Diabetes Prevention Program

The Diabetes Prevention Program at the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA is dedicated to empowering individuals in Tampa, FL to improve their health and significantly reduce their risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Our program consists of 16 engaging weekly sessions facilitated by a certified lifestyle coach, focusing on essential topics such as healthy eating, maintaining an active lifestyle, and effective behavior change. Participants benefit from a supportive, group-based environment where they can learn practical strategies for better nutrition and physical activity, ultimately fostering long-term healthy habits. After the initial 16 weeks, we continue to support participants with bi-weekly and monthly follow-up sessions to ensure lasting success. We warmly welcome everyone to join us at any Tampa YMCA location and invite workplaces to inquire about on-site opportunities. Financial assistance options and flexible payment plans are available for those who qualify, ensuring that our program is accessible to all who need it.
