Solutions For Life

You have a lot to gain by losing weight

We are committed to improving your health by offering you safe and structure programs for losing weight. We know that losing weight is very hard. We know that keeping weight off is even harder. So whether you want to lose a few pounds or more than a hundred pounds, we will partner with you to select the right weight management program for you.

First and foremost, a weight problem is a health problem.

We've drawn upon the expertise of physicians, surgeons, psychologists, clinical dietitians, exercise physiologists, registered nurses, health educators and personal trainers to help you manage your weight, improve your overall health and your sense of well being.

Solutions for Life

Genesis has partnered with Via Christi to offer a medically supervised program for weight management. We realize how hard it is to lose and maintain weight in today's high fat, high calorie, remote control culture. That is why we approach the task of weight loss with a commitment that goes well beyond traditional dieting.

Lifestyle skills, not just diet skills

Via Christi Medical Center and Genesis Health Clubs are partners in the Solutions for Life program with you. Together, we make losing weight more than just an effective diet because you will do more than only learn how to lose weight. Any very low calorie diet can help you lose weight. The challenge is keeping the weight off after the diet is over. We see successful weight management as a matter of acquiring new skills, not just learning new information. We teach these skills in specially designed Weekly weight loss classes and medical check-ins, and then again in our extensive maintenance program. We will work closely with you as you learn and practice these new skills until they become an automatic part of your daily life.

Weight Maintenance - Keeping the Weight off

Losing weight is hard work. Keeping the weight off is even harder work. Unlike other diets, Solutions for Life continues our partnership with you after you have reached your goal.

We know from our outcomes data that those clients who continue in the weekly maintenance classes do far better at successfully managing their weight than those who go back into "the real world" without continued training and support.

Our Unique Program

Realizing how hard it is to lose weight and maintain that loss in today's high fat, high calorie, remote control culture, Solutions for Life partners form a unique relationship with you that will continue long after your reach your goal weight.

Through weekly maintenance classes and exercise opportunities our commitment to weight loss goes well beyond traditional dieting. What separates our programs from other diets are the lifestyle skills you learn during weight loss and the practicing and "over-practicing" of those skills in our maintenance programs.

We offer these three programs that can be tailored to fit your needs:

• Medically Supervised HMR Program for Weight Management
• HMR At Home Program for Weight Management
• Surgical Program for Weight Management
