Copare - Tysons Weight Loss Center

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with the Copare Tysons team since December 2023. They are all fantastic and helped me achieve my goals in four months. While weight loss may be the initial focus (I’m down nearly 50 pounds), I am most satisfied with their approach to overall health and wellness. My primary coach and teammate Kurt was with me every step of the way and continues to be there for me now as I sustain a greater level of well being. You can’t put a price tag on that. 10 out of 10 for the Tysons Copare team.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kurt at Copare Tysons! As one of the best nutritional coaches in the area, Kurt not only offers expert guidance but also uses psychology to support you throughout your weight loss journey. Thanks to his coaching, I lost 57 lbs and saw a dramatic improvement in my health. The entire team at Copare Tysons is incredibly supportive, friendly, and always happy to see you. I've tried many other diet programs, but none compare to Copare. With Kurt’s help, you learn how to eat and when to eat for life, enjoying good food without ever feeling hungry. My husband also lost 20 lbs, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Kurt and the Copare Tysons team are true assets and will be there for you every step of the way! I think you could schedule a consultation appointment and right now they have special going on .

Fantastic experience: I had a very successful and positive experience with Copare. My coach Danielle, mentored me thru my 10 weeks on the program. My goal was to lose 10 lbs which I did. But I gained far more than that, in understanding the nutritional profile that works for me at my age to achieve my goals. Now in maintenance, I feel very prepared to take my journey from here using what I learned. I found the weekly in-person check-ins very useful and motivating. After a few weeks, I quickly discovered which Copare products I liked the best. I actually miss some of those products now! I had tried all kinds of diet and nutrition programs and nothing had worked for me as someone in my early 50s. Copare worked and taught me a great deal. I highly recommend this program to anyone willing to put in the work and follow the program to the letter. It was easier to follow than anything I've done in the past and I never felt hungry, so it never felt like a diet. Thank you Copare for this great experience!

Fantastic experience: I first explored Copare as an option in early 2023 but it wasn't a good time for me to make the investment. Fast forward to 2024 and I was able to commit the time and resources to this program for 3 months and I am SO glad I did. Working with my Coach Danielle was inspiring and encouraging. She really cared about me as a person and held me accountable in a loving way while incorporating the facts (what I was eating, was I maintaining muscle, retaining water, etc). I did the food/coaching option (no GL-P1) and it helped me release 15lbs. There is much more work I'd like to do, and I know I have a much more solid foundation ... so Copare served as a jump start to healthier habits and showed me I CAN move the needle. ***Quick note, if you're someone who likes to eat clean and monitor ingredients, the food you receive as part of the program may not be to your liking immediately. Talk to them about it and remember, if you're eating clean but you're unhealthy something isn't adding up... so perhaps eating these packaged/processed/portioned meals for a bit will feel weird but it will teach your body how to fuel correctly and appropriate portions.

Fantastic experience: COPARE has been such a positive experience— truly. The food is good, the support is great & the staff make it challenging but rewarding too. It’s been such a blessed experience for both my husband & me.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Danielle. I am vegan and while this program isn’t super vegan friendly Danielle worked with me to find solutions. I learned a lot through the process that I will carry with me for life and that is invaluable. Thank you Danielle and the Copare team!

Fantastic experience: So far, so good. The meal plan is easy to do without planning and the weekly check ups are good to make sure everything is going okay. I am 1/4 through accomplishing my initial fat loss goal of losing fat while not losing muscle.

Fantastic experience: I found my experience at Copare to be excellent. The entire staff is professional, caring, extremely responsive, especially Alison. They are very knowledgeable and want you to succeed. They will help you achieve your goals, it is a team effort. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Almost 4 weeks in and I’m already seeing results! Kurt and the whole team have been a huge help in my journey thus far

Fantastic experience: The program is meeting and is beyond my expectations. My personal health coach, Kurt Kasan is wonderful. A real professional.

Fantastic experience: Great experience at COPARE. The staff expertise and sense of caring is unparalleled. They are part of my journey, so I know I’m in good hands … I am seeing immediate results that are sustainable!!!

