CheqUp, a leading UK provider of GLP-1 based weight loss services, has announced a new partnership with WeightWatchers, a global leader in science-backed weight management.
This collaboration aims to combine the strengths of both companies. It will help people in the UK who want to lose weight sustainably by using GLP-1 medication alongside full behavioural support.
A Complete Approach to Weight Loss with GLP-1
The partnership will offer an integrated solution. CheqUp brings its human-focused model, which includes clinical support and one-on-one health coaching for prescribed weight loss medication. WeightWatchers adds its GLP-1 Companion Programme. This programme provides personalized nutritional advice and lifestyle support designed specifically for those on GLP-1 treatments. Together, the services aim to offer a more effective way to manage weight than medication alone.
The move responds to growing demand in the UK. Around 12 million people are eligible for GLP-1 prescriptions. The UK Government is also reviewing a wider rollout of these drugs due to their potential to improve health and work productivity. This partnership delivers a holistic care model for people currently using or considering GLP-1 medication.
New Support Resources for CheqUp Members
CheqUp members using GLP-1 medication will gain free access to WeightWatchers’ GLP-1 Companion Programme tools, including:
Expert Nutritional Guidance: Access to food recommendations that focus on nutrient-rich choices. These help reduce side effects and support healthy weight loss.
Easy Tracking: Three daily nutrition targets centered on protein, fruits and vegetables, and hydration.
Supportive Community: Entry to WeightWatchers’ members-only social groups. These provide a safe space to share tips, get advice, and receive emotional support from others on a similar journey.
Progress Monitoring: Tools to track weight loss, spot trends, and plan future goals.
James Hunt, Deputy CEO of CheqUp, commented:
“We are thrilled that WeightWatchers has chosen CheqUp as its partner in delivering holistic GLP-1 healthcare. We have seen rapid growth in the number of people trusting CheqUp to guide them through the challenging but rewarding path of weight loss. WeightWatchers’ GLP-1 companion programme will greatly enhance our patients’ chances of sustainable success. Their science-based programmes and global community complement our clinical expertise and health coaching perfectly. This partnership creates the best offer in the market for anyone wanting to benefit from the power of GLP-1 medication combined with behaviour change.”
