Lasting Weight Loss for Women Seminar
Finally lose the weight once and for all! The focus of this interactive course will be on specific lifestyle changes that will result in a healthier and more confident you. Designed specifically for women, we will examine the reasons where you are today and how to correct those patterns going forward. The focus of one session will be nutrition, session two will be exercise (including a 30-minute group exercise segment), and session three will be emotional eating and permanent lifestyle changes.
Seminars are led by Joanne Giannini, owner of Body Solutions, a Norwood-based personal training studio. She has personal training certifications from National Academy of Sports Medicine and SCW Fitness. She is a certified Lifestyle Wellness Coach and Group Fitness Instructor. Having once been overweight herself, her passion is to help other women find their way to their personal best.
