Weight Watchers Closing Studios in 2023 & 2024
WeightWatchers has made the decision to close or change the location of many in-person studios due to decreased attendance. Changes will begin March 26, 2023.
Some studios will remain open but may change meeting times.
The notification listed under the location is, “As of March 26, we’ll have a NEW schedule at this Studio. Please check times before heading to a Workshop. We can’t wait to see you!”
Other WW programs will continuing meetings but will change locations, going back to meeting in churches, hotels, and VA halls.
Other locations will close meetings all together and only virtual meetings will be offered.
The notification states, “After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close this WW Studio as of 3/26/23. At WW, we’re still committed to providing coaching and a community to help you reach your goals. Please join us at one of our virtual Workshops. You can browse our coaches and find a virtual Workshop time by selection Virtual here in the Workshop Finder. We can’t wait to welcome you!”
WW virtual (zoom) workshops led by local leaders will also be closing. National virtual workshops will continue and be available at my times throughout the day.

WW Lifetime Membership Changes
How will Lifetime status work for members if there is not an in-person meeting in their area for them to weigh in?
Current WW Lifetime members who are not within a 50 mile radius of an in-person Workshop received the following email.
“Good news! Your WW account has been extended by 334 days! You’re all set – there’s nothing else you need to do. You’re still enrolled in our recur billing system, so your monthly billing date has also been extended. Your next recur billing date is set for 3/01/2024. Have a great week! Your WW team.”
If you did not receive the email and are a Lifetime member without an in-person meeting near you, contact WW through the chat feature or their 1-800 number to confirm that you received a one year extension.
