What to Expect

Set For Success

For 16 weeks, your coach will lead a one-hour group session that covers common obstacles of successful, sustained weight-management fitness planning, and nutrition information. You'll get the tools and support you need to reach your health and wellness goals. 

This program provides helpful strategies to incorporate nutrition and physical activity into your lifestyle, while addressing motivation, obstacles, and pitfalls that make losing weight and keeping it off such a challenge. The benefits of participating in Wellness for Life long outlast the program.

"The program is a positive environment that can give you the tools you need to get through struggles that make you want to quit." - Program participant

We're In This Together

You are not in this alone. You’ll be joined by a small group of others just like you, who will support and motivate you to reach your goals, encourage you through challenges, and celebrate successes along the way! Making change can be hard to do alone. Groups provide accountability and support. Build awareness about what works for you while in a supportive community.

“Meeting weekly with incredibly supportive, like-minded people helped me achieve my goal and learn a lot about myself. Once I started seeing results, it was easy to stick with.” - Program participant
