One You Lincolnshire launches free Gloji Weight Management Groups in Lincoln

County-wide healthy lifestyle provider One You Lincolnshire is launching two FREE Gloji Groups in Lincoln this June, offering residents a proven, holistic approach to weight management. The programme, which is open to adults with a BMI of 30 or above, is designed to educate and empower participants to make lasting, sustainable changes to their lifestyle.

The two groups that are now available for sign-ups will be at the Birchwood Boiler House Community Centre on Woodfield Avenue, Birchwood on Tuesdays, 12:30pm – 2:00pm, starting on Tuesday 2nd June, and at the Sudbrooke Drive Community Centre on Welbourn Gardens on Mondays, from 10:00am until 11:30am, from Monday 8th June 2026.

Gloji Groups are free weekly sessions run by One You Lincolnshire that take a whole-person approach to weight loss, going beyond calorie counting to give participants the knowledge, skills and confidence to make targeted, sustainable changes that fit into their everyday lives. Rather than following a restrictive diet plan, Gloji equips individuals with practical tools to understand their own habits and make healthier choices for the long term. They provide 13 weeks of structured support, starting with an initial discovery call followed by 12 x 90-minute group sessions focused on learning, accountability and shared experiences.

The programme is delivered in a supportive group setting, helping participants feel motivated and understood as they work toward their health goals alongside others on a similar journey.

Participants receive a copy of the Eating with Gloji recipe book, which contains over 100 recipe ideas to support healthy eating; a journal for them to keep track of their progress and jot down their thoughts throughout the programme; one-to-one support from their practitioner, which includes personalised feedback on both their food diary and activity log, giving tailored guidance specific to their lifestyle, and a WhatsApp Community Group, enabling participants to stay connected with fellow participants and their practitioner between weekly sessions.

Participants in Gloji groups can expect to:

•             Gain a deeper understanding of nutrition, portion control, and healthy eating habits

•             Develop practical strategies to manage weight in a way that suits their individual lifestyle

•             Build confidence and motivation through a supportive, non-judgemental group environment

•             Learn skills to overcome common barriers to weight loss, such as emotional eating and low activity levels

•             Access expert guidance from trained health coaches at no cost

“We know that losing weight and keeping it off can feel overwhelming, especially when life is busy,” says Dan Rogers, Head of Service at One You Lincolnshire.

“The sessions have already helped residents across the county understand their relationship with food, feel more confident in their choices, and achieve meaningful, lasting results. And they are designed to meet people where they are, giving them real, practical support in a friendly, welcoming environment. We encourage any Lincoln resident who is eligible to come along and give it a try. It’s free, it’s flexible, and it could genuinely change your life.”

Spaces are limited, though, so residents are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. To register, visit https://bit.ly/OYLSignUp or call 01522 705162.
