Closing Canadian L.A. Weight Loss Offering Members “LA on the Go” Phone Counseling
November 28, 2008 by admin
According to the Chronicle Herald, all the L.A. Weight Loss Atlantic Canadian franchise centers are closing Dec. 5, 2008. Instead, they will offer a phone-counseling service called “LA on the Go” to their stranded members. According to the Chronicle-Herald:
David Shneer, president and CEO of LAWL Maritimes Inc., said in an email Tuesday that the company, which operates LA Weight Loss Centres in Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford and Sydney, is changing its business model. “Over the weekend, we decided for two main reasons that we cannot continue to operate the centre-based business,” he said. “So we have informed our centres that we are going to close.”

Mr. Shneer… said LA Weight Loss clients have the option of continuing with the company’s LA On the Go program or requesting a refund. The LA On the Go program was designed for clients who could not visit the centres, he said. “It provides them with weekly one-on-one counselling but just over the phone instead of in the centre,” he said. “They also still have the same access to optional products.”

Any information on the other Canadian LAWL centers closing? (AB, SK, MB) Region?
When my centre in ON closed, I was not given the option of having my money returned although I did ask for it. Instead, I was told that I was required to participate in the LA On-the-Go program and was given a phone number to try today. The phone number is not active and the email address that was given to me does not work either.
