      “My experience in the program has forever helped my health. I received advice to help guide me in the right direction towards my weight loss goals. If it wasn’t for each of the coaches, I don’t know where I would be. Each and every one motivated me to be better. It is a non-judgmental, helpful, and rewarding environment to be in”.

      “A little over a year ago after being weighed at the doctor’s office, I came to the realization that if I didn’t lose weight, the doctor was going to put me on a diet. I believe that I needed more than just a diet, I need a lifestyle change. After researching available programs and consulting with my doctor, The Wellness Institute’s “Weight Loss Clinic” was the best option. The councilors provided a personalized diet and exercise program. They also helped me correct a few bad sleeping habits. After one year I would like to thank the staff at the Weight Loss Clinic for helping me establish a sustainable, healthy lifestyle and a 90 lb. weight reduction. ” – Barry (age 64)
