As this Fox31 News Story points out, consumers need to beware of weight loss clinic or health club scams.

 

Have you ever heard of the weight loss clinic Weight Loss Forever?

Weight Loss Forever had 8 weight loss centers with their main corporate office being in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
While many people experience great results joining a weight loss center, many other people have forked over a lot of their money up front for counseling, products or meal plans only to have the center not live up to their end of the contract.

Weight Loss Forever is a prime example of consumers trusting a company and then losing thousands of dollars!
One day this weight loss clinic just decided to close their doors, unannounced, and pocketed all the money that had been paid to them in good faith.

This news clip tells the Weight Loss Forever Story.

While this is an extreme example, it does go to show that people who are desperate to lose weight may put themselves at risk just by blindly trusting some of these companies.

Some of these weight loss centers have very high overhead to meet with employees to pay, rent that is due and all their advertising costs. In order to meet all these financial obligations, they have to sell more memberships. So while their may be a good support system in place, you may be paying a high price for it.

The support system is probably the main benefit that consumers are looking for when joining weight loss centers or weight loss clinics. We all know there are many ups and downs and highs and lows on the road to permanent weight loss. This support system can help keep you motivated when your willpower is failing.

We have experienced those same feelings – been there – done that! Weight Management Denver was created to try and give you some support without the need for you to spend so much money and risk being taken advantage of.
Think twice about giving your credit card to some business for future payments of hundred or thousands of dollars! Businesses fail every day so consumers need to be aware.

We would recommend that if you do choose a weight loss clinic to help you with your weight loss needs, stick with a well-known national company like Nutri-System or Jenny Craig. Their national presence makes them a safer investment for your hard earned dollars.
