Weight Watchers Selects The LIFTED Method to Deliver Strength Training Within Their Global App.
"The LIFTED Method" is a new program of progressive strength and functional movement programming from fitness expert Holly Rilinger, integrated directly into the WeightWatchers app. It is designed to support members at various life stages, including those navigating menopause or using GLP-1 weight-loss medications.
A New Digital Experience Designed to Power Better Results
In addition to its GLP-1 Success, Weight Watchers is unveiling a reimagined digital experience that combines decades of behaviour-change expertise with new technology to give members a clearer, more personalized view of their weight health and help them be more successful in reaching and sustaining their goals.
Weight Health Score, a simple, science-based view of progress
At the center of the new experience is the new Weight Health Score, an evidence-based metric that turns daily habits into an easy to understand scoring system. It draws on key inputs such as body composition—as well as nutrition, activity, and sleep– from more than 60 connected devices and apps, giving members a clearer sense of which habits are driving their overall progress.
AI-Powered Body Scanner, making changes easier to detect
A new AI Body Scanner tracks changes in fat and muscle over time, offering insights that a scale alone cannot provide. This is especially important for members who may be in menopause or on a GLP-1 weight loss medication who may see substantial changes in body weight, and benefit from a clearer picture that supports fat loss while preserving muscle mass and strength.
Exclusive Fitness Content
Members will gain access to premium fitness content directly within the app, including progressive strength and functional movement programming from The LIFTED Method by Holly Rilinger. This program supports members at every stage of their journey—whether they’re navigating menopause, using GLP-1 weight-loss medications, or simply looking to build sustainable movement into a healthier lifestyle.
Modes That Adjust To Changing Needs
As members move through different phases in their weight journey, they can now select between flexible Modes which adjust the level and type of support. Initial modes include All-In Mode, a more structured pathway for those looking to jump-start their progress, Lose Mode, Weight Watchers’ trusted approach that provides members with a consistent foundation for steady, sustainable progress, and Maintain Mode, focused on preserving results over time.
“This evolution goes far beyond a new visual identity. For us, the Weight Watchers brand lives in how we show up every day—through our experience, our coaches, our community, and our medical support,” said Julie Rice, Chief Experience Officer at Weight Watchers. “Everything is designed around a deep understanding of members’ real lives and goals, so support feels personal, connected, and consistent wherever someone meets Weight Watchers.”
“I was drawn to Weight Watchers because its mission aligns closely with how I approach my work.” said Holly Rilinger, Founder of The LIFTED Method. “Real change comes from science, structure and habits that actually stick. I build programs looking at the full picture - nutrition, behavior patterns, hormones, stress, sleep and recovery. When those pieces work together, progress is more sustainable.”
Holly goes on to say “I’m deeply committed to science-backed programming, and Weight Watchers has a long history of evolving with the research rather than relying on trends or quick fixes. Weight Watchers understands that success means building skills, confidence, and routines that people can maintain for life. I wanted to be involved because together we can develop personalized programs that help people create real, lasting change.”