Fantastic experience: My experience has been tremendous. Like many others, I had put on "pandemic poundage," and not surprisingly, was feeling sluggish and out of it. I teamed up with Copare in Dec. 2021, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could actually lose weight safely, and KEEP IT OFF, and didn't have to eat like a squirrel to do so! Thanks to my coach Kurt, I learned how to eat smartly, and still enjoy "normal," delicious food. I've gotten a surprising education on the way some foods considered "healthy" really aren't. Even better, I've learned that a lot of foods that I figured were "too delicious to be nutritious," actually WERE good for me. The coaching, education, and support Copare has given me has allowed me to keep that extra 20 pounds off for a year and a half now, while never feeling hungry, or that I'm denying myself things. As a bonus, I have more energy, think clearer, and handle stress much better than before. I sincerely urge you to give Copare a try. Just figure hey, what's the worst that happens, I look and feel better?? Good problems to have, and thanks to Copare, that's the "burden" I carry now, lol

Fantastic experience: I'm another complete success with Copare. I cannot thank Kurt, my coach, and the entire Copare team enough. The program made something that seemed impossible within my reach. The food they provided mixed seamlessly with the vegetables and meat I provided, and the fact that I did not have to count anything - not calories or points or anything - made it so much easier than other programs. Like anything worthwhile, I had to commit to the program, but when I did, it really was easy. The pounds just fell off week after week and after six months, I lost 70lbs (my goal was 65). At the beginning, I thought I knew everything but just needed help with motivation and willpower, but by the end, I learned that there was a whole world of knowledge that I lacked. I now understand food and eating so much better, and with the free continuous coaching for life, I know I am never going back. I cannot recommend Copare (and Kurt) highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, helpful team committed to your success. Personal coaching to achieve individual goals and overcome challenges ensuring success.

Fantastic experience: Sadie at Tyson’s has been a friendly, knowledgeable source of encouragement for the last four months. I’m halfway to my goal thanks to her steady guidance and the program, which works great! The focus on the lifelong, healthy goals is exactly what my husband and I were looking for!

Fantastic experience: I have been with Copare (formerly EMP 180) for quite some time and really enjoy both the program and the results. While the entire the team at the Tyson’s location is great, Delaney who I work with each week is so supportive and also challenges me to get to the next level. This is not a gimmicky weight loss program. It’s a program that teaches nutrition and discipline so that once you reach your goal, you can stick with it going forward.

Fantastic experience: Great program and coaches. Not difficult to keep on track and real results.

Fantastic experience: CoPare is the BEST! I’m losing weight in a healthy way with help by my CoPare Coach Danielle. I’m so psyched! Thanks CoPare!

Fantastic experience: Copare is different. They not only offer a weight reducing food program but they provide coaching to help get you to your goals. My coach, Kurt, was very knowledgeable and supportive. Having Kurt encouraging me and explaining how the diet works was a big plus. The food selection is better than other protein based weight loss programs. Copare sets reasonable goals with your input. Then they monitor your progress weekly using a special weight scale to identify fat and muscle weight calculating the relevant factors involved with weight loss. Then their coach goes over the factors weekly explaining exactly where you are in the process. If you are serious about losing weight and will to work with Copare Coaches, you have a better chance of success than with other programs.

Fantastic experience: Without this program I would still be overweight, tired and feeling useless. Danielle is my rockstar!! 23 pounds down with 7 more to go. This program might take a hit to your wallet BUT it is worth every penny. The coaches are wonderful and are available anytime you need them.

Fantastic experience: The Copare experience not only met my expectations, but exceeded them with highly professional attention, advice, and follow-up. The program is tailored to meet your individual goals with weekly sessions and sophisticated equipment to measure progress. I highly recommend the program to those serious about losing weight safely with continuous personal and professional guidance.

Fantastic experience: I still can't believe how easy and enjoyable this program is!! I exceeded my personal goal and with the help of my amazing coaches (Danielle and Delaney) I am totally prepared to continue on my own. If you are ready to lose weight you cannot fail with EMP180!!!

Fantastic experience: I turned to Emp180 to lose some weight I’d put on during Covid. Having managed my weight successfully up to that point, I saw the program simply as a way to kickstart weight loss - I didn’t really expect to learn as much as I did or to be given a life long formula for maintaining muscle mass and low body fat. The coaches are dieticians and they are excellent. They work hard to help you find choices that fit your tastes and lifestyle. I was very satisfied with the experience and the results. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience. Much more than a weight loss program. A lifestyle change that teaches to understand how to eat healthy and fuel your body to maintain your weight. Lost over 50 lbs in 16 weeks over a year and half ago and maintaining what I lost. Thanks to my outstanding nutritionist Vanessa Spiller!!! I highly recommend EMP 180 if you’re looking to lose weight and improve your lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: The EMP Program and the team in Tysons, especially my coach, Vanessa Spiller, have been an incredible support for helping me achieve my weight loss and health goals this year. The support, encouragement, education and accountability that EMP provides through its personalized coaching and nutrition approach have enabled me to lose more weight and improve my health more than I thought was possible. With hard work and a positive team, I've learned that my weight loss journey doesn't have to take place in isolation. Thanks to EMP and my coach Vanessa, I'll be running my first 10k in over 3 years this Memorial Day. Any one who is looking to make real change and lose weight has to find the motivation within themselves first. But once that decision is made to make a change, EMP is the perfect partner to get you on a sound nutrition and weight loss plan to assist you in reaching your most ambitious goals!!!!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure to work with Kurt! This office is top notch! I'm so happy I found them!

