Bring a Buddy!
Space is tight for Helping with the Heavyweights. We close the program after one person signs up, but we can accommodate three people. So, when you book your session, you can choose to bring a second participant (and even a third participant) at a discounted rate---$100 off! That's just $100 for members, and $150 for nonmembers!
