Bristol Family YMCA is on the Move as a part of:

 YMCA Activate America

 

  • Research shows that making two small daily changes – taking 2,000 more steps (the equivalent of about one mile) and eating only 100 fewer calories – can prevent the average annual weight gain of one to two pounds.
  • One way to achieve the additional 2,000 steps per day is by incorporating physical activity into daily routines.  We want to ensure that children and families in our community can walk or bike where they live, work, learn and play.

Project Activate Bristol is a health and physical education program aimed at activating, motivating and educating youth and their parents on practical ways to fight the growing epidemic levels of Type 2 diabetes and obesity in our community.

 

Children who are identified as high risk candidates for potentially developing Type 2 diabetes will have an opportunity to enter a support program at the YMCA. Each participant will have up to a 1-year family membership to the YMCA along with fitness classes and personal training for each child. Acti-Peds will be distributed to participants to help track personal physical activity. Educational classes on nutrition and meal planning, diabetes seminars, and blood sugar monitoring will be provided by Wellmont Diabetes Treatment Center.

 

For more information about Activate Bristol and how you can participate as a candidate or a volunteerl, please contact John Mack at 423-968-3133 or johnmymca@btes.tv.

Innovative—Creative –Fabulous—Interactive

That’s what we are hearing about the Kid’s Gym. It puts the fun back into fitness.  Fitness is Child’s Play with Sportwall.  Sportwall is a multi-sensory entertainment activity wall that makes exercise into an interactive adventure.  With so many ways to play you have to stop by to see Sportwall in action.  Kid’s Gym includes a 40 foot climbing wall, Super Bouncer, 8 foot basketball goals, 8 pieces of KidzPower Strength Training Equipment, Sportwall. and the Plasma Cars.