Fantastic experience: Kurt is amazing to work with! I’m so glad I found this place, they’re really helping me reach my weight loss goals! Thank you guys so much!

Fantastic experience: I took off over 45 pounds from December '20 to late April '21 (Vanessa was my nutritionist) at the Woodbridge facility; an excellent experience. It involved becoming committed to the program and, as told, unlearning everything I thought I knew about food. I was never much into vegetables, but I decided that it was time to try something new. So I replaced my usual go-to dine out lunch selection of a burger and fries with a chicken Caesar salad and generally emphasizing protein over carbs. I also discovered that I like hummus, asparagus, cucumbers, olives, avocados and other stuff I had somehow convinced myself that I didn't care for. I also decided that it was time to get off of my Diet Coke and Coke habit of 30+ years and switch to flavored sparkling waters. As it turned out, this was not much of a sacrifice but repaid the minor effort in major health gains. Plain old water... good stuff. In fact, the program itself wasn't much of a sacrifice and I have now learned how to keep my blood sugar level at a more or less constant level throughout the day. (My body tells me when it wants protein.) I learned that this was a key to keep from overeating. So now I eat more smaller snacks and meals through the day rather than three big meals. It makes sense and, oftentimes, I find myself thinking, "What? Is it time to eat again?" The staff at EMP 180 in Woodbridge were unfailingly welcoming, positive and supportive, too. That helped a lot. But the big lesson here is up to you: You have to be ready to listen, learn and accept new things.

Fantastic experience: Loved the program and my coach Vanessa was amazing!

Negative experience: I thought there was a weekly fee. My potential coach kept telling me I was confused. Have to pay a month in advance. The price would be over $1,000 per month. I arrived early & no one came in or left for well over an hour. Not sure how they will make it. Definitely not for me.

Positive experience: While I enjoyed the coach Diana, this program was not for me. Initially I was turned off because I saw different people each week. I preferred having one, consistent coach which did occur eventually. Nevertheless, I have 4-months of food still sitting in bags. I found a program that worked better for me. So, if anyone wants to purchase these 4-months of food please let me know. I’m willing to sell them for 1/2 the price. Thanks! BTW, I saw the staff at the Rockville office.

Fantastic experience: "Simply put, the program works! I dropped 30 pounds (from 205 to 175) in 12 weeks. Now, 2 months after graduation, I still get comments at work every day!" The above was from when I first joined the program 2 years ago. I just went for a 2-year follow up as part of the free, lifetime benefit that allows me to check in whenever I want. I also got some free food from referring a couple of clients. Still managing to keep the weight off, and having the center available to check in is a really great benefit!

Fantastic experience: EMP180’s knowledgeable and dedicated staff has been awesome through the entire journey. I’ve learned more about food, macro nutrients, when to eat and, especially, what to eat. My coach is even working with me on how best to curb “stress eating”. I think the world of EMP180 and its staff.

Fantastic experience: I am a skeptical optimist and have watched my weight creep up over several job changes, aging and lots of dining out due to travel. Well the Covid 19 shutdown and lockdown saw my weight peak at 242 pounds! That was enough. I decided I had to do something and called the Ashburn EMP180 office in April. I spoke with Vance and then Colleen who explained the entire program to me. I told Colleen I wanted to get back to 200 pounds. She suggested that I enroll in a 13 week program. I said ok, and went to the office and picked up my first week of sample foods to try and see what I liked. I admit totally to being a picky eater and someone that really has embraced spice and textures in food. Colleen worked with me to figure out what foods they offer that I was ok with. Due to the shutdown, they sent a scale to my house that also has an associated app which tracks 13 various readings on body composition. My routine changed when I started on May 4th. Weigh every morning after I shower for consistent time and measurements to track progress. To say the least, the program works, and weight was burning off at a rate faster than I expected. The first week I was down over eight pounds then the weight loss settled into an average of approximately 3.5 pounds a week. Sure, I plateaued a few times but the average is what it is. 12 weeks in I am now down 44 pounds and the weight is still coming off. I am transitioning to real food again and am very optimistic that with the continuous coaching from Colleen and Eloisa, I will maintain the weight loss or perhaps even go for the bonus 10 pounds to 190. Eloisa thought it was funny that I created an excel workbook and track all of the various parameters the scale measures. I also created a sheet that tracked my weight gains going back to 1988 so when we had our weekly check-ins it became a topic of conversation as to what year I was at in my weight loss. As of this writing, I am back to my 1995-96 weight! Finally, I had to actually contact my cardiologist to have my blood pressure medicine dosage reduced due to the weight loss. Do I feel better? I think I do. Would I recommend this to someone? Yes, but you really must go all-in with your commitment for this to really work. Did I cheat on the diet? Not really, only went out and ate a non-diet meal once at about the 10th week. Amazingly, by then I could only eat half of the entrée due to the weight loss and shrinkage of my stomach. And I had two unexpected consequences of the weight loss. First, many people really started to notice about week six and asked me if I was OK and if I was sick. I told them I am using the lockdown to my advantage by dieting and getting rid of fat I had been thinking about doing. And second, none of my belts fit anymore and I had to go get a leather punch to add holes to the belts I have to continue using them! Now to get better fitting clothes!

