What Are The Benefits?

Explore the benefits of our JumpStart residential weight loss program.

The JumpStart live-in weight loss program for adults at Structure House is a unique and effective approach to weight management. It integrates scientifically supported principles of nutrition, exercise, and psychology to help you achieve a healthier, more satisfying life. This residential experience gives participants an opportunity to step away from the stresses of daily life so that they can focus on their goals for weight loss and take strides toward achieving lasting wellness.

When you enter our JumpStart program, you have the opportunity to meet with multidisciplinary staff members from all departments. This allows you to explore the various aspects of our programming, which includes life coaching, fitness, and nutrition, among others.

Why Is This a Healthy Alternative to Fat Camps?

We offer a healthy and sustainable alternative to the self-defeating fat camp approach.

In the past, outdated concepts such as fat camps and weight loss boot camps exposed individuals to unhealthy interventions that led to self-defeating behaviors. At Structure House, we have long advocated for a science-based, research-supported approach that celebrates the strength and potential of each participant who turns to us for help.

We offer a healthy and sustainable alternative to fat camps, boot camps, and fat farms that supports our participants in reaching successful long-term weight loss. Participants are empowered to learn how to make their own decisions about their eating habits and activity levels without the use of shame, guilt, or extreme exercise or dieting as weight loss tools.

At Structure House, we use an updated model of care that doesn’t focus solely on the fitness and nutritional aspects of our participants’ weight loss journeys. Our expert staff helps participants identify how their mental health is connected to the challenges they experience losing weight.

We use evidence-based approaches to wellness that can help our participants better understand the urge to engage in unhealthy eating patterns. We also work with participants as they learn how to change behaviors that have kept them from reaching their weight loss goals.

This alternative to fat camps and boot camps supports our participants in weight loss that is healthy, sustainable, and long-lasting.

Is There Flexibility?

Yes! Discover how to adjust your length of stay in our JumpStart program.

JumpStart is a four-week program that is held in one-week units. Each week is a complete experience and is unique in content from the other weeks. You can stay in the program for four weeks consecutively, or you may stay for one, two, or three weeks. Once you complete all four weeks, even if nonconsecutively, you will become a Structure House Graduate and gain access to reduced pricing for future visits.

All Structure House retreats are flexible to meet each participant’s unique needs. From the length of stay in our program to the activities that will fill your days, you get to choose the options.
