The InBody is a medical-grade body composition analyzer that gives valuable information about your health. Unlike a scale that only tells us weight, the InBody measures everything that we’re made of, including muscle mass, fat, and water weight. The InBody allows us to see exactly how much of each an individual has and track progress over time. This device also measures visceral fat (the fat around our organs), which increases the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high cholesterol.

The InBody also determines individual metabolism, which is very important for creating healthy eating habits. Getting the assessment done is as simple as standing on the InBody and holding the handles and takes only 30-60 seconds to complete! After the measurement, a consultation about the results will follow. Appointments will take approximately 20-30 minutes.

Completing this registration will indicate your interest in this service. Our Fitness and Nutrition Coordinator, Scott Quaife, will reach out to you for scheduling. 

Fee-for-service: $25 for individual, $40 for 2, $50 for family

This service creates a plan to set and achieve healthy eating goals. We will walk through factors to consider and learn about healthy, nutritious options for the whole family. This is accomplished through the use of the “Precision Nutrition” coaching method, a customized diet plan, and a useful plan to achieve your goals.

The Nutrition Coaching package features (4) 45-minute individualized sessions with the self-advocate and their supporter(s). Included in the cost of these sessions is an InBody scan, both before and after the coaching sessions. This is an added value built into this service and provides very helpful body composition information. 

In partnership with Special Olympics, Young Athletes is designed to promote the development of an active lifestyle through play for children between the ages of 4 and 7. Self-advocates will engage in a variety of activities and games alongside their peers targeted towards gross motor and social skill development. The first and final sessions are required.NOTE: please sign up to indicate that you are interested in the Young Athletes program. There are limited spots available in order for every child to receive sufficient support and instruction, and there will be a maximum of 6 children per class this season. Spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis, and based on commitment to the scheduled times and meeting of age and documentation criteria.

A waiting list will be created when enrollment is full for future opportunities.
