Newtown Athletic Club

One of the best ways to stay on track with your health & wellness goals in 2019 is to form or join a group program that will help hold you accountable and guide you to success. HealthyCARE is a 90-day group program that prompts behavior change in participants by teaching them to embrace nutritional, fitness and stress management tactics that you’ve never used before that most often equate to long term success.
The HealthyCARE Program at Newtown Athletic Club empowers individuals and families to take control of their wellness. Through fitness, nutrition education, and counseling, participants learn how to create their own wellness plans with the guidance of a licensed registered dietitian and health coach. During the 13-week program, participants realize that they can implement these new habits in their daily life and stay on top of their wellness for years to come.
Most participants lose an average of 15 pounds as a result and see significant improvements in their nutrition related blood work. Plus, did you know most major insurance companies cover a majority of the program’s costs? This makes the HealthyCARE program a very affordable option to commit to change and see real results.
