I started with awaken 180 in 2020. I went through the program a couple times and keeping focused on your goals and watching portion control after you leave as extremely important. The initial program is about 12-1300 per month. I first signed up to lose 25 pounds and I was extremely successful. That was a two month. With the price tag of $2400. I've been able to maintain that by going to free monthly sessions to keep me focused. Without those I probably would have regained everything. You get one on one counseling on your maintenance. Always had success scheduling with no issues. They can provide you great input as well as your monthly printout to see where you're at. read more

Type of care: great Office: supportive and encouraging like great cheerleaders! 7 weeks into program: vomiting end of week one followed by diarrhea for about 48 hours. Week three: no bowel movement for 5 days. Scared, worried, confused. Signed up for 4 months: $4,500. Hindsight is best sight. Weight loss after 7 weeks...about 10 pounds. read more

Cannot say enough about Awaken 180! Thanks to my coach Mandy and dedication, I lost 70 pounds in just over 6 months. I had GIVEN UP on weight loss and decided to try Awaken 180 after a colleague had great success. My daughter is doing great as well with over 30 lbs. lost, and is a Type 1 diabetic. You will find the foods you like and the shakes and crisps were my favorites. With accountability, tracking and coaching you will see HOW your body loses weight. For example, I would hit a plateau and stay there for 3 weeks, then gain 4 lbs and then drop! This happened 3 times. When you track and understand how YOU lose weight you won't become discouraged. As to the cost, you have to buy food anyway. How about the costs of being fat and unhealthy? And lifetime maintenance? How do you beat that? This time last year (Spring 2024) I was fat and very depressed over my appearance and my doctors were riding me as I was almost 230 lbs. I am now 70 lbs. lighter and feel great as a 61 year old white male, within 5 lbs of my high school weight. And women are all over me again! However I am married to the love of my life who supported me and encouraged me and she owns me. My wife is gorgeous and people no longer look at us and think, "What is SHE doing with HIM?" EVERYONE wants to look as attractive as possible and being attractive to your significant other is very important, IMHO. You know you are fat. I was in the same boat. But with Awaken 180 you've got this! Absolutely a game and life changer. Of course, her boyfriend was upset when she stopped seeing him as the weight came off, but that's his problem. And that statement was a joke. I cannot say enough great things about Awaken 180 and give out their cards. read more

Why should you have to pay $25 for an explanation on how the system works. yes you get credit for that $25. But only if you enroll in their plan if you don't like it, you're out $25. That's a bunch of BS usually a business will tell you how they work before they start charging you a penny. I think they are losing a lot of customers like this. And they won't even tell you how much a membership or being a client is unless you get the stupid $25 consultation. Unacceptable and unprofessional. read more

Visited for consultation, as I needed help to lose about 20 pounds. Was refused help, as I am not obese. Bottom line: if you have a serious weight problem (obesity), then you can consider this program. Otherwise, there is no middle ground - they will not help with nutrition and emotional support. Sad and distressing, as every person is different and would certainly benefit from customization. It seems that this program is an "one size fits all" approach (which can be dangerous). I left super-disappointed and disheartened, and will not recommend it to anyone. read more

Awaken180 Weightloss - Weight Loss Centers Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

As a follow up, I have been off the program for a couple of years now. I felt I had to respond to some of the reviews I have seen about Awaken180. I absolutely agree that the 25.00 for a Saturday appointment is exuberant and should be credited back if the individual decides upon the program but if someone can afford the program, the fee for the Saturday appointment is not going to break anyone. The food is prepackaged powder and shakes supplemented with my own choice of protein and vegetables. The powder maybe available on line which is fine if you choose that method but I prefer to have someone walk me through the process. I like the one-to-one interaction, even if I have different consultants each week. Everyone one has their own style so I pick up different pointers by having a variety of consultants. I have had better success with some of the employees over others. I did go for a tune-up during my two years with Awaken180. I think I lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. I dropped an additional 10 pounds afterwards on their maintenance program so both their program and their follow-up does work if you stick with it. The question is really how bad do you want to loose the weight. I made the commitment to stick with the plan and it has paid off for me. read more

