Step into the future of wellness –New HealthyHabits program for balanced living at Type One in Norwell

Tyson Sunnerberg, co-founder of Type One Fitness introduces Christina Sullivan to the HealthyHabits app, mapping out her wellness journey together.

NORWELL, MA… The future of wellness is all about balanced living. A new “HealthyHabits” program has launched at Type One Fitness in Norwell to help individuals achieve their health and fitness goals by focusing on sustainable lifestyle changes.
 
Whether looking to shed those extra pounds, boost energy levels or simply live your best life, the HealthyHabits program at Type One Fitness is a game changer.
 
Through a combination of nutritional education, behavioral coaching, and community support, HealthyHabits empowers individuals to make healthier choices and develop sustainable habits that promote overall well-being. The program offers flexible meal planning options, tailored exercise recommendations, and tools for tracking progress to help participants stay motivated and on track.
 
According to the CDC National Center for Health Statistics, 46.9 percent of adults 18 and older met the Physical Activity Guidelines for aerobic physical activity.  Less than half.
 
“Fitness and nutrition shouldn’t be an afterthought, but part of daily practice – a habit,” explained Tyson Sunnerberg, co-founder of Type One Fitness. “HealthyHabits is a structured program that provides participants with personalized guidance, resources, and accountability to foster long-term success.” 
 
Fitness, Nutrition & Support
The HealthyHabits program eliminates the one-size-fits-all approach and provides personalized guidance from certified health coaches. Customizable meal plans designed to fit an individual’s preferences, dietary restrictions, and health goals, make healthy eating easier and more enjoyable than ever.
 
State-of-the-art tracking tools help participants stay accountable and monitor their progress. From food intake to physical activity and goal tracking, the HealthyHabits platform empowers participants to make informed decisions every step of the way.
 
Behavioral coaching sessions enable participants to break free from old habits and embrace a new way of living. Participants learn proven strategies for overcoming common barriers to healthy living, such as stress eating and emotional triggers, so they can thrive in any situation.
 
Best of all, HealthyHabits offers a supportive community of like-minded individuals who are on the same journey.  Participants are able to connect, share experiences, and celebrate successes together.
 
Sunnerberg continued, “HealthyHabits is not a ‘quick fix program’ to reach a short-term goal. Essentially, HealthyHabits is designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss and fitness goals through lifestyle changes that help them thrive. We eliminate the guesswork, provide participants with a blueprint for their journey to balanced living, and a community of support.”
 
Introductory HealthyHabits memberships begin as low as $24 per month.

Type One Fitness of Norwell has expanded their programs to include a Cardiac Rehabilitation Continuance Program (CRCP).  
 
CRCP is designed for adults transitioning from medical cardiac rehabilitation who want to continue with personalized sessions supervised by Type One’s on-staff Exercise Physiologist at their state-of-the-art facility at 386 Washington Street.

CRCP is a comprehensive therapy combining prescribed exercise training, cardiac risk factor modification, education on heart health, and diet and nutrition counseling. The program at Type One Fitness helps individuals recuperate, build confidence and get stronger after surgery or medical treatment for a heart issue, as a transition from a medically supervised program. They accept direct referrals. 
 
After their initial hospital supervised cardiac rehab, CRCP at Type One Fitness helps individuals with continuous progression regardless of age, gender or whether their heart issue was minor or major. They offer long-term and continuing education and care for to help individuals stay heart-healthy and on the right path.

Working in a group setting and utilizing specialized equipment, Type One’s CRCP staff will provide supervision in the gym as individuals start out at their prescribed target heart rate range and rate of perceived exertion, to meet their needs and goals. As they complete more sessions and gain confidence and endurance, the staff will be there to help them gradually progress by increasing the intensity and/or duration of exercise according to their new fitness level. 
 
Vital signs including blood pressure and heart rate will be taken pre and post workouts. The built-in pulse sensors on our advanced exercise machines will help provide real-time heart rate monitoring during an individual’s workout.  
 
Type One also offers an InBody biometric screening, which is a body composition analysis and an optional part of their intake process.

The scariest part of Halloween? The sugar. Type One Fitness, the South Shore’s first diabetes-specific fitness boutique shares helpful tips for the sweetest day of the year.

HINGHAM AND NORWELL, MA… From spooky costumes to “haunted” houses and trick-or-treating, Halloween is an extravagant event enjoyed by many families.  
 
But, for children and families with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the real “ghouls” of Halloween are all the sugary, and often irresistible, treats. So, how do families with diabetes handle an overabundance of sweets?  
 
The founders of Type One Fitness of Norwell, MA, the first athletic center to focus on type 1 diabetes wellness, share helpful tips with families, while still leaving room for lots of fun: 
 
Limiting how much candy is consumed is key. Reading the nutrition information on the package will provide a better understanding of the size of a serving. For chocolate bar treats that are the individually-wrapped smaller snack size, one serving is approximately two snack size pieces. However, it’s not easy for children (and even most adults) to stick to a limit of one serving. Be clear with your child and tell them exactly how many pieces of candy they may eat and when it is okay to do so. 
 