Negative experience: the commercial for this place is disgusting

Negative experience: I am so angry, so mad at this place, few nights ago I try have some information about this business and how it’s work, so I put my basic information includes my cell number on their online application, BIG MISTAKE , from that moment I am receiving text from different places , this is very unprofessional to pass applicant information to unknown business

Fantastic experience: The team at EMP is AWESOME!! I am down over 55 pounds. They have worked with me and supported me every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: I lost 33 lbs in 11 weeks and feel the best I have in YEARS! Had my annual physical afterwards and all of the "numbers" improved as well. The best news is that in the two months since I "graduated" from the program, I've kept it off with the lessons and habits I learned. And that is with being at HOME for the past five weeks due to the pandemic...and with the refrigerator and pantry calling my name all day every day! I'm not "listening" to them. :) It really worked for me...and CONTINUES to work as I'm applying the lessons learned. Thanks to Kurt and the entire EMP180 team in Tysons!

Fantastic experience: Very positive experience all around. The team helps to motivate and keep you engaged, and once you get into a groove, the food is satisfying. I was was obese, and now I'm just fat. Soon to have a healthy BMI -- and reduced BP, hopefully -- if I only stay the course. Thanks, EMP180!

Fantastic experience: OK, so I initially did the 12-week regiment at EMP 180, and lost 25 pounds. That was before the 2019 holidays. The, during the holidays, I sort of fell off the wagon and gained back 9 pounds. Two weeks ago, I started back on EMP 180 and, shazam!, I'v already lost 4.5 pounds. EMP 180 just WORKS! The key is to listen to the wellness counselors about how to eat properly after leaving the program and resist temptation. Bread and pasta are my weaknesses, but … I'm gonna stick with it, bc there's nothing worse than doing all that work and seeing the pounds climb back onto my hips and gut! EMP 180 rocks!

Fantastic experience: I don't understand how people can give a review without even trying the system. It's giving a review on a car without ever even driving it. Some people just love to complain. I'm on the EMP180 system and have been for 3 mos. I'm at a 46 lb weight loss so far and only a couple more pounds to go. The system teaches you more than just buying shakes and starving yourself. I had a junk food addiction and was eating out many times a day. The cost of the system is less than what I was spending eating out. My energy is way up again and I've been held accountable by the staff at EMP180. Some of us need a coach to change our lifestyle. I have sparked the interest of many coworkers and friends and I've encouraged a few to join, they are having success as well. To me it's a personal investment and I have zero regrets. My blood pressure has gone way and being able to tie me shoes without holding my breath is a relief. Im not a fan of leaving reviews unless they are well deserved and in my opinion EMP180 is well deserving of positive reviews.

Fantastic experience: EMP 180 Rockville is the best. I lost > 30 pounds of fat. It’s all about body composition not just what the scale says. The staff is credentialed, empathetic, motivating, and most importantly, focused on your personal long-term health. Looking forward to maintenance and continuing to build on my success. I do feel empowered and have turned my life around 180 degrees. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: 60 pounds! Incredible, and impossible without the help of the crew at the Rockville EMP 180. I feel incredibly better, sleep better, aches and pains are gone. I can't get over the change and with the tips and help from the EMP staff, I have learned new behavior patterns that give me confidence I won't return to my past weight. My deep and sincere thanks to Serena, Leandra, Diana, Chris, Alison and Kim. You have been encouraging, affirming and your knowledge and tips on nutrition, diet, and body chemistry helped more than you know. The EMP system absolutely works, but its the team that bring it home and help make mine a success story.

