Mandatory Informational Session
This is registering for the FREE mandatory information sessions on 2/3 & 2/5, held in the Community Room at the Southside Mall next to JC Penny’s. Participansts are required to attend both sessions.
We will vote on the class time at the 2/3 session either 9:00 am or 1:00 pm.
We will discuss the program, how it will run and do some assessments on each participant so they can see their improvements by program’s end. All participants are encouraged to reach out to their doctor, prior to attending the information sessions, to ensure that the doctor feels this is an appropriate program for you. An information sheet can be provided by email or you may stop and pick one up at the Oneonta Family YMCA to help answer questions in your conversation with your doctor.
After attending the information sessions you can sign up for the classes on 2/3 & 2/5 please bring a credit card or check only. Classes will be held every Monday & Wednesday 2/10 – 4/30/25
