The Family Fit Program is Your Health Restoration Blueprint and includes:

Physician Consultation

At ILWM, our team-oriented approach makes it essential that the physician understands your motivations and limitations in order to support your family’s long-term success. All enrolled family members are scheduled for one-hour physician appointments where medical and family history are examined, and thorough physicals will be conducted, concluding with one-on-one consultations regarding clearance for safe exercising and the need for any further diagnostic tests. This process is repeated every three months.

Comprehensive Health Assessment

We will conduct a comprehensive series of diagnostic tests on each family member to establish basic levels of health, to identify any co-morbid conditions and to determine limitations to participation in our program. We start by obtaining vitals signs and body composition assessments, which includes body fat percentage, Body Mass Index, basal metabolic rate, hydration status and weight. We also conduct lab tests to obtain relevant clinical information. All of this data is used by our practitioners to properly determine and manage the appropriate path of change for your family members.

Nutrition Consultation

Our Registered Dietitians meet with your family as a group and develop a personalized meal plan that meets your family’s needs. After several weeks on the meal plan, you and your family will reconvene with the Dietitian to address any areas of the plan that need be modified. During these meetings, the Dietitians provide education on basic nutrition, portion control, label reading, healthy shopping, eating on the run and other relevant nutrition topics.

Exercise Consultation

The Exercise Physiologists at ILWM will work one-on-one with your family to develop custom workout routines that fit both your Family’s needs and lifestyle. After developing exercise programs, they will instruct your family on implementing the plan in our 2,500 sq. ft. fitness center, ensuring comfort and understanding of the equipment. As your family continues down the path to better health, exercise physiologists are always available to update and modify your exercise programs as needed. Additionally, an exclusive Family Fit exercise class is held on Saturday morning, designed to work out all members, whether adult or adolescent. In addition, personal training is available at an additional fee.

Cooking & Educational Classes

With a staff of dietitians, exercise physiologists, physicians, therapists and chefs, ILWM has a host of educational offerings. From healthy gourmet cooking to stress management, classes are included and open to all members. We also hold regularly scheduled aerobics and movement classes, and expert lectures on such topics as proper nutrition, time management, stress management, and other self-improvement issues. The Family Fit program also adds a Kid’s Cuisine class, which exposes children to healthy foods and teaches them about proper nutrition.

24/7 Web Portal

A recent study showed that significantly greater weight loss at follow-up was found among participants assigned to an interactive web portal versus those assigned to an information only web portal. ILWM’s proprietary web-portal tracks patients’ daily progress both during and after weight reduction program. Patients self-report weight, vitals, exercise, diet, psychological and behavioral information on a daily basis. The data is collected on an individual basis and provides a day-by-day record of the member’s real-world behavior, of individual success or failure. The members receive immediate graphical feedback on their progress, how they are tracking towards their goals, and can view lab results. ILWM collects the data in aggregate and mines it to determine best practices in treatment and to find the most effective ways to treat obesity.

Behavioral Program / Life Coaching

Our combination of Teamwork and Technology™ allows us to monitor your health and progress on a daily basis through our web-portal. In addition, our team of behavioralists have developed an innovative behavior modification program—based on clinical data—to ensure that our members internalize what they learn, to help identify triggers that most often lead to overeating, as well as how to best manage stressful situations. We are there to support our members every step of the way.

The ILWM Behavioral program also includes the services of a life coach. Life coaching is extremely useful in a family environment. The life coach will discuss family goals and develop ways to make these goals happen.

Parents and children sometimes have a hard time relating to each other, especially during those rebellious teenage years. A life coach can help family members mend fringed ties and grow closer to each other. This in turn can help family members keep each other accountable in making healthier lifestyle choices.

Weekly Weigh-in

In order to monitor the progress of our members, ILWM encourages weekly weigh-ins. A team member will assist each member in obtaining the weight, BMI, and other body composition data. This will allow our staff to track progress and determine whether the diet plan or exercise program needs to be modified.
