While it is ideal that the WW client participates in a Health Coaching + Wellness program to receive the most comprehensive health education, not all community establishments have the necessary infrastructure to provide the combination of physical activity and nutrition education. For this reason, this proposal includes the implementation of Health Coaching + Fitness programs at facilities which are only able to offer education on physical activity and access to exercise equipment.

The following is an example of a Health Coaching + Fitness program that WW clients would be approved to participate in. In the case that the selected Health Coaching + Fitness program does not meet all the requirements to be recognized by WW for approval, WW is able to fill in the gaps by supplementing additional health education resources paid for by the program’s funds.