Stay on top of how much insulin is needed. Since the human body is so complex, not all people will process insulin the same way. Factors like time of day, stress levels, and physical activity can make these numbers more difficult to predict. Essentially, sweets are considered carbohydrates and should be treated as such within the day’s overall consumption. ​It’s important to note that because candy contains fat, if it is eaten in excess, it can get tricky and affect blood sugar. Fats can slow the digestion process down, changing the delivery of the insulin. ​So, working in any sweets on Halloween takes a bit of planning around healthy meals, snacks and exercise. 
 
Be aware that children may “sneak” candy. Let’s face it – sweets are hard to resist. On Halloween, parents and caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes need to keep a close eye on their child’s sugar and carbohydrate consumption.  
 
Balance treats with healthier fiber and protein in between. Fiber and protein help stabilize blood sugar levels. Peanut butter or nut butter on celery sticks or apple slices, vegetables cut into sticks with yogurt dip, slices of cheese and protein bars are a few healthy snack options. 
 
Get everyone moving. Exercising also helps stabilize blood sugar. With all the Halloween excitement, from trick-or-treating to games and running around in general, it’s fairly easy to get the kids involved in fun activities and moving around. 
 
According to Type One Fitness co-founder Tyson Sunnerberg who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 21 years old and now has a young daughter diagnosed with type 1, “Eliminating the sweets on Halloween is nearly impossible. Even if you don’t have sweets on hand in your home, children will likely come across candy and other sugary snacks through their friends, activities, clubs, Halloween parties, and so on. Bear in mind that if chocolate, candy or other sweet snack is consumed, it should be done so in moderation and incorporated with healthy meals, nutritious snacks and exercise.”

First diabetes-specific fitness center to open in Norwell, MA. Building a culture of good health with fitness, nutrition and support.

HINGHAM AND NORWELL, MA… The best way to predict how well someone will manage their diabetes is by how much support they get from family, friends and their local community.

Type One is building that supportive community. 

The first athletic center to focus on type 1 diabetes wellness, Type One Fitness, is now under construction at 386 Washington Street, Route 53, Norwell, MA.  Individuals and families living with diabetes and the local community will be attracted to the center for its credentialed fitness trainers, nutritionists and state of the art exercise equipment and studios. 

Type One is committed to expanding and enhancing support for the many families and individuals living with diabetes throughout the South Shore. The new 11,000+ square foot first-class wellness facility will be occupied by Type One Fitness (6,000+ square feet) with plans to include services such as massage therapy, Pilates, physical therapy, etc. to complement the facility.

About 1 in 500 people in the U.S. are living with type 1 diabetes. Less than one-third of people with type 1 diabetes in the U.S. are achieving target blood glucose control levels. Better fitness, better nutrition, and better support can change that.  

Type One Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Hingham, MA is dedicated to providing essential funding for research for a cure for type 1 diabetes while also helping to ensure that those living with the disease have the support and resources they need to survive, strive and achieve their dreams. They are launching Type One Fitness to provide a higher-level fitness and personal training experience where clients and members can achieve long-term lifestyle changes through exercise and nutrition, and where all-around well-being is enhanced through unique features, services, and amenities. 

Type One Fitness will provide a fully integrated health program for type 1 diabetes patients and the general public. The center offers a place for real time conversation and education for those living with type 1 diabetes. A place that improves the lives of others in the community by offering support not only for individuals with diabetes, but also for parents and caregivers, partners, siblings and friends as well. Outside of a medical facility, there is currently no facility that welcomes and merges a comprehensive type 1 diabetes connection with the general public. Type One Fitness does just that while enabling those affected by the disease to obtain any non-medical support that they need. 

“There has been a significant increase in new diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth and adults in the U.S.,” explained Paul Foti, co-founder of Type One. “This is extremely concerning. Living with type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease, is a lifelong challenge. As a community, we must do all that we can through awareness, education, and support.”

Type One Fitness will provide clients and members with a daily program of exercise and a healthy approach that perfectly suits their lifestyles and needs. Along with Certified Personal Trainers, Nutritionists, and Life Coaches, the facility will be equipped with the latest technology, media, cardiovascular equipment, ellipticals, bikes, rowers, treadmills, strength training, free weights and functional and flexibility machines.

Type One Fitness will provide a place where the type 1 diabetes community can find support for the autoimmune disease and end the stigma of what type 1 diabetes is and who it affects through education and awareness programming. 

Type One Fitness is the brainchild of Foti and Type One co-founder Tyson Sunnerberg, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 21 years old and knows firsthand that the right resources and support make all the difference in the world when it comes to managing this disease. Five years ago, at the age of five, Sunnerberg’s daughter Elyse was also diagnosed with type 1, which intensified his drive toward a cure, and provided a firsthand understanding of the constant challenges the entire family faces when living with an individual with type 1 diabetes.

Foti continued, “Type One Fitness is committed to building a culture of good health, well-being and inclusion for youth and families, as well as to provide health and human services for its members and their families.”

Construction is being handled by Callahan/Hoffman Company, Inc. of Norwell, MA. 
A capital campaign for the build-out is underway.