I have previously left this review on Google, but I want to add it here on Yelp. I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to my weekly sessions. The coaches in Newton are supportive, attentive, and knowledgeable. If you stick to the program and listen to the coaches, you'll be successful. I would recommend Awaken180 to anyone who struggles with weight loss. P.S. I lost 100 lbs the first time I was on the program. However, I didn't follow the advice of my coaches and veered way off the maintenance path. So now I'm back on the program (100% my fault), but I'm already down 29.6 lbs in 6 weeks. So, while I can understand why some find the program financially burdensome because it's a "premium weight loss service," IT WORKS! For example, I've struggled with my weight for 25 years, and it even hindered my Army Reserve career. However, Awaken180 helped me solve a two and a half decade problem in only six months! read more

YEAR ONE REVIEW Awaken 180 has proven to work for me. I am at the one year mark and the results have been no less than amazing. One year ago when I (finally) made my appointment to learn about Awaken 180 my key stats were: Weight: 226.6 Body Fat: 27.5% Visceral Fat: 15 I had reached obesity. I met with Kiley who told me that with a 6 week program I would enter a healthy range. I was skeptical, but knew a few people who had success with the program, so I signed up. Six weeks later, Kiley was right, my numbers improved and moved to a healthy area. I decided to extend the program by 2 weeks (my choice) and at the end of February moved into maintenance with the following key stats: Weight: 197.2 Body Fat: 21.8% Visceral Fat: 12 During maintenance I continued to check in with the coaches monthly, and continued to follow their guidance as I worked towards my ideal goals. At the one year mark I can proudly say that by following the Awaken 180 program including the advice of the amazing coaches in Newton I am down to a place I have not seen since high school some 48 years ago.... Yesterday at my maintenance appointment my key stats were: Weight: 178 Body Fat: 16.5% Visceral Fat: 10 Thanks to my coaches and the Awaken 180 program in one year I have, in a very healthy way, shed close to 50 pounds along with that all important loss of unhealthy fat. My eating habits have changed and I feel great! I highly recommend Awaken 180 to anyone who wants to get to a healthy place again. Just follow the program and advice you receive and you too can get to your desired goals in a short period of time! read more

I recently completed my program at 180. In 18 weeks I lost 30 lbs, which was about 20% of my total weight. It was VERY pricy, overall several thousands of dollars, but I believe it 100% was worth it. There was a large selection of foods that I could pick for my daily products and it they were easy to travel with. However, what made this program so good was the staff. They are AMAZING. Whenever I had a question (if that was what I should order at a restaurant, if a product was okay, ect ect) they replied within minutes. In the studio, they took the time to get know you and help you along the way. Now that I am on maintenance, and no longer needing the products, they are still there to answer my questions. For someone who needs that extra help losing the extra pounds and making better choices, I would highly recommend this program. read more

After my consultation, I discovered it was going to cost over $3600 to lose 35 lbs. I am sure some individuals who make six figure salaries actually lose weight. The cost of this program is ridiculous and it is designed for the privileged. read more

You will need to take out a personal LOAN just to be able to afford this program. The food/snack offered is pure junk food with high sodium & sugar content. In my opinion, it is not worth it. Better to prepare your own healthy food choices at home. My advice to anyone who needs to lose less than 25 pounds like me is stop eating out, buy fresh non ultra processed foods, and prepare meals at HOME. read more

This program is both easy to follow and works! Coaches are tremendous. I liked the food and liked the Wright loss even more!

