Thank you for your desire to share this message of hope with your community! Weigh Down is certainly a much different approach to weight loss! This is about changing the inside first, focusing on the heart and its hunger for a relationship with God...the result is outward change, weight loss and renewed health! How exciting that you might be able to share this with others.
Here are the prerequisites in becoming a Weigh Down Class coordinator or to get the benefits of a coordinator:
Step 1: Join a Class: Before becoming a coordinator, you must FIRST take the basic Exodus Out of Egypt Seminar: The Change Series to become acquainted with the seminar.
Step 2: Coordinator Benefit - Free Class - includes all video viewing and class material.
- Sign up 3 participants in addition to yourself in an online class
- Sign up 3 participants in a local class that is being hosted by a Weigh Down Regional Representative in your area
*Online Coordinators and Regional Reps have been lovingly trained by the counselors at Weigh Down and will help through your weight loss journey. They are incredible contacts.
Step 3: Call to schedule an orientation date and order your coordinators packet: After you have completed the online or local class and called to confirm there is no Regional Representative in your area already hosting a class, you are ready to set dates for your orientation. Choose the night of the week, the time and the location of your class. (ie. Our orientation will be on Tuesday, October 1st at 6:30 pm at my home. 1st class meeting would then be on Tuesday October 14th at 6:30 pm). You can reach our office at 1-800-844-5208; Please give us a 2-week notice so that we can mail your coordinators packet out. The orientation is about 30 minutes long, and each class for the 8 weeks is about 1.5-2hours for the video lesson and discussion time. Please keep this in mind when choosing a time. Location: We ask that you chose a neutral location so that only Weigh Down teachings are represented- meaning not affiliated with another religious denomination (ex: home, office, community center). Please let us know if you have any questions about this policy.
Step 4: Host the Orientation: The orientation is free and is be open to anyone in the community who wants to come. In fact, when callers phone in to Weigh Down within a 60 mile radius of your class, they will be given your contact information to join your class.
Step 5: Place a Class Order: After the orientation, there are two ways for participants to sign up for your class.
- One: Participants can call individually to 800-844-5208 and ask for your class by name and we will place them on your class roster and collect their payment.
- Two: You can call Weigh Down and place your order on behalf of the group. You will need to collect each person’s name, address, phone number, and e-mail. For payment, you can use 1 or multiple credit cards (Visa, MC, Discover). We will need the cardholder's name, address, card number, expiration date, and 3 digit verification code of the card. You can also mail checks or money orders.
Once you place your class order, you will be shipped all of the participants material. Each participant receives a workbook and a set of 8 CDs. You personally will receive a new workbook and the 8 DVD lessons. Those DVD lessons are on loan and must be returned to the Weigh Down Workshop at the completion of your 8 weeks unless you schedule new class dates.
- Support - If you have any questions, please let us know how we can serve you. Remember if your class is struggling or any participant needs extra encouragement; please refer them to the trained counselors at 800-844-5208.
