Next session of Healthy Boiler lifestyle program – One to One Fit – begins Feb. 1

Led by Purdue Fort Wayne health coach Lindsay Bloom, One to One Fit is a four-week, virtual physical activity Healthy Boiler lifestyle program that establishes a baseline fitness level and provides participants with the resources and knowledge needed to meet their fitness goals. The next session begins Feb. 1.

The program is designed for those interested in making lifestyle changes related to weight loss, increased energy, better sleep and stress management. One to One Fit explores three types of exercise — aerobic, flexibility and resistance training — and teaches individuals how each can be used to meet their unique needs and goals. One to One Fit supports the physical health pillar of the Healthy Boiler program.

Attendees of the virtual program will learn how to use small weights and breathing techniques to properly execute exercises like arm curls, squats and lunges. Individuals also will learn how to safely modify exercises to accommodate medical concerns or mobility issues. After each class, participants receive printable information sheets they can use to practice exercises at home. 

One to One Fit participants also will receive individual coaching sessions at the program’s beginning and end to help them create and assess their lifestyle goals. The health coaches encourage participants to maintain their goal-setting behavior even after the program ends.

One to One Fit is free and open to all benefits-eligible employees and their dependents.

Individuals should register for the program by Jan. 25 via the Healthy Boiler Portal. The registration link can be found under the “Healthy Boiler Workshops” section on the portal’s homepage. Hover over the program’s square and hit “Submit” to register.
