On your health journey, you will have access to resources to help you choose the healthy path for you. Holiday Trimmings Challenge also offers an encouraging community to help you to build successful habits and a healthy lifestyle.

Holiday Trimming Challenge: is a 4-week accountability and motivation program designed to keep you on track during the holiday season.

The grand prize will include a one month membership to the YMCA, a gift card for Hello Fresh and other gift cards from local businesses. Registration includes a super-soft HTC T-shirt! We will have resources and ideas to help you stay active and motivated during the busy holiday season!
