Kent State Weight Watchers Group – For Employees, Family Members and Students: Join Today!

In addition to full- and part-time employees, Weight Watchers at Work is now open to spouses, dependents and students. Participants can choose from one of two discounted weight-loss programs:

  1. A monthly pass that gives faculty, staff and students a trial period without the lengthy commitment. Participants have the option of "at-work" or local community meetings.
  2. The online tailored program allows for participation at your own pace.

The At-Work program meets every Wednesday at noon in the Kent Student Center, Room 303, unless otherwise noted. These sessions run continually with no end date. However, a minimum of 20 members must be enrolled for each class session, and we must have a minimum of eight members present for each meeting (even if just to weigh in) in order to maintain the meeting location at Kent State University.

If you are thinking of joining Weight Watchers at Work and wish to try a meeting, there is no obligation to join. Simply attend a meeting in Kent Student Center, Room 303 on Wednesday at noon. Your group leader will assist with the registration process or you can follow the directions at www.kent.edu/hr/benefits/weight-watchers-work.

Over the next few weeks, the Benefits team will be finalizing the Open Enrollment process and completing tasks to ensure all updates are in place for a Jan. 1, 2026 effective date.
