LA Weight Loss - Can We Say “Scam”?
“I worked for LAWL for 3 years…was treated like CRAP from upper mgmt, the whole thing was always a drama scene. I would like to mention names here but shouldnt….there MOTO was “MAKE THEM CRY AND THEY WILL BUY” You know who you are..
Seriously I feel for the members. I have never had a weight problem but I know the pain of it especially when you are promised this “program”
I quit before the big shut down because I just couldnt lie anymore, couldnt sleep at night. I went form 60-70 grand to a $10.00 an hour job…but I slept at night.
The big Vegas meeting was like a PLAYBOY function. All these chicks dressed sooo unprofesionally and Vaughn loving all the short skirts and fake boobs…well look where you are now. You deserve it.
Whoever came up with this idea is genious! Now most of this “hard ass” upper mgmt is now UNEMPLOYED. This is because you have no talent. Good luck! This is your payback.
As for all the members, I personally apologize.”

I AM AN EX-EMPOLOYEE OF LA WL AND THE COMPANY TO SAY THE LEAST
WAS UNETHICAL. THEY HIRED HOOCHIE MOMMAS TO SALE THEIR SERVICE AND PRODUCTS…I.E. WHO WANT TO SEE YOUR FAKE BOOBS WHILE YOU DISCUSS A DIET PLAN TO VUNERABLE CLIENT SINCERELY TRYING TO CHANGE THEIR EATING HABITS. THEY FORCED ME OUT BECAUSE I CARED ABOUT MY CLIENTS, I COULD NOT LIE TO THEM. THE SOY BARS WERE SO EXPENSIVE, AND MAY CLIENT PURCHASED IN LARGE QUANTITIES PROBABLY NEVER RECIEVING WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PURCHASED. I AM HAPPY THEY ARE CLOSING MANY STORES, IM SURE SOON THE ENTIRE OPERATION WILL BE SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!
“I worked for your company for 2 years and quickly worked my way up to asst manager. I loved the clients and took pride in my position in helping people lose weight , However I soon learned that it was more of brainwashing people and hitting them up for thousands of dollars to join having them come back 3 days later and trying to pre sell them thousands more of your awful LA weight loss bars! Closing my center for the night I put my keys though the door and never went back. I sent emails to the “higher ups” in your business only to not be responded to. It breaks my heart to find out your centers were only a scam for people who truly want to change thier lives with weight loss.
In training we were taught to make them for so bad about themselves and it was good if we could get them to cry. Then sell sell sell products and programs to them SHAME ON YOU!!!”
“I myself was a center Manager at an LA Weightloss in Florida. After my first few weeks of employment
I was shocked. As someone that has struggled with my own weight, I was initially thrilled to be working in an environment where I would be helping others achieve their weight loss goals. I began to realize that the owners were less concerned about helping people than making a profit at almost ANY COST. After holding this position for only a couple of months, I was beginning to look for a new job when thankfully, my husband’s company required that we relocate cross-country. Aware that many of the LA Weightloss Centers were franchises, I was still naive enough to think that my experience at the Florida center had been negative because of the owners. I sought out employment at an LA Weightloss in our new city/state and felt reassured to find that this franchise was owned by an actual Physician (had to be credible, right?!). WRONG!! I ended up working for the new franchise for not even a month and a half and due to their inappropriate sales tactics and “they cry, they buy” motto, ended up walking out in the middle of a shift because I COULDN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT and refused to encourage my employees to take advantage of potential and current clients. I find it hard to believe that your upper management was any different. After working in the two different markets and hearing similar stories from other center managers, it was obvious to me that the core of the company was rotten. Even so, it’s wrong for you to take the stand that YOU alone are “hurt”. Alot of innocent people were basically exploited, and if you were in the business for the right reasons, you would be more sympathetic. I regret the day I ever worked for them and feel for anyone that was ever a client. In a nutshell, yes the basic program works. I myself lost 36 pounds on it. There was no need for the shady “tactics” used and they could have had an honest business and been very successful at it. Instead they turned it into a negative experience for so many people because of one word:
GREED.”
Well, i guess we can wholeheartedly say the four letters word: SCAM!
So much for big names weight loss miracles.
