"I originally was interested in taking the Core4 class to learn about better nutrition, be healthier, make better food choices, learn what the info on food labels meant and just feel better overall. The weekly topics helped with an awareness of food choices and as a bonus I naturally lost a little weight along the way! For one of the weekly classes, we were able to visit a grocery store where the dietitian walked us through reading labels and talked about making grocery comparisons where you might choose one item over another. The discussion of total sugars vs added sugar was surprising! Megan Block made the class very interesting! She is very relatable, fun and always encouraging!"

Body Composition Analysis (BCA)
This analysis is based on an individual’s personal information using weight, height and age. The BCA shows the composition of your body in terms of fat, muscle, and water content. This can help you concentrate on losing body fat and increasing muscle mass instead of just focusing on losing pounds. A body composition analysis is completed at the beginning and the end of this 12-week program.
Location Details:
Classes will be held in the Admin 2 Conference Room. Please meet in the PLHS Main Lobby just inside the Main Entrance on the south side of the complex. A Core4 instructor will direct you to the conference room.
