Lifestyle change program is recruiting
This study is a lifestyle change program designed specifically to assist individuals who wish to become regular exercisers. We are very excited to be able to offer such a program to the Okanagan community. Small Steps for Big Changes offers evidence-based, individualized fitness testing, one-on-one personal training, and most importantly, teaches important self-regulatory skills that enable life-long involvement in physical activity all free of charge. Our aim is to assist in active adults in becoming independent exercisers.
We are looking for men and women between the ages of 30 – 65 years who engage in two or less bouts of aerobic activity per week and can commit to the program and associated visits held in our laboratory at UBC Okanagan.
Contact us by phone us at 250-807-8419 for more information! Or email: hepl.study@ubc.ca and we will be happy to describe the study in depth a bit more or send you an email with more detailed information on what the study will entail.
