How does the program work?

VTRIM ONLINE

Log on and lose!

We won't claim you'll lose weight while you sleep, but you can attend Vtrim in your pajamas.

The Vtrim Weight Management Program is a six-month commitment consisting of 24 one-hour group classes guided by a certified facilitator. Your group will consist of 15-20 members, all working on similar goals to improve health habits. In addition to the support gained through the group setting, each participant receives individualized guidance throughout the program from the facilitator.

Each weekly Vtrim meeting centers around a specific topic geared to help you establish healthier behaviors and habits that you can use throughout your life. The program also utilizes various tools to help you track how many calories you eat and how much exercise you do.

Vtrim Online meets once a week in a virtual classroom (chat room) and is led by a Vtrim certified facilitator. The program is web-based, meaning you log into the class through your browser from any high-speed internet connection anywhere. There is no special software to download and you can participate in the class from any computer with internet access. Log on and lose weight while on business in Baltimore or while vacationing in Venice! Vtrim Online has a proven record of weight loss success rates similar to in-person classes.

VTRIM IN PERSON

If you live in the Burlington Vermont area, you can take a Vtrim class in-person. The in-person classes follow the same format as Vtrim Online, however they take place in a physical classroom setting. Additionally, we have select community locations which host Vtrim classes.

VTRIM MAINTENANCE

The Vtrim Maintenance Class is designed for participants that have completed the six-month Vtrim program. The class meets online once a month and provides group support to help keep you on track. While enrolled in the maintenance class you have access to all the online tools to keep track of your calories, exercise and weight loss. There is an in-person maintenance option for those who have attended an in-person class.
