“Commit To Be Fit’’ With Genesis Wellness Center Program

Bettendorf, IA – Exercise can help you manage your weight, control stress, reduce blood pressure and increase lean body mass, but the benefits do not come without commitment.

Genesis Wellness Center will offer the opportunity for active people 20 pounds or more overweight to make that commitment in a comfortable exercise environment. A six-week exercise program called “Commit To Be Fit’’ will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. starting July 5.

The class will meet in the Genesis Wellness Center at the Bettendorf Family YMCA.

The program will teach participants to lift weights properly and use a variety of exercise equipment. Participants will work with an exercise specialist to design a personalized plan for a lifetime of fitness.

You do not need to be a YMCA member to enroll. Class cost is $45 and you may register for classes by calling the Genesis Health Promotion Department at 563-421-3870.
