a Coach as you get started as a new member, or at any time that you need help getting the most from your membership. Our coaches are trained to help with smart goal setting, evaluating readiness, and supporting members toward their goals.

 FREEDOM FROM SMOKING®
Quitting smoking is the most important thing you can do for yourself and your family. This program from the American Lung Association helps you quit smoking for good. Freedom From Smoking®, the leading adult smoking cessation program for over 25 years, shows you how to quit for good in a supportive setting.

You’ll meet with a small group of people so you get personal attention. And because no two smokers are alike, the program helps you create your own quit plan. Having the support of others is important while quitting smoking. The other people in the program know exactly what you’re going through and provide support when you need it the most.  
 
Freedom From Smoking® is taught by an American Lung Association-trained instructor and former smoker.  You can feel good knowing this program is backed by the country's leading lung health organization.
