Shape Up Omaha is a twelve-week weight-loss program where teams of four to eight are assigned to a team and a YMCA certified personal trainer who will conduct three calorie-burning workouts a week and provide nutrition education and accountability. Teams will be weighed in each week by their trainer and rewarded based on their percentage of weight loss. 

Cost is $480 for YMCA members, $615 non-members.
