Will2Lose Weight LOSS Fitness Club Helps Transform Overweight Individuals into 'The Biggest Winners'

SCARSDALE, N.Y., May 26, 2011 -- Exercise expert Dr. Vito DiMatteo's prescription for weight loss begins with the well-established essentials: proper nutrition and a fitness regimen. But at his Will2Lose Weight LOSS Fitness Club (http://www.will2lose.com), Dr. DiMatteo adds motivation and support to the mix to ensure the most sustainable and effective weight loss program for his clients.

Based in Scarsdale, the city with a diet named after it, Will2Lose is more than just about dieting. What makes Will2Lose different from other gyms or weight loss programs, says Dr. DiMatteo, is that it is the first health club developed specifically for people who are overweight. He says 90 percent of the club's members are overweight.

Dr. DiMatteo says that when members walk into his health club, they won't find a lot of bare midriffs and rock-hard abs. Instead, they will see a lot of other people just like them, who are serious about losing weight.

"There is a huge comfort level in our club," he said. "Members can focus on their weight loss goals instead of worrying what others think about them." The members offer support for each other, which is why Will2Lose holds both individual and group sessions on nutrition, weight loss and lifestyle modifications.

Will2Lose designs all aspects of its program specifically for overweight individuals. At other clubs, he explains, the machines and classes can be overwhelming. At Will2Lose, however, a weight loss and fitness plan is tailored to match each member's ability level.

His methods appear to be working. Since Will2Lose opened March 1, the average weight loss of its members is 15-18 pounds. DiMatteo says this is because the club emphasizes healthy weight loss - "no gimmicks, no crazy weight loss."

The health club also offers some unique features, such as an organic smoothie bar, programs for kids and seniors, and a far-infrared sauna. DiMatteo says Will2Lose is the first facility in the area to offer the sauna on a large scale. He explains that the sauna trains one's metabolism to be more efficient by heating the body, not the air. DiMatteo says that spending just 45 minutes in the sauna can burn 800 calories. "But we're not about the quick fix," he emphasizes.

Will2Lose promotes lifestyle changes that members adopt for the rest of their lives. "This is real weight loss reinforced by long-term change," says DiMatteo. He says he has seen a transformation in members since they first walked into his health club. "Working out is the highlight of their day now. They never thought this was possible. It's because we make it a lot of fun. We're compassionate. We make them believe in themselves."

Will2Lose is currently offering a new member special that waives the enrollment fee as well as fees for nutrition/lifestyle consultation and health assessment.