Elissa, as well as Peter, Mike and Kate of the Awaken 180 West Hartford, CT Team are super awesome with their coaching, counseling, compassion and empathy. They provide me so much more than just feedback on my weight loss journey. I can honestly say I get true love from all of them. My record still has me down by 23 pounds since I started in January, but I should be much farther. That's on me. Life sometime gets messy and I fall off the Awaken180 protocol. I decided to continue the program because I know it works. I lost 9 pounds the first week. The West Hartford Team keeps me motivated with support, understanding and, most important, drives me to complete what I started. Thanks West Hartford Team!! Awaken180 is very fortunate to have you in the company. Peter Kelly read more

When I had my 25.00 non- refundable consultation, I found out it was going to cost me $7060.00 for 6 months on this program. Now I know why the only people I hear talking about it are celebrities. They never mention the price and I am sure they are getting it for free or at least being paid for saying how wonderful it is on the radio. Have almost stopped listening to the radio program that finds it so wonderful. I stopped eating wheat and have already lost 25 pounds. read more

I can't believe this place is still an operating business. Such a scam. First of all, I told them I was a Type 1 diabetic. The person I was working with was supposed to have me clear the program with my doctor (I later found out) but she was so eager to sign me up, we just conveniently skipped over that part. After quoting me thousands of dollars (oh well, I thought. I'll pay anything to be thin, right?) This place talks so much about real food. Ya right? They sent me home with a cheap bag filled with these packets of protein powder. Basically, what I quickly realized, was that I was going to eat these packets of protein powder for breakfast AND lunch and have a sensible dinner until I hit my goal weight? Weight a minute? Isn't that basically Slim Fast from the 1980's. What was the thousands of dollars for?? NOTHING. Well, I went along with it for almost a week until I got so sick from being in massive ketosis, I had to go to the hospital. I told them about what I was doing with Awaken 180 and I was told to stop immediately. Luckily for me, my money (and it was a lot) was refunded to me because they knew they screwed up. This place wants to take all your money and starve you. I don't know how WBZ can continue to advertise this place. Awful. read more

I lost 20 lbs on the Awaken180 system about a year ago and I am proud to say I have kept it off! The diet was pretty easy to follow and the weekly counseling was really the key. I lost the weight in about 2 months. Since losing the weight, the monthly weigh in meetings have been the main reason I have kept the weight off. The meetings are free too! I love working with the caring and friendly staff and the energy and encouragement they provide has been wonderful. My cholesterol is way down too. Can't recommend the program highly enough. read more

I gladly paid the 25.00 consultation fee because I believed the radio personalities that had advertised this program. When my 'coach' called me at the designated time, she laid out the entire program and what all it entailed. They would provide the food and the 'personalized coaching' virtually. I wanted to lose between 60 and 70 pounds. Since women lose slower than men, it was determined I could lose about 3 pounds per week. It was expected that I would need to be on the program for about 24 weeks. She quoted me a price of $7080.00 payable weekly at 295.00 per week!! I was mortified! Needless to say I DID NOT sign up for the program. I am sure they are making good money just on the non-refundable consultation fee when most people find out they can't afford it. The average person does not have this kind of money and I would not have paid it if I had. read more

I found that the overall plan worked, but in my case I feel like communication with my coach was non existent. I did the program from home, and some weeks I wouldn't get a call, I complained and was assigned a different coach, but with the same lack of communication. I stayed on the program for four months and lost 85 pounds, but for the 4200+ dollar cost I feel that I did a lot more of the work myself. read more

I would not recommend the virtual/"at-home" program. The remote coaching is not as advertised. I had three coaches over a 12 week period. The first one missed my first two phone appointments, the second one resigned and the third one makes me feel like an inconvenience. The tipping point for this review is yesterday's appointment. I went off the program two weeks ago as I was on vacation. She wanted to schedule our session another week after that so that I would have time to get the program going again. When we spoke yesterday I told her I would need a food order as I was going to run out before our next appointment. She then told me I had had my last food order already and that we would discuss next steps at our NEXT appointment. I asked her what I was supposed to do in the meantime and she said we would discuss it next week but that she would be recommending that I sign up for additional time. She said she was not prepared to discuss next steps with me during our scheduled time yesterday. She had TWO weeks to prepare for our conversation. When I started to panic about what I was to do and that I was concerned about being two weeks behind given it takes several days for the food delivery, she told me I could pay for two more weeks of food. Finally, she mentioned that she could provide me a "transition" menu until we could talk next week. Just totally unacceptable. I will say I am pleased with the results as I am almost down 35 pounds since I started in January. The program works but be prepared to be basically on your own if you are not in a state that has in-person appointments. I will not be re-signing and will be transitioning to Weight Watchers. In a side note: I have reached out to provide my feedback in multiple ways and have heard nothing back from the company. So disappointing. read more

