What have participants said about the program?

“ I participated in both of Elmwood’s Biggest Loser programs in 2008. Since January 2008, I have gone from 282 pounds to 210 pounds, a 48˝ waist to 36˝, and from an XXL shirt size to a L. My trainer motivates me by making exercise fun and challenging. The nutrition lectures are extremely beneficial in helping my wife Laurie and I make informed lifestyle decisions.”
