Our program is five and a half months long. In our program a person will receive unlimited access to a dietician, with a minimum of five hours of one-on-one consultation time. They'll receive over 24 hours of group fitness within the confines of our fitness facility, as well as see our personal trainer for three hours, one-on-one. I see people every two weeks for the first half of the program, and every three weeks for the second half, but quite frankly, I'll see people weekly if need be.
The cost of our program is $1,450. It is far less expensive than the weight management program being run at the hospital, and we also have an affiliation with a company called Medicard, which provides medical loans to Canadians and would allow people to spread the cost of the program over four years, to the point where it would cost $30 or $40 a month if they wanted to enrol.
There are insurers who are paying for portions of the program and there are also some insurers who are now potentially considering paying for the complete program.
