Very supportive weight loss environment

by kthlf

Very supportive environment that combines group support, fitness and nutrition counseling. Gym is small and not intimidating. All clients working on wellness. Personal training and nutrition counseling visits included in fees. Lots of group classes as well.

• Pros: Support

Perfect Environment

by ObamaMama

I belong to ILWM and have lost a significant amount of weight and inches. I can't understand what the last reviewer was talking about. The staff is ALWAYS helpful, the gym is not intimidating, and it is very much worth the money. They have a residential program that feeds partcipants, so that explains the food smells.

The program is what you make of it--if you are not willing to work hard, this is certainly not the place for you. There is no magic pill only hard work. The work pays off though.

the administrative staff go out of their way to accomodate everyone and keep everyone happy. I have not found them pushy at all.

It is a great placwe with a positive attitude. It seems like it was made just for me.

Check it out!

• Pros: They understand me and my problems. They give me the supprt i need
• Cons: One location

Loose all your money while you loose weight!!!!!

If you like paying an arm and a leg for weight loss service, than this is the place. I was very disappointed with the office staff and always felt like they were very pushy about their services. They have a nice training staff however the gym is small, and the office staff seems a bit disorganized. I walked in the office a couple weeks ago and it reeked of burgers and fries. I would not recommend this place if your serious about losing weight.

• Pros: Convenient
• Cons: Everything

Most comprehensive weight loss program

by mbsmom

I have needed to lose about 30 pounds (two kids will do that to you) and have struggled to find a place that met my needs. ILWM offers everthing I need under one roof. Also, it is a healthy and credible weight loss program. I was glad they didn't promote fad diets or medications or shakes, etc. Very low intimidation environment and a nice gym. Plus they give me a membership to Gold's Gym which I am feeling more comfortable about using now that I have lost weight. My weight loss was gradual until I started participating in their Accelerated program in which I work out with personal trainer. But the best part is the life coaching and psychology classes. The appetite awareness class helped me to recoginize my hunger signals and teach me when to eat at the right times.

• Pros: Access to all of the experts I need to succeed
• Cons: Only one location

The Weight Loss Specialists in Raleigh, NC!

by lacyanne24

I've been going to The Institute of Lifestyle and Weight Management for a few months now. As a woman, I really enjoy the comfort that I feel of working out in a relaxing, cozy environment. I do not feel at all embarrassed of my situation and I can workout know that no one is judging me. The staff is extremely supportive and knowledgable. Not much more than working out at my previous club and the peace of mind I now have is well worth the minor price increase.

• Pros: intelligent staff, cooking classes, amazing fitness center