Fantastic experience: My experience has been extremely positive. Last month I completed a 7 week program at the Rockville location. I lost 17 pounds of fat (18 pounds total) in those 7 weeks. More importantly, with the help of their program and counselors I have been changing my relationship with food, which has been a lifelong battle for me. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. The atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing. The InBody scale they have is also extremely motivating, especially for a data-hound like me. Yesterday I had a 4 week post-"graduation" visit and lost another 6 pounds (of fat) on my own. I'm continuing to eat healthy and lose weight on my own and will have another check-in after another 8 weeks. As others have said, it's not inexpensive, but the investment in my health has been worth it given the results I've experienced. I had tried every diet under the sun over the past 20 years, lost and gained, but this is the first time I feel differently about food after 3 months in. I'll include a follow-up post in a few more months as to how it's continuing to go. One thing I recommend is some type of mindfulness activity in conjunction with the diet program. I've been using the app, "Eat Right Now" which is a great complement to EMP 180's program. This has helped me to better know when I'm craving food out of hunger or other reasons such as boredom or stress, which are the ultimate causes of my challenges with food over the years. Whatever path you choose I wish you success.

Fantastic experience: The program works. I am transitioning to maintenance phase now and have lost 30 lbs and my body fat percentage is dramatically improved. I was initially disappointed that the first phase of the program was powdered rather than whole foods, but soon realized this made the process very easy. I worked primarily with Vanessa who struck the perfect balance of support and accountability. The entire staff seemed invested in my success and that was very gratifying. I learned a great deal about nutrition and am much more confident that the changes I have made will be long standing. Yes it is expensive, but the cost of not taking control of your health is much higher.

Fantastic experience: Yes, it is expensive! But what is the price you put on your own health? Vanessa helped me identify some pitfalls that have stood in the way of me having weight loss success. She worked with me to identify what my body needed daily to keep me healthy and gave me confidence to trust the process! Her counsel was key in changing some destructive habits, and her advice concerning nutritional changes put me on a path to success! I’m grateful to Vanessa and EMP 180 for putting me on a path to success!

Fantastic experience: Excellent program. Have lost 40 lbs. Rarely hungry because diet is high protein, low fat, low sugar, low carb. Coaching is excellent (Danielle is fantastic). I am glad I signed on to this program.

Fantastic experience: EMP 180 exceeded my expectations. Two years ago I joined and followed the program and went to the weekly check ins. I lost over 30% of my body weight in 10 months and have kept it off. I never felt like I was hungry or missing food. I don’t look at this as a diet but a change in lifestyle. I keep up with my monthly maintenance appointments for accountability and support.

Fantastic experience: Folks are very friendly and do a great job explaining how the program works and what you need to focus on. For the most part, the food is actually pretty good and there is enough variety to exclude the items you don’t enjoy. I’m only on my second week but have a lot of confidence In the program and am looking forward to the new me and better health!

Fantastic experience: I am so thrilled with the results of the EMP180 Plan. In 5 weeks I have lost 15.2 pounds! I love the meals. I love the fact that I eat 6 times a day and I am not hungry at any time! I follow the plan and it works great! This is so important for my well being and to adopt healthy life style for many years to come! I'll keep going until I graduate and then follow the maintenance! Worth it!

Fantastic experience: I did a ten week diet twice and went from 293 to 252 the first time then from 252 to 225 now. I feel amazing. Blood pressure is much lower. No dizziness or tingling any more. Total cost around five grand. Totally worth it because it was the only thing that worked, and the weight stays off after the program. Too-notch and consider it an investment in yourself. The staff is superb at Tyson’s and Allison is a stellar manager. Infinity stars.

Fantastic experience: Never could get below my “set point” of 170. At 162 and headed lower to my goal of 145. Even lost a lb at Jazz Fest! And that’s the richest food on the planet. Go for it and be

Fantastic experience: I am five weeks in on the plan and have lost about 23 pounds without any changes to my lifestyle or any additional exercise. If you have the discipline to not cheat on the diet, I believe it would work for anyone. The team is fantastic and supportive and I will be forever thankful for them making me normal size again!

Fantastic experience: Partnering with EMP 180 was the best money I have ever spent. I have lost over 30 lbs in 9 weeks and dropped my body fat percentage from over 31% to 22%. I feel awesome mentally and physically and see nutrition and eating habits in an entirely new light. That is what will make keeping the weight off so much easier than the fad diets. I highly recommend anyone that needs to change their life to sit down with the nutritionists at EMP and discuss a plan and if you know anyone personally who has gone through the process please take the time to listen to them about their experience.

Fantastic experience: The staff at this location are top notch, well educated and supportive. I am less of a fan of the powdered food approach initially but think it may help with modifying habits and behaviors related to diet and nutrition. Staff has continued to be supportive in the maintenance phase where whole foods are utilized. This later part of the program is crucial to continued success. Kudos!

Fantastic experience: What a great experience inside a stone quarry. Nice sound system too.

