The Mettler Center’s weight loss programs are different. There are no diets, supplements, or set menus to follow. Instead, you’ll focus on learning new behavioral skills and reshaping your attitude toward eating and exercise. You’ll eat foods that fit your lifestyle and budget, and you’ll find an exercise routine that you can continue for the rest of your life. The long-term goal of our programs is to empower you, giving you the ability to build healthy habits so you can continue to reach and maintain your healthy weight long after the program has ended. We want you to learn the skills once so you never have to go on another diet again. This requires a lifestyle adjustment and a lifetime commitment. The Mettler Weight Loss Programs provide the structure, guidance and information to make this happen.

Healthy Lifestyle Program (HLP)

Eat Better. Be Active. These are goals for most people. Yet few of us actually reach these goals. It's not that we don't know what to do. More often, the reason we do not succeed with weight loss is that we lack the tools for success and the strategies to change the behaviors that caused us to gain weight. 

Mettler's eight week Healthy Lifestyle Program addresses the actual cause of weight gain. These innovative sessions combine personal training, lifestyle coaching, and nutrition education in a hands-on format for effective learning. HLP participants practice the behaviors that are essential for long-term success. By changing behaviors one week at a time, through realistic goal setting and lots of assistance from both a personal trainer and a lifestyle coach, you'll lose weight. And continue losing it after the program is over. Unlike a diet, your time won't be spent following some strict food plan. It will be spent practicing healthy behaviors such as reading the educational materials provided, walking every day, and shopping for the right foods at the grocery store. Each week participants set weekly goals, may create their own healthy foods in our cooking schools and communicate regularly with their coach between scheduled appointments. Participants also receive a free membership during the course of the program.

Whether you have five pounds or 100 pounds to lose, this course provides both the educational and motivational foundation to reach your goals. State of the art behavior change strategies are taught while participants make small weekly changes in diet and exercise habits. This eight week program combines bi-weekly group meetings, bi-weekly personal training and lifestyle coaching, and bi-weekly phone coaching for improved health status and long term weight loss. This course is taught by a staff of lifestyle coaches. Weekly personal training is done by certified personal trainers. Free membership during the course of the program.
