Public Relations Internship Retrofit
The new data-driven weight loss company dedicated to helping people lose weight and keep it off.
The hottest new startup isn?t selling coupons or social networking. It?s about something you understand very well: Healthy, science-based weight loss. Retrofit, which launched November 2011, brings science and technology together in a complete weight loss program focused on long term success. However, to realize our vision, we need a few amazing Program Advisors. We?re ridiculously picky. But if you have what it takes, we?ll pay you above average compensation to work your magic.
The Company
Retrofit?s mission is to deliver the industry?s best long-term weight loss outcomes for our clients. We have no interest in short-term weight loss that is quickly regained.
Our core offering -- designed by an Advisory Board of nationally recognized experts -- is a fully customized year-long program designed to help clients lose 10-15% of their entry weight and keep it off for the year.
Participants are armed with wi-fi tracking devices, a multi-disciplinary expert wellness team, and practical strategies for how to lose weight healthfully.
Retrofit brings the best of science to building better eating, exercise, and behavior patterns. Our comprehensive approach ensures we?re targeting this challenge from every angle.
The personal wellness team approach gives each client the range of skills needed to be successful. The team environment gives our Program Advisors a unique opportunity to collaborate with dietitians, exercise physiologists, and behavior coaches to provide for a client?s full range of needs and personalization.