Fantastic experience: The service so far has been incredible the concept is really good and they are very knowledgeable so far in the 2 days I have been with them.

Fantastic experience: What a transformation!!!! I lost over 50 lbs of body fat.. Thanks to Alexa and the wonderful team at Tysons for working with me to shed 50 lbs and making me look fit again! I was not so sure if I could do this being a vegetarian. They do have vegan/vegetarian products... Overall it was well worth it. I have already recommended to a few friends and i see them started to lose weight in a healthy way.. I definitely recommend this program..

Fantastic experience: Fantastic approach to losing weight and educating yourself about nutrition. I lost 40 lbs in 4 months and have kept it off for 4 months. If you can be disciplined you will succeed with this program.

Fantastic experience: What makes EMP180 unique is not just it's obvious success in helping clients lose weight but equally important it's grad/maintenance program which prevents the ups and downs after losing weight and successfully teaches the basics for eating a healthy balanced diet. Through outstanding coaching, whether it be in person or by e-mail or phone, even the most basic questions are encouraged and answered. The written materials are outstanding with volumes of pages detailing the macros (protein/fat/carbs/fiber) for various vegetables, meats, diary products, seafood, nuts, seeds, beans and fruit. Specific suggestions are made for protein rich snacks and meals that can be purchased at local stores, amazon, etc. Thank you EMP180 for changing my life!!

Fantastic experience: The folks at EMP are awesome! They are so encouraging and knowledgable. Every aspect of your weight loss journey is important to them. Whether you gain muscle or loose a pound, they are your biggest supporters!

Fantastic experience: I rarely post reviews, but feel compelled to share my experience with the EMP 180 program because it has been a game changer for me in terms of getting to a healthy body composition. I use this term instead of "weight loss" because on this program you will learn the significant difference between the two. At EMP 180 you are coached through an individualized program based on your own body's fat (including your level of visceral fat), muscle, and water composition. The information you gain from the weekly InBody scans and the expertise of your coach is eye-opening. I quickly learned that during every weight loss experience I had in the past, it was very likely that I lost more muscle than fat each time I found myself pleased by the lower number on my scale. It's no wonder that with a decreasing metabolic rate, it was much harder for me to keep the weight off. At EMP 180 I learned the integral tools to building and protecting muscle mass while also decreasing my fat percentage. And, in addition to reaching your body composition goal and getting unlimited access to EMP 180 coaching and tools, you will graduate with a wealth of knowledge that will help you stay healthy throughout your lifetime. I am deeply grateful for Raechel's guidance and expertise, as well as the rest of the team in Ashburn. Their friendliness and sincere interest in my success made each weekly visit not just motivating, but a pleasure.

Fantastic experience: I never do these but I felt compelled in this case, bottom line is it works. And I am nearly half a year removed and I kept the weight off and have the tools to lose if I need to. It is expensive but I justify it by how much would you pay for the health benefits associated with dropping 25 pounds in my case

Fantastic experience: EMP180 is the ONE stop shop for all your weight loss needs. They give you food, counseling, and have top of the line machinery. I lost 25 pounds and feel empowered! The staff here take a 360 degree approach towards your customized weight journey. You will not only see physical changes, but will have a live counselor to battle all the psychological hurdles you may have. Out of the plethora of weight loss programs I have tired in my journey, where I lose but hopelessly gain, this is the final destination for me. They focus not on your BMI (which is old school!) but on actual advanced biometrics and look at your body composition analysis! While we all come from different walks of life, and have various struggles, EMP180 should be the modern approach and way. In terms of methodology, they give you 5 snacks/meals a day and ensure you are prepared for success. It is one of the best investments you will make! I cut out my Starbucks and snacking habits, so I ended up saving long term by eliminating unhealthy habits. Lastly, Allison, the manager, is a great visionary and knowledgeable coach! She has your back, no matter what, on sunny (and rainy) days.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great program. Easy to follow and it definitely works!

Fantastic experience: What would you say if I told you that you could lose 170 lbs. in 8 months? What if I told you that you could do it eating six times a day, never being hungry once and eating in a restaurant at least four times a week? You would probably call me a liar, but that is precisely what I just did on EMP 180! My name is Drew, and I began the EMP 180 weight loss program on 8/23/2018. At the time, I was a 44 YO old father of 2. My kids were 5 and 8, and I was a General Manager of a restaurant for almost the entirety of the time I was on the program. For those looking for the facts, I am 5’9” and started the program at 368.8 lbs. My body fat percentage was 46.4% and my visceral fat level was unreadable (on a scale of 1-20). As I write this, I am 201.2 lbs. with a body fat percentage of 13.3% and a visceral fat level of 5 (I “graduate” tomorrow! Go to yelp to read my review!

