Weight Watchers: 50% Subsidy for Yale Employees
There’s never been a better time to join Weight Watchers! Being Well at Yale has partnered with Weight Watchers to offer active, benefit-eligible Yale faculty, staff, and postdoc associates a program subsidy that reduces the cost of membership by more than 50% off the regular membership price!
The Weight Watchers Freestyle™ program is founded on a scientifically-based approach to weight management that helps you eat better by following the SmartPoints® system, move more at your own pace, and positively shift your mindset. Its personalized approach focuses on you, not just a number on the scale.
You can enjoy the convenience of attending meetings at one of the six locations on campus or at studios in the community. Meetings last 30 minutes and are focused on a holistic approach for developing a healthier relationship with food. In addition to attending the supportive meetings, joining Weight Watchers gives you access to a wide range of online resources, such as tracking tools, recipes, success stories, workouts, and more.
If meetings aren’t for you, there’s also the digital option, which allows you to follow the program online.
All of the details, prices, and enrollment instructions can be found on the Being Well at Yale website.