I spent over $1k on this program for 4 weeks. I am glad I did not invest the 10-12 weeks as recommended in my initial consult (that they charge $25 for). This company emphasizes that there is no calorie counting but be prepared to measure & weigh (yes, buy a scale) EVERYTHING. The 80% of the food they supply is all powder form that is actually repacked NutriWise food that can be found MUCH cheaper online. The weekly phone calls were the same for both my husband & myself when discussing slow weight loss we were both told to increase fats & protein. The next weeks call was the same advice which leads me to believe it is all scripted. This is not individualized diet plan, this will be the same plan regardless of age, weight & medical conditions. Only difference is males get 2ounces more protein & females get 2tbsp more fat. When they run out if answers on why you are not losing weight they will tell you that you are at your healthy weight which is absolutely false! I wanted to lose 27lbs and lost a total of 8 in 4 weeks but came at a hefty price tag and had no energy to do anything for a month! Be prepared for a lot of food preparation, measuring, food journaling, hunger pains, low energy, watching the clock for your next "meal" time and DISAPPOINTMENT! read more

I only gave 1 star because it is required, the program worked for me , but the staff in Newton is awful. While you are spending money with the food they treat you nice, once you are in maintenance and don't spend money with them, they are RUDE and not helpful. read more

The program is extremely limiting although it does work. You basically give up all food except for veggies at lunch and meat and veggies at dinner. Everything else comes from them and it's pretty much powders/shakes. They taste good but it is hard because you are giving up everything. I'm starving all the time and hangry as well. It's hard. I also am not sure what the science is behind it. They don't explain it well. It's Keto but also seems to be low calorie. Almost like a bunch of diets combined to torched you. The food is also sold online by Nutriwise (same exact stuff) for significantly less money. So you could do it on your own and save a ton. But - if the fact that you pay a lot makes you commit to it, then by all means join. If you have a lot to lose and want to do it fast and need to be held accountable (and don't mind giving up real food), then this will work. read more

My husband and I live on Long Island. We heard about this great team of weight loss experts from friends and their global service. The ease of the one on one counseling over the phone at our weekly meeting along with the quick shipment of food made the plan easy to follow. Many people who are anxious to lose weight find it hard to attend meetings due to work family etc. The Awaken180 team were very accommodating to our needs and busy schedules The food is easy to prepare whether home or traveling. We were pleased with the results. Thank you Awaken180. read more

I went to the newton location. I heard this program from the radio. I was told that I need to make commitment and the cost. I was given all the food for each week. I did lost weight. After the entire 10 week sessions, I went back and ask them how do I continue, they told me I should not continue on the diet and I will be on my own. I am not sure what to do, I started to gain the weight back slowly. I wish someone can do a better job following up. read more

OK , It's my follow up. Well OK it's me again. Now a few weeks ago I got off the diet plan and am on maintenance so sure I can get of the wagon when it comes to those warm rolls and oil with some nice fish and veggies. But treat the rolls for what they are a TREAT. Just think how much more you'll enjoy them in limited quantity and on special occasions. I lost almost all the weight planned on but no big deal because I better understand how to lose weight now and to keep it off. I truly feel my biggest single revelation has been learning the proper way to eat. That is to say how many bad choices we are offered out there. We get used to ordering those bad choices but after Awaken 180 I understand you can still eat well and tasty but just ignore the 'Bad Stuff' Wendy's ... sure get Dave's triple BUT just leave out the roll and the cheese. Berterucci's fine but get the COD Limone less the pasta and have it on bed of broccoli instead. Just a couple of examples but Awaken makes you a smarter eater, in my case a a more frequent eater who is also much more aware of healthy choices. Now before I go I've got to give a HUGE shout out to the women in Quincy. They are the best, the friendliest the most attentive and make you feel right at home. At the start, during and after the process....... read more

I am very disappointed with this program. I called to get information regarding the program and was told the cost was $255 per week, more than $1,000 a month. I would love to join this program, but it is way out of reach for me. Kind of makes you feel defeated even before you begin. read more

