What does RETROFIT do?
  
retrofitRETROFIT was created to help people lose at least 10% of their body weight and keep it off.  RETROFIT does this by arming its clients with wireless data collection devices to ensure accountability, and a personal team of wellness experts to design a tailor-made plan for weight management. 
 
Each RETROFIT client signs on for a one-year program, and is assigned their own registered dietitian, exercise physiologist, and behavior coach.  Clients check in weekly with their private wellness team via Skype videoconferencing.  Additionally, clients are outfitted with the latest in high-tech devices that allow all involved to track specific exercise, nutrition and weight status -- and identify potential barriers to success.  Each weight management program is specifically tailored to the distinct needs and motivations of each individual client, with an emphasis on data.
Why do you care?

 

A new Gallup survey of more than 100,000 full-time employees found that 86 percent of American workers are above normal weight.  Comparatively, 68 percent of all Americans are above normal weight, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
