Change can be intimidating, but the HONEY program tries to make your journey easier by providing personalized guidance on nutrition and workouts tailored to you. It’s not just about physical fitness; it’s about having the energy and resilience to live life to the fullest.
HONEY stands for Healthy Options, Nutrition, Exercise & Youth. The HONEY Program is a grant-funded program for Greene County residents 12 years old and older. The HONEY team travels to all five Greene County school districts one time per week during the school year. Through hands-on cooking demonstrations and group physical activities, the HONEY program explores how students can implement a healthy lifestyle in beautiful, rural Greene County.
All HONEY enrollees have access to a personalized fitness plan, a Garmin watch for fitness tracking, a HONEY cookbook designed by the HONEY team, and health coaching sessions. The HONEY team also works with a registered dietician (RD) for any nutritional needs/questions that may come up. The RD has also created several presentations for nutritional education that participants can access.
HONEY uses a food categorization system to help you make better dietary decisions. You will be introduced to: Go foods, Slow foods, and Woah foods. Recognizing the challenge of maintaining fitness with a busy schedule, HONEY provides free in-person fitness classes. Instructors present adaptable fitness plans, empowering you to exercise at your convenience.
Along with accessible fitness options, HONEY provides a Fitbit Inspire 2 when you sign up. This allows you to track your health journey, and when other family members or friends join HONEY, you can link Fitbits to challenge each other.
The program has recently partnered with The WAY Community Center of Greene County. HONEY Sundays have been started at The Way from 5:00-6:00 pm every Sunday. These events are open to current HONEY enrollees as well as prospective participants. During these events, there is a healthy snack option, gym access, and the opportunity to ask the HONEY team any questions one may have on a personal health and wellness journey.
HONEY also offers complimentary cooking classes designed to equip you and your family with the skills to make delicious, healthy meals. They will help you find recipes that work for you, so you enjoy each meal.
