What our clients are saying: EDGE Programs (4-8 weeks) “What a bonus to be able to learn about nutrition, exercise, muscle development, vitamin supplements, controlling the ravages of stress, natural healing, and the list goes on, without ever leaving the office! In particular I found the Extreme Makeover sessions to be extremely informative and beneficial. I gained so much knowledge about the foods I was eating on a regular basis and how making informed choices would provide me with life-long health benefits. I became so much more aware of how much I moved in a day and how that had to balance out with my food choices. I am healthier and stronger now and my entire family has benefited from what I learned in the sessions. My goal is that when I turn 50 (I am 48 now) I will be at the healthiest I have been in my life. With what I have learned from Employer’s Edge, I think I will attain my goal!” -Helen, Accounting, Lerners “Their nutrition and exercise knowledge is sound and based on current scientific understanding. The running program and personalized weight & ball workouts allowed me to realize that there was enough time in the day to make health a priority. Thanks to Employer’s Edge, I now thrive not just survive. I am more focused and productive both at work and at home. I am more aware of the negative effects of stress and how to view and deal with stress in a positive manner. I have rediscovered my passions and enjoyment for life. The positive effects are far reaching and are influencing my family and friends. The effects are not static and will continue to positively impact my life for many years to come. Thanks Employer’s Edge. I am truly grateful for your services!” -Heather, RN, Medical Law Clerk, Lerners “Enjoyed one on one meetings with the "coach" and learned a great deal about vitamins, diet and exercise and how they all go hand in hand in getting my weight under control.“ -Participant, London, Ontario “Learning to read a label was a big eye opener for me. All of the information I learned was passed on to my husband at home. We are both much more conscious of label reading when buying groceries. Eating foods lower in fat and sodium and higher in fibre and protein are my goals. Obviously our healthy eating passes on to our children as well at mealtime...not to mention going for walks and all the times they see us on our elliptical and stability ball. My oldest is only four and likes to get up on the elliptical because she sees mom and dad doing it.” -Participant, London, Ontario “I thought I ate fairly well before the program, but with the new knowledge that I obtained, I was able to make even more healthy choices. I liked the way the program was set up, especially the length and the weigh in appointments, which helped us keep on track.” -Participant, London, Ontario “Being accountable every week was a very good thing. Also - doing this with a group of co-workers was a great idea - it made it easy to share experiences (good and bad) and to relate with people who were going through the same things as I was.” -Participant, London, Ontario “I learned a lot about various things that I thought I knew about before but found out I didn't really know that much. Very positive approach through the core exercises provided to me I have noticed a difference in core strength.” -Participant, London, Ontario “I am one of the Extreme Makeover Challenge Winners! I lost 10 pounds, 17 inches and I can now run 5km in 35 minutes. I would never have accomplished any of this without the help of Employer’s Edge. I signed up for the Extreme Makeover and I was amazed at what I learned about reading a label and the importance of exercise. At 42, I thought I knew it all- after all I was a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and a regular at a gym! How wrong was I!!! Each group session was informative and interesting. “ -Jackie, Accounting, Lerners “My involvement with Employer’s Edge began earlier this year when I became part of their Makeover Challenge, a challenge to change our eating and exercise routines. I wanted to not only improve my lifestyle, but provide my 13-year-old twins with healthier eating choices. There are many quick fix approaches to losing weight and dropping pounds, but what I wanted was a healthier lifestyle. The group sessions provided helpful information and a better understanding of knowing what to eat together. Any handouts were stuck to the fridge for the entire family to see”. -Ginny, Law Clerk, Lerners “Even though I did not reach my goal(s) within the 10 weeks, the information I received will be useful forever. I have started exercising more and feeling better about myself. I think that is what it is all about!!” -Participant, London, Ontario “It was excellent. I lost 5 pounds and 8 inches and I'm not that big to begin with. My goal was to wear a bikini on vacation (without feeling self-conscious about my shape or age) and I DID IT!” -Participant, London, Ontario “I was very excited with the program. Our consultant always kept the meetings moving quickly because the content and she was so interesting. I didn't like being weighed, of course, but it certainly made me more aware of what I was eating.” -Participant, London, Ontario “I am feeling better and hopefully looking better. I have more energy and have learned that I do not miss the things I cut out like I thought I would.” -Participant, London, Ontario
