I went to EMP because I am having problems with high blood pressure, high blood sugar and sleep apnea. I quickly lost enough weight that I'm am now looking forward to going to the doctor -- for once -- to see how much my weight loss has improved things. I"m lazy and don't want to be fumbling around with a bunch of complicated food. I found the program was easy to follow, the food took virtually no preparation and tasted good -- especially the pudding. That stuff rocks!! Anywho, I worked with Taylor, David, and Serena and they all were very calm, positive and supportive. I was a little hesitant to try a weight loss program, but this one worked like gangbusters!! I would recommend these folks highly. Interestingly enough, when I looked at all the meals I'd be eating each day, I was like how am I going to lose weight like that??? Sure enough first week I lost five pounds and even cheated a little bit. Give this a shot. It works!!
The team at EMP 180 in Woodbridge is knowledgeable, attentive and fully invested in your success. We work with Goron who has been a crucial component for us - he is encouraging and creative and always has great suggestions every week for how to maintain this new healthy life he’s taught us. Once you try this program, you will never use another one.
I wish I would have gone to EMP 180 sooner- I had been considering it ever since I heard Mary Walter talked about her experience last spring on WMAL. I finally got up the courage to call and I am so glad that I did!
This was such a positive experience! The nutrition plan is easy to follow and better yet I have been able to establish a much healthier life style. Kim Spivak was great- always so professional, accessible and willing to answer any question and provide guidance. Whether you are going out to a restaurant or having Thanksgiving dinner she provides excellent encouragement in such a positive manner. YOu can email her with any question and she is great about making sure that you feel comfortable with the nutritional plan and how you are doing. I am so glad that I decided to do this at this time while working from home which made it easier. While many of my friends have gained weight during the COVID quarantine, this has been a true positive outcome for me!
EMP was recommended to me by my best friend who lost 20 lbs in 8 weeks. So far, I've lost 15 lbs. in 6 weeks and I plan to keep going. This program is unlike any other because of their knowledgeable and encouraging coaches (Felice is THE BEST!), delicious food options (tasty AND filling!) and realistic, sustainable approach to weight loss. They will help you change your mindset and you WILL see results! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMP 180 Woodbridge and be sure to ask for Felice! :-)
Weight loss is hard. I've been on and off various programs for most of my adult life. What I've found to be differentiating and valuable about EMP 180 is this program combined with this staff. There is someone who is a subject matter specialist in anything you may need. Nutrition, Wellness, Fitness, Health, Food Science, etc. So you have the accountability of weighing in / meeting with someone each visit - but you don't run the risk of not having a good fit, right background for you. You get the benefit of the entire well trained team. The EMP 180 program has been the perfect balance of structure, accountability, support and flexibility for me.
Also, a lot of the daily food is provided to you. However, the team at EMP 180 are constantly open to tweaking it to work for me/my life/my family/my challenges. That has been a big differentiator for me with sticking with the program (now for close to 6 months).
I'm very glad I made that first call.
"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!
When I first was looking into EMP180, I began by searching on the internet. The EMP180 website contained an abundance of information and intrigued me to communicate with Kim of the Potomac location via chat. She was professional in her responses and and I set up my consultation visit as a result. After my consulation with Kim, I was hooked on the professional approach to weightloss which EMP180 provides using a precise blanace of mactronutrients that were determined for my weightloss goals. I was on-board with the program and quickly saw results. I reached my Empowered Weight after 10 weeks! I like that I am able to still communicate with Kim and Alexia of the Potomac office when I have questions about my maintenance. They are wonderful, easy to communicate with and answer my questions prompty. So happy I heard about EMP180 (I am a WMAL listener) and made the decision to reach my Empowered Weight. Thank you EMP180.

If you follow their plan, you lose the weight. I did and I lost 45 lbs, during COVID, in 4-5 months. My son lost 70 lbs. I needed a prescriptive, regimented program that made it easy for me. This was it. Food was fine, they teach you how to spice it up a bit etc. you weigh in regularly and focus on your fat loss. It is a bit pricey, that’s the only down side, but if you want to get your body back, change your habits back to good, adjust your pallet, and just become overall healthier, this is the program. My friends didn’t recognize me, all in a good way! I strongly recommend EMP-180. Just do it! read less

However, I signed up for 7 weeks and figured I could do anything for 7 weeks. Then I started watching the weight falling off of me. Then I played with ingredients until I found or developed recipes that were healthy and delicious. Next thing I knew, I was no longer craving sugar. By the time I reached my goal, I had no cravings at all. My diet had balanced out. I was consuming enough protein (I had to learn the importance of protein in the diet to maintain muscle) and I wasn't crazy hungry either. I've been on maintenance now for three full months and I can't believe how great I feel and how happy I am with my new body. Now, I need to go drink more water. read less

