Exercise and Nutrition

This club meets twice a week, for one session on Monday (sessions run for 2 hours) and two sessions per night on Thursdays, at the Montclair YMCA. The goal of this club is to provide individuals with the opportunity to get fit and healthy in an integrated and supported environment. We monitor the progress each individual is making by tracking heart rates, endurance, and increase in stamina. We also provide the group with articles and lectures on healthy lifestyle choices.

We suggest that individuals sign up for alternating times during the week so they can take advantage of the many classes at the YMCA. For example, if you sign up for the 6:00 p.m. session on Monday, you should sign up for the 8:00 p.m. session on Thursday. The following week should be reversed so you would come to 6:00 p.m. class on Thursday. Please complete the Exercise & Nutrition Registration Form in this packet.

Before you can begin taking classes, all medical information must be returned to The ARC of Essex County’s main office. We will then call to set up a meeting time. For these classes, we require individuals to be in adequate physical health and to be able to independently function in changing rooms. The ratio of staff is 1 to 3 participants. Anyone needing additional support will need to contact the Recreation Department, at (973) 535-1181, ext. 1247.

Anyone who enrolls in this program MUST be brought into the YMCA by their ride and be greeted by an Exercise and Nutrition staff member. Also, before you can be released from the YMCA, your ride MUST come in to get you. We are concerned for the safety of our participants and want to be sure that everyone arrives/departs safely.
