About WW "Formerly Weight Watchers"

Treatment at WW "Formerly Weight Watchers"

WW (formerly Weight Watchers) has been helping Minneapolis residents achieve their weight loss goals for decades through our proven points-based system and supportive community approach. Our program focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than restrictive dieting, making it easier to maintain your results long-term.

Our experienced coaches and workshop leaders provide guidance, accountability, and motivation throughout your weight loss journey. We believe that lasting change happens when you have the right tools, support system, and mindset to make healthier choices consistently.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive program includes access to the WW app with our points tracking system, extensive recipe database, and workout videos. In-person workshops provide weekly weigh-ins, group discussions, and practical tips from certified coaches who've been through their own weight loss transformations. The PersonalPoints system assigns values to foods based on calories, saturated fat, sugar, and protein content, making it easy to make healthier choices without eliminating entire food groups. You'll also receive ZeroPoint foods that you can eat without tracking. Digital tools include barcode scanning, restaurant guides, and meal planning features. Virtual workshops and 24/7 chat support provide flexibility for busy schedules. Our Connect social platform allows you to share progress, get advice, and celebrate successes with other members nationwide.

What to Expect

Getting started is simple - you can join online or attend your first workshop to learn how the PersonalPoints system works. During your first week, you'll set up the WW app, learn to track your food, and get familiar with ZeroPoint foods and weekly SmartPoints allowances.

Weekly workshops provide accountability through private weigh-ins and group discussions about challenges and successes. Topics rotate weekly and cover practical subjects like meal prep, dining out strategies, and overcoming emotional eating. You'll set small, achievable goals and celebrate progress along the way. The program is designed to be flexible - you can attend different workshop locations or switch to virtual meetings as your schedule changes.

Why Choose WW "Formerly Weight Watchers"

WW has helped millions of people lose weight and keep it off for over 50 years. Our program is backed by extensive research and continuously updated based on the latest nutritional science. Unlike fad diets, our approach teaches sustainable habits you can maintain for life.

The combination of proven tracking tools and community support gives you both accountability and flexibility. You'll learn to make better food choices without giving up the foods you love. Our app makes tracking simple and convenient, while workshops provide the human connection and motivation that's crucial for long-term success. Many members form lasting friendships and continue supporting each other even after reaching their goals.

Insurance & Pricing

Some insurance plans and employers offer reimbursement or discounts for WW membership. Check with your HR department or insurance provider about wellness benefits that might cover part of your membership fees.

Monthly membership plans start at $20.95 for digital-only access and $44.95 for digital plus unlimited workshops. We frequently offer promotions for new members including reduced rates and free starter kits. Students and seniors may qualify for special discounted rates. All plans include access to the app, recipes, workouts, and community support features.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with WW comes from consistent tracking and regular engagement with the program. Use the app daily to log your food and stay within your PersonalPoints budget. Attend workshops regularly - members who attend consistently lose more weight than those who rely solely on the app.

Plan ahead by tracking meals in advance and having ZeroPoint foods readily available for snacks. Don't be too hard on yourself if you have setbacks - the weekly SmartPoints are designed to give you flexibility for special occasions. Stay connected with other members through the app and workshops for motivation and practical tips. Remember that slow, steady progress is more sustainable than rapid weight loss.
