Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers, now known as WW International, is a global wellness company that offers various products and services to assist in healthy weight loss and maintenance, fitness, and mindset. Founded in 1963, it has become one of the most recognised and respected brands in the field of weight management.

The company’s philosophy revolves around a holistic approach to health and wellness, emphasising sustainable lifestyle changes rather than short-term dieting. Weight Watchers is best known for its weight loss program, which uses a points system to guide users towards healthier eating choices, encouraging foods that are lower in calories and higher in nutrition. The program also incorporates physical activity and mental well-being, recognizing the interconnection of these factors in overall health. Weight Watchers’ relationship to health and wellness is significant; it has been influential in shaping public perceptions about weight loss, promoting a balanced approach to diet and lifestyle changes.

The brand’s evolution to focus more broadly on overall wellness reflects a shift in the health and fitness industry towards more comprehensive, lifestyle-oriented health solutions. They are also making recent strides into providing digital wellness solutions by providing online tools for managing weight loss and have launched a new GLP-1 Programme designed for people who are using weight loss prescription medication.
