Diet and Weight Reducing Centers

NAICS 812191 · Personal and Laundry Services · SBA size standard: $27.5 million average annual receipts

Diet and weight reducing centers provide personalized nutrition plans, coaching sessions, meal and activity tracking, body measurements and supplement coordination. For a center that combines one-on-one coaching, app-synced logging and scheduled measurements, the specialists turn intake forms into initial plans, convert daily logs into coach-ready summaries, schedule sessions around coach availability, maintain supplement inventory and compile progress reports while the coach or nutritionist reviews every plan change, adjustment and client communication.
