When it comes to losing weight and fighting these diseases, many don’t realize that seemingly difficult behaviors such as eating healthy and exercising regularly can be made easier and attainable through small changes to their everyday lives.  There are hundreds of small steps that Americans can incorporate within their busy lifestyles to begin moving themselves and their families toward health.

The Obesity Wellness Network (O.W.N.) at Renaissance Pointe YMCA is free to low-income obese individuals. This program provides a free one-year membership that requires participants to attend quarterly sessions and weekly Y participation. If you need help, the Y is here! There is currently a waiting list for this program and opportunity is served on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you are clinically obese and need help, contact Alicia O’Neal at (260) 755-4889.
