Healthy Start Program

My husband and I felt we needed to make big changes in our health and fitness routine. I had recently retired and finally had the time in my life to explore more fitness options. We decided to give the JCC a try after having been away for over four years, and signed up for the Healthy Start program. After my first meeting with my coach, I set goals and had a clear direction as to what to do to get started again. As the weeks have passed I have found new joy and confidence in my workouts, whether in trying out different group classes or in the gym using the equipment. I love the feeling of being part of the total community here. It makes me smile.

I have been very happy with the Healthy Start program. For me, it was just the right amount of “push” (not too little or too much) to get me motivated. I actually enjoy going there and doing my routine, which has incrementally increased. I feel strong and actually see arm muscles. My endurance has also greatly improved. I think seeing these results alone is a significant motivator for me, both physically and mentally. I also appreciate the staff providing a clean, comfortable environment.

I have been trying out different equipment and interval training. One of my favorites is stretching it all out with the TRX. It’s a good relaxing ending for me.

Well, you have a very happy satisfied customer.  I feel I am going strong and have no intentions of stopping.

I am very impressed with the healthy start program and the JCC app makes signing up for classes so easy. Knowing that the results of this program will be measurable in an 8-week program is a motivating incentive for me. I’m really enjoying so many of the classes offered and have several classes I really look forward to now. Hopefully, I will see a small change in muscle mass at the end of this program, but for now, I’m simply enjoying the classes.
