Our program has helped millions of people worldwide achieve their weight loss goals through our science-based points system and supportive community environment. We understand that sustainable weight loss is about more than just counting calories, it's about creating lasting lifestyle changes that you can maintain for life.
Our Penfield location offers both in-person workshops and digital tools to support your journey in whatever way works best for your schedule and preferences. Whether you're just starting your weight loss journey or looking to maintain your success, our experienced coaches provide the guidance and accountability you need to reach your goals. We focus on building healthy habits around food, activity, and mindset that become second nature over time.
Services Offered
Our core service is the WW program, which uses our proprietary SmartPoints system to help you make healthier food choices while still enjoying the foods you love. Each food is assigned a point value based on its nutritional content, and you receive a daily and weekly points budget to work within. This flexible approach allows you to eat what you want while naturally guiding you toward more nutritious options. We provide comprehensive support through weekly workshops where members share experiences, celebrate successes, and learn new strategies for overcoming challenges. Our workshops are led by lifetime members who have successfully lost weight and maintained their loss using the WW program. In addition to in-person support, members have access to our mobile app with thousands of recipes, restaurant guides, barcode scanning for easy tracking, and connection with other members. We also offer digital-only memberships for those who prefer online support and tools without attending in-person meetings.

Why Choose WW “Formerly Weight Watchers”
WW has been helping people lose weight successfully for over 50 years, and our program is backed by extensive research and real-world results. Unlike restrictive diets that eliminate entire food groups, our flexible points system allows you to eat what you love while learning to make healthier choices naturally. The community aspect of our program provides accountability and support that you simply can't get from apps or online programs alone.
Our lifetime members who lead workshops truly understand the challenges of weight loss because they've been through the journey themselves. They provide practical tips and emotional support that comes from personal experience. Many members find that the friendships and connections they make at WW become an important part of their overall well-being, extending far beyond weight loss.
Insurance & Pricing
While most insurance plans don't cover WW membership fees, some employers offer wellness programs that may reimburse or partially cover the cost. We offer several membership options to fit different budgets and preferences, including unlimited workshops with digital access or digital-only plans. Our pricing is competitive with other structured weight loss programs, and many members find the investment worthwhile given the comprehensive support and proven results they receive.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before joining, consider what type of support works best for you, some people thrive in group settings while others prefer digital tools. Come to your first meeting with an open mind and realistic expectations about the timeline for weight loss. Successful members typically lose 1-2 pounds per week and understand that progress isn't always linear.
To get the most from your membership, attend meetings regularly, use the app consistently to track your food, and engage with other members for support and motivation. Don't be discouraged if you have setbacks, they're a normal part of the process. Focus on building habits gradually rather than trying to change everything at once, and remember that small, consistent changes lead to big results over time.