The coaches have been absolutely wonderful so far. I have a long way to go to get healthy but I’m feeling very optimistic that this program might actually produce a total shift in my eating habits. A real, honest-to-goodness lifestyle change if you will; which is hard to imagine at 50 yrs. old after a lifetime of poor eating.
It’s a significant financial commitment, but I’ve been packing on the pounds every year since my late 30’s and I don’t want to end up barely mobile in another 10 or 15 yrs. so far, so good.
I’ll try to remember to update this review in a few months with my progress.
UPDATE: I just finished week 5 and I'm thrilled with my progress. I still have a long way to go, but the weight is basically falling off me every week and I have no doubt that I will reach my goals. The first week or two was difficult, but now, following the eating program is just what I do every day and it's no big deal. If you told me 3 months ago that I'd be loving big bowls of vegetables at dinner I'd have called you a big fat liar!! LOL!
Having the coaches to both encourage me and hold me accountable is incredibly helpful. This program certainly isn't cheap, but it's worth every single penny so far! I can't recommend it highly enough. read lessDebi Dew8/19/2020I 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! read less

Not only did he lose 40 pounds in 4 months (and made it sound easy), but the fact that he kept the weight off for over a year was what mostly sold me on the concept. Still, picking up the phone and dialing was the hardest part. Luckily, Vance answered on the other end. He had me relaxed and smiling immediately and I was laughing by the end of the call. He explained how to start and made the appointment for me while I was motivated and super-excited to start my journey.
From the moment I first walked into the Ashburn location, it felt like family! From Alison to Eloisa to Raechel, the support and encouragement was overwhelming!!
I first met with Leslie, who had actually gone through the program, so she completely understood my anxiety and that I had a million questions. She set me up with an absolutely perfect daily eating chart - taking into account my schedule, my lifestyle, and my family.
Then I met with Colleen, who explained the entire overall process to me. She has become a trusted friend over the past few months with whom I can share all of my triumphs and challenges. She is my biggest cheerleader, always offering support and helpful suggestions. She has also provided fun recipes to help mix things up so meals never become too boring or routine.
Because of the Covid-19 disruption, I have had the opportunity to experience both the in-person weigh-ins as well as the remote option. Although I prefer coming in to see everyone, Colleen made it just as easy to keep on track from home!
I am well on my way to losing those stubborn pounds and feel so much better all-around! I am sleeping soundly, have a lot more energy and nothing hurts - no more back pain or knee/joint pain.
The entire process has been easy, fun, and enjoyable. The food is delicious and I never feel hungry. Highly recommended.

I lost over 50 lbs in just over 5 months going from 248 to 194. I could not have done it without the support of Kurt and others at EMP 180. The program is fairly regimented but the results were outstanding. I had tried numerous times to return to a healthy weight only to lose some, stall out, and regain it. I've been at a healthy weight for nearly a month now and holding steady. I did incorporate some healthier lifestyle changes (ie - bike riding and walking) during the 5 months but nothing over-the-top crazy. Also, my visceral fat levels normalized as well as my overall body-fat percentages. The great part is that I am still working with Kurt to re-introduce a broad selection of whole foods back into my daily routine. There were certainly times when I thought about walking away from the program but with encouragement from the team, i met my goals. Thanks to everyone at Tysons - you've helped put me on a healthy course for the future. - Jeff read less
Jeff Foltz6/23/2020As with any effort like this, its not automatic. You have to work at it with strong discipline. EMP provides a way that absolutely works if you hold the line.

Once I turned 40, everything turned off in my body like a light switch. I never had weight issues growing up, but all of sudden, I had a problem. My activity level had decreased over the years, due to 4 knee surgeries etc. I will admit, going in, I was skeptical and didn’t think it would work. After my first week, I dropped 4 pounds. Wow!! I was so motivated to continue the program to learn more about the right things to be eating, as well as the time of day to be eating the right foods. I am about 4 1/2 weeks in and I have lost over 7lbs. I never thought I would get back to this weight again. If you are thinking about a weight loss program and are hesitant, please consider this program. Working with Colleen and the EMP staff has been great!! They are very attentive and will answer any questions you may have. I am so happy I found this program, and I will continue to apply what I have learned even once the program has been completed. read less

I have been following their program for a little more than 3-1/2 months and have lost 35 pounds. I fully expect to reach my target weight within one month. Most importantly, they have taught me when and what to eat to maintain my weight. I have been impressed and pleased with every person with whom I've worked in their company. They are all so friendly, caring and knowledgeable. I am 61 years old and have done the diet thing four other times through the years. Yes, I was able to lose my target weight each time. However, I also put the weight back on each time because none of the other programs were sustainable. I just returned to following my bad eating habits. I know that will not be the case with the EMP 180 Weight Loss program. Again, I have been taught when and what to eat to maintain my weight. Highly recommended! Give them a try. You won't be disappointed! read less
