Weight Watchers Meetings with Monthly Pass
The monthly pass is a good choice for employees at any Kent State campus who want to try Weight Watchers but do not want a lengthy commitment. The monthly pass gives you greater control and flexibility to determine what works best with your schedule. You can attend an “at work” meeting or take advantage of unlimited access to meetings in your community. You will also be able to use e-tools to track weight, find great recipes and more. The monthly cost for a pass is $39.95, which is discounted from the price you would pay if you enrolled at a community meeting. Weight Watchers at Work sessions are offered on the Kent Campus, every Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. in the Heer Hall Training Room.
Weight Watchers Online
Employees may choose to follow the Weight Watchers program entirely online for a monthly cost of $19.95.This gives faculty and staff the convenience of following the program at their own pace, from any location. There are tailored websites for men and women, interactive tools to track eating habits and activity, and access to more than 1,500 recipes.
