GRAND OPENING SPECIAL: Purchase your weight loss program and receive at no additional charge your Stabilization and Maintenance Package, valued at $275.

What is Stabilization and Maintenance?

Stabilization is a six week program that a client enters into once they reach their goal weight. It is during these six weeks that additional food is put back into the body each week. On the sixth week a client is presented the right amount of servings he/she needs to maintain their goal weight!

Maintenance is a six month program whereby a client visits the center once a week to see how he/she is dealing with their new body. It is a very important phase because we educate our clients on how to deal with their body at its goal weight. It is more of a grounding period for a client to adjust and receive the skills needed to maintain their goal weight!

A Letter from the Director

          I would like to take this oppurtunity to wish you a very happy new year! It’s been an amazing first quarter. Empowering YOU continues to grow and grow each day with new clients. To all my clients, Thank You for choosing my staff and I to become part of your journey into a new lifestyle change. How empowered you must feel! We (Myself, Angie, Gail and Wanda) look forward to motivating you, just think: 2010 will be the year you reach your goal weight!
 
           Empowering YOU Lifestyle Centre has become everything I imagined it would be: a center for clients to get healthy, fit and most of all happy. We have become a small community, through the running team, seminars, client appreciation parties, our clients have gotten to know each other. They don’t feel pressured at their weight loss visits to buy any type of product; they know it’s about them. After all, the only thing we have to sell you is your goal weight! I should also mention here that compared to the other weight loss centers around the St. John’s area, we are very affordable. There is no “atrocious” upfront cost and your weight loss weeks can be paid by-weekly! I am also proud to announce a new department for Out of Town Clients. This department is totally devoted to clients who would like to take advantage of our services but cannot get in on a regular basis. Weight loss visits are done via phone or Skpe. 

           If you are thinking about making 2010 the year to lose weight, shape up or just become empowered, we are only a phone call away. I would also like to mention here that my goal for any client who would like to join is to have the largest running team in the 2010 Tely Ten Road Race in July.  I love to run and I have taken this passion turned it into a running team. As soon as the snow is gone…”we will be up and running”. This is a free service to my clients. So if the Tely 10 is something that you always wanted to complete, you now have the opportunity to do so. What a compliment to your weight loss plan!

           In closing, I have the first testimonial  for 2010, from one of  my “empowered clients”  I believe this says it all. It can be viewed on our testimonials page, which is located in the navigation bar at the top of this webpage.  
 

                                                    Brenda Barry,

                                                    Director of Empowering YOU