Edit: As you can see, an associate of the company posted a rebuttal to my review. If they only charged $25 for people to make their appointments, then they should reimburse you if you made your appointment right? But they don't tell you you'll get your money back so that's just a boldface lie. Mo money Mo money$$$$$ read more

Wanted to share my personal experience. I am in my 20s with a little extra weight from transitioning from college and living on my own. I heard about the program from a family friend who is much older. Didn't get specifics but I decided to learn more. I went to the consultation and filled out a form with all of my prior illnesses/medication/family history. I was also asked my weight, and what my goal weight was. When I filled that out, I was just kind of guessing as I assumed I would be meeting with a professional who would let me know what was normal for my height/age etc. The consultation consisted of a girl asking me if I had any questions and telling me I'd be on the program for ten weeks. No further information was given. I had no idea even that the "food" they provide is just powder. When I started the program, I will admit that I did lose weight very quickly (which is why I gave this two starts rather than 1). However, I was constantly tired, cold, and weak. Too weak for any type of exercise. I would essentially get home from work and get in bed. This weakness added to the isolation I felt from not being able to participate in social situations really took a toll. I decided for my mental health not to finish the program. A few logistical issues as well: I met with a different person every week when I went to be weighed. As this is a personal program it seems odd. I called for a few appointments to confirm and they said "well you don't have to come" they also told me things that are just not true. Like to choose creamy dressing rather than just oil..that's not healthy! It truly seemed like they wanted my money and that's it. I don't believe that this is a sustainable or healthy diet for anyone. Please be aware of your relationship with food while on this diet. read more

The company does not have any dietitians on staff, the owner is not even qualified. All "nutrition consultants" receive a few weeks of training... they do not know what they are doing. It's a scam... can cost over $1000/month, basically placing clients on a ketogenic diet. Save your money and go to a dietitian or just google ketogenic diet... it's that easy. read more

I hate to give only 1 star because the coaches were really nice and did try their best, but for me this diet did not work and was super expensive and limiting. I followed the program religiously for 6 weeks and lost less than 6 lbs. Much less that the 2 to 3 lbs per week that was promised. Between the cost ($285/week) the chemical laden powdered "food" and the restrictiveness of the diet, it was so not worth it. I've been doing better on my own with just tracking my calories and macros and I get to eat actual food and save a ton of money. No bueno. read more

The staff at 180 in Newton, are superb. Very helpful and understanding of my goals. I would highly recommend the plan and all the people that help the clients. read more

If you need to lose weight AND want to keep it off as part of a lifestyle change this is a great choice. The individual food information provided is critical to long term success, if you are only looking to lose weight and then go back to your regular eating habits it is not for you. It is not about eating less, it is about eating right. You follow their plan you will lose weight quickly and be able to maintain. read more

Awaken 180 changed my life I've lost almost 50 pounds I started at 16 and I couldn't be happier the people their want to see you succeed and Help you through the whole process!!!! read more

Well I'm trying to figure out how on my weigh in day my scale at home and at work said I lost 5lbs and then I get to the place to get weighed in and they say I lost 12lbs. Someone please explain this to me? read more

I just finished my first week and I have to say after day 5 it has been easier and easier to follow. I got a good variety of food my first week and tried everything and got to know quickly what I like and don't like. At my checkin I was able to pick and chose what I wanted for week 2. The counsel session was great and got great tips on my evening meal preparation. Staff were very busy but I was not rushed and all questions were answered. Ready for w read more

OMG. Don't do it. Join a Gym. Hire a Dietician and a Personal Trainer and you'll save about $500 a month and you'll be able to eat real food instead of powdered Whey and Soy. What a joke. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN OUT OF THERE. read more

I never could have lost the 20 pounds without the help of Awaken 180. I had tried to lose weight before and never been successful. I am so glad I joined Awaken 180. In the first few months I lost 20 pounds. They want to make sure you don't gain it back so you can have check ins to be sure you are maintaining your weight. I live far and was able to use the system online which was one of the reasons I chose this program. For me, it worked and now that I understand how to eat right, I am healthier and also able to maintain my new lower weight. One of the best things I have ever done was joining Awaken 180. read more