Fantastic experience: For years I've been on Atkins, Keto and other eating plans to try to find a way to lose weight and establish an approach to eating that would help me keep weight off and be sustainable. I could only get so far on Keto and it left me craving carbs. With EMP 180 I got the coaching, food and accountability I needed to push through some of the previous barriers and I'm still going. I'm down to 14.5% body fat (at age 57) and going for 10%. I'm wearing jean sizes I've not fit into in 30 years. My knees and joints feel better and I've got a lot more energy. If you're tired of the ups and downs, trials and failures on eating plans that have not provided the transformation you've been looking for, go to EMP 180 and learn about their approach to see if its for you. I'd give 6 stars if it was an option, good luck!

Negative experience: I had to pay them $30 for them to tell me I am fat and need to spend $5,900 on their 26 week plan. I'll just read a book and do it myself. Grant & Danny go off the plan for a weekend and they gain 8 pounds! This isn't rocket science. Save your 6k and read a keto book.

Fantastic experience: As a recent graduate I cannot say enough about the program, staff, and life change I experienced at EMP180 in Tysons VA. In 10 months I lost 100 pounds and feel incredible! The program really worked for me and helped guide me through my food choices whether that was EMP180 provided food, whole foods I purchased, healthy snacks, or eating out. Though the program is not inexpensive it was worth every penny and when I add up spending less on groceries, reducing the times and quantity of food eating out, and cutting out all of the junk food and sodas, the price is more reasonable than you would think. The caring and professional staff supported and encouraged me every step of my journey and continue to do so. I could not have achieved my goal without them. Love you all! Best of all, I now have the strength and energy to participate in all of the activities that I used to enjoy. And this new healthy lifestyle will allow me to enjoy a longer and fuller future with my family and friends. Thank you EMP180!

Fantastic experience: I don’t have enough good things to say about EMP180. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and the program is simple to follow. All I’ve done since starting with EMP180 is to follow the program to the letter, take all the suggestions from their nutritionists, and reap unbelievable results. I’ve lost over 90 pounds in 5 months and continue to have large losses each week. I’m healthier, I feel better, and I look better. I knew about EMP180 for a long time before I walked through the door the first time and all I can say is I wish I had started sooner. It’s super simple, super effective, and it has changed my life. The program has given me a new and informed outlook on nutrition and how to properly fuel my body now and into the future. If you’re thinking about it, just do it. It will change your life.

Fantastic experience: EMP 180 has changed my life. I have lost over 50 lbs on the program and more importantly I have learned so much about about nutrition and how to fuel my body effectively. After struggling with my weight for few years (especially after having kids and a Being diagnosed as pre-diabetic) I knew something had to change. From the moment I stepped into EMP 180 I knew the program was different from everything else I had tried (other diets, strict work outs). The ladies at the Rockville awesome are amazing - always so cheerful and encouraging! I appreciate the weekly check-ins - helps me stay on track and get my questions answered. Having my body composition done weekly is also so rewarding and informative. The difference with this program is that you are able to get visible results quickly and then you are able to learn how to sustain your progress. If you are looking to totally transform your life, give EMP 180 a try.

Fantastic experience: My name Taylor and when I started EMP180 I weighed 287lbs. I was overweight growing up (despite playing sports year round) and I struggled to control my weight all throughout high school. In my freshman year of college I lost about 60lbs due to a strict diet of Caesar salad and working out for an hour a day, a regimen that was fueled by feeling like the DUFF (designated ugly fat friend) among my female friends. I ditched those friends for other reasons, but the weight slowly crept back on over the net 5 years, until I had gained ~110lbs back. When it all come back, I felt EXHAUSTED all the time. A flight of stairs, walking a block to get lunch, lifting anything heavier than 20lbs was all a struggle. I hit my breaking point in July of 2018. I attended a wedding with my boyfriend, and we took some pictures with the bride and groom. I didn’t, and still don’t recognize myself in those pictures. I HATED how I looked. I realized that I didn’t want to look at my own engagement or wedding photos and feel that way! I started researching weight loss programs after I got home from that trip and found EMP180. The appointment schedule was flexible, and you meet with the staff every week to keep you on track and accountable. That’s exactly what I needed! I’ve lost 80lbs since I started the program in July. I’m still shooting to lose another 30lbs, and I know everyone at EMP180 is cheering me on! The ladies at Rockville especially have been instrumental at keeping me motivated during my rough weeks, and celebrating my successes. And I know they will help me keep it OFF this time around! To anyone considering joining EMP180: If you put in the effort of following this program, it will change you inside and out! It will challenge you physically and mentally, but you WILL come out stronger for it. It’s been a complete lifestyle change for me, and I’m forever grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received here. Thank you EMP180!

