Getting StartedNutrition Counseling
What Are You Doing the Other 23 Hours?
You’re exercising — and that’s great. But what you eat during the rest of your day matters just as much. Our Registered Dietitians are here to make sure your whole day is supporting your health. Through personalized, one-on-one nutrition counseling, you’ll receive guidance tailored to your specific caloric and nutrient needs, activity level, and health goals — built around real food, real habits, and real life. Whether you want to lose weight, improve your energy, manage a health condition, or simply eat better, our dietitians are ready to help.
What We Cover
Our Registered Dietitians are well-versed in a wide range of nutrition topics. Here’s what you can expect to explore in your sessions.
Personalized Nutrition Coaching
Every session is tailored to you — your goals, your body, your lifestyle. Your dietitian will assess your current eating habits and work with you to develop a practical, sustainable nutrition plan that supports your level of activity and overall health.
Topics covered may include:
- nutrients and food choices
- food logs and portion control
- label reading
- nutrition and diet fads
- grocery store options and choices
- kitchen improvisation and substitutions
- eating away from home, and
- body and social food-related cues.

Why Work with a Registered Dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian brings professional expertise and personalized guidance that goes far beyond generic nutrition advice. Here’s why it makes a difference.
It's Personalized
No two people have the same body, lifestyle, or goals. Your dietitian builds a plan around you — not a generic template.
Evidence-Based
Registered Dietitians are trained healthcare professionals. Their guidance is grounded in science, not trends or fads.
Practical & Sustainable
Great nutrition isn’t about perfection — it’s about habits that fit your real life. Your dietitian will help you build lasting changes, not short-term fixes.
Supports Your Fitness Goals
Nutrition and exercise work together. Your dietitian coordinates with your wellness routine to make sure what you eat amplifies everything you’re doing in the gym.
Accountability & Encouragement
Changing your eating habits is hard. Regular sessions with your dietitian provide the accountability and encouragement to keep going when it gets challenging.
Pair Nutrition with Personal Training
For the best results, combine Nutrition Counseling with Personal Training at the Y. Our certified trainers and Registered Dietitians work as a team to address both sides of your wellness — what you eat and how you move. Together, they’ll help you reach your goals faster and more sustainably than either approach alone.
