Retrofit offers you the tools and the team needed to lose weight for good. When you join Retrofit, you receive a wireless activity tracker and a Wi-Fi body composition scale. The activity tracker is a small clip-on device you wear on a belt, waistband, or even an undergarment. It keeps track of your physical activity during the day and your sleep at night, and delivers that data wirelessly to your own personalized online Retrofit dashboard. The Wi- Fi scale is equally simple to use. Every morning, just step on the scale to measure your current weight, your body fat versus lean mass percentage, and your body mass index, or BMI. This information too, is delivered to your Retrofit dashboard.
After gathering detailed information about you, we identify your specific weight loss challenges and match you with your own Retrofit weight loss team, including a registered dietician, an exercise physiologist and a behavior coach. Your team members are experts in the key skill development areas of nutrition, fitness, or mindset. You meet with one of these team members each week during the weight loss phase of your Retrofit program. Meetings take place via online video conference, so they fit with your busy schedule whenever and wherever it's convenient. At the office, on the road, or at your home, we create a schedule to suit your lifestyle.
Each session, we review the week's results, evaluate your progress, and address specific challenges you may be facing, like helping you choose smart options at your favorite restaurant or helping you find time for physical fitness in your schedule. Throughout the program, you are also assigned a program advisor, who functions as your personal weight loss concierge. Your advisor can help with all aspects of the program, from appointment scheduling to tracking your progress and achieving your program goal.
The Retrofit skill-building programs are designed to produce safe and sustainable weight reduction. Instead of concentrating on simply losing pounds short-term, our program focuses on losing an achievable percentage of body weight and building the skills you need to be successful managing your weight for life. The basic skills program incorporates 12 private sessions with your team of experts, designed to deliver, at least, ten percent weight loss, sustained through the end of the 12-month program. The advanced skills program includes 24 sessions, designed to deliver, at least, 15% overall weight loss, sustained through the end of the 12-month program.
Both plans require your dedication for a full year, including weighing yourself regularly on your Wi-Fi scale, wearing your wireless activity tracker everyday, answering intake questions to help your expert team understand your challenges, attending all scheduled sessions with your wellness team, and following your personal program to the best of your ability. We are dedicated to getting you to your goal and keeping you there. If you are participating fully in each of these steps and don't hit the ten or 15% program goal, we will provide a second year of services free. Slow and steady weight decline is achievable. Our advisory board brings the combined experience of working with more than 40,000 weight loss clients to help you build positive habits for life.