Negative experience: After a $35 consultation and a 5 month plan last September 2018 and a $1100/ month price tag I opted to do Atkins again. Well I am now down 36lbs without EMP 180. It’s all about discipline and reward. Exercise 5 days a week for at least 1 1/2 hours each day and low carb ( less than 10 grams per day). First two weeks suck but then it is pain free and routine. Going to lose 25 more starting today.

Fantastic experience: Friendly people

Fantastic experience: The program has been great and I cant say enough good things about Raechel, my nutritionist counsellor, who has been a great support and resource from Day 1. Highly recommend EMP 180 to anyone serious about committing to weight loss and better health!

Fantastic experience: I have lost over 30 lbs and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with the diet.

Fantastic experience: My counselor has been fantastic in helping me navigate this journey. I look forward to my weekly check-ins.

Fantastic experience: EMP180 is an incredible option if you can swing the price, and I believe it is definitely worth every penny. The staff members are all so great and many of them go above and beyond what I would normally expect. They always greet me with a big smile and a lot of energy, which I appreciate. They are extremely excited for you when you are successful and hold you accountable without making you feel ashamed when you don't have one of your better weeks. It is a great atmosphere with knowledgeable staff and a great product. I would recommend this to anyone but especially those of you who feel like nothing works and you have just resigned yourself to the fact that it isn't worth the effort. I have never been as successful on any other program and I have tried a lot of different things. Give it a shot! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Every visit has been informative and rewarding. I am half way through the 14 week program and am very pleased with the results particularly my weight loss and tremendous improvement in my blood sugar numbers. I am a type 2 diabetic and in only 7 weeks my average mg/dL has dropped from the 160’s to the mid 80’s. Feeling more energetic and the personalized attention is special. The entire staff is welcoming and caring. Highly recommend this program for everyone looking to get healthy.

Positive experience: Like the program, like the people but way to expensive!

Fantastic experience: I have just completed 7 weeks on the emp180 program and have reached my goal percentage body fat, and goal of visceral fat -- I have technically "graduated". Both of these goals were determined at the first visit with the team at emp180, which cost me 30$. My goal weight was also determined at this initial visit, and it is my understanding that the total cost of the program was based on the amount of weight that I was to lose. This weight loss amount was determined with my input, and the expert knowledge of the staff. At the conclusion of the initial visit, the employees simply show you a table with the overall cost as a function of the weight you need to lose, and the amount of time it should take, on average -- a fair system in retrospect, given that the program provides you all meals and snacks for the duration of your plan, with the exception of your 2 cups of your vegetables at lunch, and your protein and vegetables at dinner. It also includes weekly weighins and coaching, and it is at these weekly visits that they replenish your food supply. So it is true that they won't give you a cost over the phone, but they will if you go in and spend 30$ and about 30 minutes. For the past 20+ years - I repeat, 20+ years - I have been exercising off and on with great intensity, and have attempted several other diets, including Jenny Craig. While I have had some success, the weight always returns, and I have never actually reached my goal, or felt that I had been properly educated to make a definitive shift in my life, health and appearance long term. Additionally, my athletic performance as it relates to my excess weight never improved, because I wasn't truly attending to the all important side of health that is nutrition. I am now seeing weights on the scale every morning that I haven't seen since college (I am 51 yo). And perhaps most importantly, and this is the real hook of this program, I am certain that I will keep the weight off, because included in the fee you pay for the program is a lifetime maintenance feature. The staff educates you leading up to your graduation, and they then have you return, at least once per month, for life, for weigh ins and coaching as needed. So I rarely write reviews -- in fact, I can count on one hand the number of times that I have been moved enough by the product, experience, and customer service of an organization to share my feelings on it with the public. This is different - this is a 180. We all know that central to our happiness is our physical and mental health. In today's world, I find that there are too many choices in health related endeavors to allow proper focus, and more difficult still is finding an ally that you can trust to help you stay true to, and to attain, your goal. And I think that the value of our health, in comparison to all other things we work on day to day, cannot be overstated. And so if you are seriously looking to invest in yourself and to lose the weight and to start taking care of yourself - which allows you to take better care of those around you - this is the place. EMP180 works, the cost is significant but fair, and the people are genuine. Make the call.

Fantastic experience: Well trained and knowledgeable that are friendly and helpful and the diet works without being hungry or having crevings.

Negative experience: Too expensive for shakes and soups.Not worth the price.

Fantastic experience: Great program! Upbeat atmosphere. Very positive. Totally changed my attitude about dieting and food.
