Take the 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge
Despite the best intentions of many individuals and government bodies the UK and Ireland remain in a dangerous downward spiral to ill health.
According to the National Audit Office Report on tracking obesity in England 2001, the four most common health problems related to obesity are: High Blood Pressure, Certain Cancers, Coronary Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes. The latest Health Survey, prepared for the Department of Health, reports that 43% of men and 33% of women were overweight in 2003. In the same year 22% of men and 28% of women will be obese by 2010.
The goal of the Wellness Clubs is simple - to help each member make better diet and lifestyle choices that lead them towards achieving their personal wellness goals. Now, although weight loss may come into it, we believe our approach is much more focused on general wellbeing and long term sustainable results than say your typical weight loss clubs. Our approach is different. We look at our member's health from the inside out! We believe that if we can lead our members towards optimum nutrition and help them positively change their body composition, they are much better equiped not only to reach their ideal weight but to maintain it in the long term.
Every attendee is offered a comprehensive wellness questionnaire, professional body composition analysis and advice on simple changes they can make to improve their lifestyle.
First of all height and age is recorded then you stand on the scales. Now, this isn't just any old set of scales. This is a Body Composition Monitor. This helps to calculate body composition by sending a low safe electrical signal through the body. The signal passes freely through fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and blood, but meets resistance passing through fat tissue. The monitors accurately measure this resistance and use it to calculate elements of body composition. You find out your body fat%, total body water %, visceral fat%, physique rating and finally your metaboloic age which you can compare to your actual age!
You complete a questionnaire (don't panic it's only 14 questions) about your general diet and exercise to which you answer either Yes or No. You score points on your answers and these give you a Wellness Evaluation Score. The more honest you are in your answers will ensure that you are given the best possible advice which will cover diet, exercise and simple rules that can have a dramatic impact on your overall health. Each member will be recommended a personalised nutrition programme from the Herbalife product range, which will help each member achieve their wellness goals simply, affordably and with great success! Each member is also assigned their own Personal Wellness Coach who is accessable even outside of Club times.
The Community Wellness Club meetings give their members the opportunity to receive regular guidance and inspiration from like minded people that have decided to make their health a priority. To meet the growing demand for support and information new clubs are being launched all over the country.
So, how much does this cost? Well, this is the good bit - your first visit is FREE! There is no joining fee and if you decide to keep attending then it is £10.00 per every four weeks or £3.00 per week if you don't want to pay in advance.
