Hello!!
So there’s a lot going on out there right now!! With the rapid changes happening daily due to COVID-19, there is even more reason to put our health at the top of our priority list. In times like these, when our external circumstances seem to be turned upside down and uncertainty prevails, it’s important to remember what we CAN control. The ONLY thing we can ever truly control. Ourselves. I’m elated to share that WW is working quickly and diligently on a way for our community to not only stay connected, but safe as well.
By now, if you’re a current WW member, you should have received an email regarding how we will be moving forward with WW workshops for the next few weeks. Incase you didn’t, I’m reposting it below.
As you’ll read in the letter, WW will be open today, Sunday, March 15th and then will temporarily close on Monday, March 16th through Wednesday, March 18th. All of us at WW will be spending those 3 days training and preparing for our new virtual workshops and they will begin on Thursday, March 19th.
All of us at WW are working hard to continue building community during an extraordinary time, and we hope to make everyone feel comfortable and safe while we continue to serve and support you. More info from WW is sure to come very shortly. Be sure to watch for WW emails, messages on WW.com and your WW app so you can stay in the know!!
Lastly, I’d like to share…..Don’t be nervous about using the technology for our virtual workshops!! It’s super simple and it’s going to be fun! I promise! I’ve used Zoom video conferencing a ton over the past couple years and I assure you….it’s very, very user friendly and easy, easy, easy! It’s an extremely effective, fun tool for gathering groups remotely and I’m very excited it’s making it possible for our workshops to continue to meet!!! A new adventure!! I’ll look forward to seeing you via Zoom from my living room very soon!
*If you’re from one of my California workshops, I’d REALLY appreciate it if you would scroll to the bottom of this post and leave a comment confirming you are receiving my posts. I’ve been helping many of you subscribe over the last few weeks and it would help me a great deal to know we were successful in the process!
Simply scroll to the bottom of this post. You’ll see a space to enter your name and email. It also has a blank for your website…..don’t worry about filling it in. Not needed! I soooo appreciate the few seconds of your time it will take to give confirmation you’ve received this post. Thanks!

COVID-19 and your WW Workshop
Temporary transition to Virtual Workshops
Dear WW Member,
At WW, we are proud that so many of you consider our Studios safe spaces where your journey is supported, and trust that we are taking the preventative steps to keep you, and our employees, safe. After careful consideration, we have decided to transition our in-person workshops to Virtual Workshops until April 4. Yes, you can attend your Workshop from home!
In order to properly train our Coaches and give you time to adjust, we will pause all workshops beginning Monday, March 16, and will resume Live Virtual Workshops Thursday, March 19.
We know that you turn to us for support and that community is key to your success. That will not change, and you won’t have to go it alone. In this unprecedented time, we’ll provide you with all the tools you need to stay on your journey without worry—including bringing your Coach to you. Remember: your WW app has audio workouts and meditations to do at home if you need a little inspiration, and you can binge-watch celebrity interviews from Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour right here. Wondering what to expect in a Virtual Workshop?
Benefits of Virtual Workshops
Privacy: If you don’t like being on camera, you can shut off the video setting at any time. Your weigh-in will happen via the app only.
Constant Support: You can communicate with your fellow members in your Connect group any time—not just during the live Workshop.
Convenience: Virtual Workshops can happen right from home–no shoes required!
Virtual Workshops will be held via Zoom video conferencing, which will maintain your personal connection to your Coach, and will deliver your workshop seamlessly. Over the next few days, you’ll receive a link to the WW App to join your new Virtual Studio in Connect, our private social network. We also recommend downloading the free Zoom app here for the best experience (Zoom will also work in your web browser or via a phone call).
At WW, we are always here for you! We’ll continue to send you regular updates, and if you have any questions, please reach out any time.
In good health,
Your WW Family

March 18, 2020 at 11:02 amQuick question: Are your Madera workshop peeps supposed to join the Fresno virtual group? Searching Madera, CA doesn’t yield a WW group thus far. Thanks. 🙂
Terra
March 18, 2020 at 11:57 amAnne! Such a great question and I just finished a training that told me the answer! Anyone from our Madera workshops will need to join the Clovis Connect group. Once you’ve done that, you’ll see the link to click for our workshops.
Anne
March 18, 2020 at 10:09 pmThanks! See you tomorrow.
Terra
March 18, 2020 at 10:26 pmSee you Friday!!

