Program Aims for Weight Control Motivation

May 06, 2005

Weight Control is a growing concern amongst the majority of population. With this in mind, several Weight loss programs have been coming up.

A scheme to help motivate people to manage their weight is being re-launched at Spelthorne Leisure Centre.

This scheme has already helped a multitude of patients successfully lose and maintain their weight, lowering their blood pressure and losing inches.

General Practitioners (GP) and nurses can refer patients to this 24 week weight management programme run by qualified fitness instructors.

The first 12-weeks of the programme are run weekly with sessions providing information on physical activity, healthy eating and behavior modification.

The rest 12-weeks offer ongoing support with advice on relapse prevention at a 24-week follow up session.
