A little friendly competition makes moving more fun. 🏓

At the Y, staying active is about more than the workout. It’s about connecting with others, trying something new, and finding ways to move that feel good for you.

However you choose to get moving, there’s a place for you here!

We’re proud to see our very own Nora featured in the Small Steps for Big Changes Coach Spotlight! 🌟

Thank you, Nora, for the knowledge, encouragement, and care you bring to participants in our community.

🌟AUGUST COACH SPOTLIGHT 🌟
This month, we're celebrating SSBC coach Nora!

We asked a few questions👇

1) Why did you become a SSBC coach?
💬About five years ago, my doctor let me know that my A1C levels were a little high, and that I needed to be careful and should work to prevent developing pre-diabetes. I enrolled in a course that covered similar content as we have in Small Steps for Big Changes, and as a result of what I learned, I was able to lower my A1C levels and improve my health. When I saw that there was an opportunity that I could help others in a similar situation by becoming a coach with Small Steps for Big Changes, I jumped on it! I love sharing knowledge, and it feels especially important to me that I can help others improve their health in a way that I was supported earlier.

2) How long have you been coaching SSBC for?
💬I just received my 1-year pin from the YMCA for being a coach with SSBC! I wear it proudly along with my name tag and SSBC uniform :) It took me a couple of months to complete training and pass the exam, so I’ve been actively coaching with SSBC for about ten months.

3) What is something you want your community to know about SSBC?
💬I would love for folks to know that a wide variety of people here in our community have gone through SSBC, and that our sessions are tailored to each person. So don’t worry if you feel like you may not be a perfect fit. We’ll make it work! The core method of SSBC is motivational interviewing, which means that our sessions together are based on what each person brings in: what your interests are, your values, and your motivations. We talk about what food you like to eat, and how you enjoy to bring movement into your life, and honestly, we laugh a lot. I always look forward to coaching, and we’re always accepting new participants!

Healthy change doesn’t have to happen all at once.

Small Steps for Big Changes focuses on practical, achievable changes you can build into everyday life, with personalized coaching, exercise support, and nutrition guidance along the way.

Participants also receive a free six-week YMCA membership, providing added support to put those healthy habits into practice.
