Take a structured, evidence-based approach to achieving your health goals. Our comprehensive program is designed to support sustainable weight management through expert guidance and practical strategies.

The course runs for a total of 12 weeks with a ‘break’ between 8 and 12. On week 12 you will have a final weigh-in and talk about how you will keep up the good work.
Throughout your journey during the 12 weeks, you will keep track of your exercise completed, eating habits and document how you are feeling, these will be reviewed by the facilitator and feedback will be provided.
There are weekly group discussions about progress and any difficulties you may have faced.
