Are you looking for motivation and support to become physically active? Choose to Move is a free, 3-month program designed to help you become and stay more physically active in a way that works for you. It is not a traditional fitness class.
Through a one-on-one session with a trained activity coach, youโ€™ll set goals and build a plan that suits your lifestyle and abilities. You choose activities that you will enjoy and are able to do! Youโ€™ll also join 8 group meetings where you can connect with peers, share successes, discuss challenges, and hold each other accountable to your action plans. Plus, each meeting includes information about important health and wellness topics to help keep you on track.