March 16, 2020 at 7:47 pmHi Terra, I sure can’t wait for this to be over.
Carlotta Curti
March 16, 2020 at 7:32 pmYes, i am receiving your emails…
Betty Norman
March 16, 2020 at 6:36 pmHi Terra, I can’t wait for all this to be over.
Catherine Shippey
March 16, 2020 at 10:32 amSorry about losing face-to-face workshops but interested to see the virtual ones. How do we weigh in? Thanks for being such a good lecturer. Your upbeat energy is inspiring!
Terra
March 16, 2020 at 10:48 amHi Catherine! Yes, the online workshops will be a new adventure and keep us all connected and supported. I’m SO grateful WW is working around the clock to shift to this format since we cannot meet in person right now. The app allows you to enter your own weight, so you if you’d like, you can weigh at home each week and add it to your progress. Keep an eye on your emails and the WW.com site….WW will be sending out more details soon. Thanks!
Susan
March 16, 2020 at 8:02 amGood morning Terra and Fresno Monday early meeting buddies. Yes I am receiving the emails. I will miss everyone but look forward to the virtual meetings you will be setting up for us. Thanks for your words of encouragement Terra!
Terra
March 16, 2020 at 8:06 amI’m looking forward to it too!! We will get through this together
Kristine Hodges
March 16, 2020 at 5:10 amTerra, are you oppose to us weighing in and recording it ourselves?
Terra
March 16, 2020 at 7:40 amNot at all!! WW is recommending that until we get back to our in person workshops.
Anne Charleston
March 15, 2020 at 10:28 pmSee you soon!
Terra
March 16, 2020 at 7:39 amLooking forward to it, Anne!!!
Cindy Volpa
March 15, 2020 at 7:19 pmThanks Terra! Does that mean we won’t be weighing in at all?
Terra
March 15, 2020 at 8:16 pmHi Cindy! Weigh ins thru WW will have to wait until we are back in the Studios, but the app does allow you to add your own weight each week. So you can weigh at home and enter it if you’d like. We are very hopeful things will settle down and we will be back to our traditional studio workshops on April 4th!!!

Dianne M Gatz
March 15, 2020 at 1:19 pmI am not sure my post just got to you. Can we do your workshop or do we stay with our own?
Dianne M Gatz
March 15, 2020 at 1:18 pmDoes that mean that we from IL can do a virtual workshop with you or do we have to do our normal workshop?
Terra
March 15, 2020 at 1:22 pmI’m finding that out!! I know for sure you can go (virtually) to different workshop times…I’m not sure about different territories. I’ll get back to you on it!!! Miss you, Dianne Hope you’re well!!

Lori L
March 15, 2020 at 12:09 pmThanks for the message. I am assuming we put weigh ins on hold for now?
Terra

Leslie
March 15, 2020 at 11:13 amThanks, Terra, for all your help. I’m so motivated by you. I loved the apple crisp recipe. So low in points.
Terra
March 15, 2020 at 11:15 amAbsolutely my pleasure!!!!! See you at our next virtual workshop!
Gary Hughes
March 15, 2020 at 11:05 amGood morning Terra, I was really looking forward to Monday 8:30 meeting. If you recall, Susan (I think) just made her weight goal. She inspired me, I’m exercising, listening to WW activity recording AND switched to Purple! I love PURPLE! Less points but easier for me AND my wife rejoined WW.
Terra
March 15, 2020 at 11:14 amGary….that’s terrific!!! I’m SO glad the change to purple is working out for you! Yes, Susan sure is inspiring and very kind of her to share her success story with us, wasn’t it?? I’ll be seeing you at our virtual workshop soon!
Scott Davis
March 15, 2020 at 10:46 amI’m getting them! Thank
You for all you do for all us. And I would be remiss if I did t say this to you and everybody else…”Wash your hands with HOT soapy water! While singing Happy Birthday”
Terra
March 15, 2020 at 11:12 amAwesome!! Thanks Scott!! We can’t be reminded too many times right now!! See you virtually later this week!!!
