Classes begin on Sept. 25
Hunterdon Medical Center, Hunterdon Pediatric Group and the DeerPath YMCA are offering “Weigh to Go,” a four-week weight management program for children, 7 to 14.
Weigh to Go will be held Wednesdays beginning Sept. 25 through Oct. 16 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
The class will discuss nutrition from 6:30-8 p.m. and an exercise class will be held from 8-8:30 p.m.
The program will meet at the Deer Path Park YMCA, located at 144 Woodschurch Road in Flemington.
Michelle Wright, a registered dietitian at the Center for Nutrition and Diabetes Management, will teach a non-diet approach to weight management with emphasis on making food changes that can be sustained long term.
In addition, a qualified member of the YMCA staff will provide supervision and guidance throughout the strength training and cardiovascular components of the program.
The fee for the program is $95, which includes a free two-month membership to the YMCA.
Preregistration is required and a parent must attend with their child.
To register, call the Center for Nutrition and Diabetes Management at 908-237-6920.