I had a terrific experience with Awaken 180, starting over a year ago. I started at 225, and while I was on the program, I lost about 25 pounds in 2 months. Over the next 4 months, I was not on the program, I ended up applying what I had learned and lost another 20 pounds in the next 4 months. Altogether, in 6 months, I lost 45 pounds, or about 20% of my original weight. Yes, it is expensive, and you really have to be mentally ready to commit to a serious program for a couple of months. But once I actually spent the money, I became even more determined to follow the program. At it's simplest, the program does follow a low-carb high fat keto-type of program, and they help you measure out pre-measured foods, which is a big convenience help. But I think the real "secret sauce" is that they really ask and expected me to keep a food diary, and then they have good people who spent the time with me each week to discuss the positive and negative experiences I had and what worked for me, and what didn't work for me; the key is that they can have those discussions in a professional, non-judgmental way, and as a result of those conversations, they provide a lot of positive constructive and practical ideas that helped me find specific solutions that worked for me. The accountability really helped me to be honest with myself, and the creative ideas help me to find patterns that worked for me with my lifestyle. You can be critical if you want and say I could do all this on my own, and if you can, good for you -- you should do so and you would save a lot of money. And I know that it was not just Awaken doing all the work -- it took a lot of planning and determination and amazing support from my family, and of course the money. But those were all there for me before, and I wasn't losing weight. So I have to give Awaken a lot of credit -- this experience actually delivered tangible results for me. (As you can imagine, from losing so much weight, I have gotten a lot of complements and double takes.) One other thing is that after the program, while I am on "maintenance," they continue to meet with me once per month, essentially forever, for no additional charge. I think that says a lot for them. I have now been on "maintenance" for over one year, and I have not gained back any weight. Period. So they definitely taught me something. Do I have any criticisms? Well, I wish they were open before 9 am to make the morning appointments easier to schedule. Also, from what I have heard, the program does work somewhat better for men than for women, so bear that in mind if you are reading this. read more

Clearly this program works for many so this review is not about the plan it's more about the costs upfront. First, they charge $25 for the consult. Which is ok IF they give it back to you when/if you join the program as credit. (that's a typical practice and they don't do this). They also take $650 upfront. If you decide within a 7 days to cancel the rest of you commitment you can "get out of it". However, they keep the $650. This is absolute BS. If you choose to leave the program for whatever reason within 7 days you should only be liable for the consult and one week's worth of food. Maybe keep another $100 for admin costs but $650 is the most unfair program i have even encountered. For this reason folks BEWARE and think hard about it before you fork over money. (Also FYI - You can go to Ideal Protein and get the same results and council and pay weekly) Same exact horrible tasting meal packets and averages around $100-120/week. Just sayin.... read more

I listened to the radio advertisement for months and months and kept telling myself I should go for a consultation. Finally, after several months of not feeling good or looking good (seeing myself in a family wedding picture which wasn't good), and having tried other weight loss programs, I decided to pick up the phone and schedule a consult. After sitting down with one of the coaches and having a consult, talking about it with my husband, and thinking about how much I needed to do something, I joined Awaken180 last December. Awaken180 is an amazing program and the coaches in Peabody are even more amazing. They are always so positive, supportive, and willing to help with suggestions when you feel you need a little boost. My goal was 40 pounds and I am right about at that mark but that isn't the bets part; my body fat and visceral fat are down to amazingly low numbers (healthy numbers). I feel terrific and look amazing. It was not a hard program to follow, but you have to be committed and one thing I can say is I was 100% in throughout the weight loss part of the program. I am now in the full maintenance part of the program and the coaches continue to be positive, supportive, and full of suggestions. I have been able to 'treat' myself and still keep the weight off and I am determined even now to take off a few more pounds. I am also determined to keep the weight off; this is a life long journey, not a sprint; it is a life style, not a diet. If you want to be a part of a successful weight loss journey, JOIN AWAKEN180. You will be glad you did........ read more
