? sorry bbbearsmom , I was talking about the "find a meeting" page on the website where you put in your ZIP code. Here when I pull up that page and enter my zip it lists the different centers and churches, rec centers etc. that offer meetings in my area. *It could be if you live in a small enough town only 1 meeting place is showing for your ZIP code |

The only ones in my area that show meetings are those that say WW Studio. Some say studio but if it's at a recreation center(like mine)or at a church it shows 0 meetings.

For me, the Find a Location page says important update, all in person workshops are paused. The actual studio locations still list all the workshops. The church locations say 0 and in red say attend a virtual workshop at --- and give a specific workshop location. None of those locations are anywhere near them.

My location shows 0 as well with the closest studios still showing meeting days and times. I noticed on connect under my location for virtual....after listing all the virtual times there's a list below it that says "These workshops will be closing" Every meeting at my location (except the one I attend) is listed with the leader. At first I thought they were virtual meetings but then I realized that the days/times/leader match our location exactly. Most of the virtual times have more than one leader, these didn't.

Oh no Laura M that stinks! Are the meetings at a Center or at some other kind of location? I am just trying to see if any Centers are showing 0 or if it is just the traveler meetings that are going away. So your meeting is still going on? Yay! |

My meeting is at a church. It shows as 0 from the WW site where you put in a zip code still. But when you get on connect and go under where the virtual meeting is, it lists all the virtual meeting times and under that it lists workshops that are closing. Looks like my meeting is all that survived the cut.

So when meetings open back up I wonder what the schedule will be? The virtual meetings are the same time as the studio meetings with the same leader and receptionists.
They can't be in both places at once. 🤷♀️

I wonder if members will opt for other apps than those of WW and choose to have personal support meetings in homes again as they did LONG ago.

A lot of people on the FB groups are asking about itrackbites. While others are worshipping WW as gods who have to do what they have to do and if that means eliminating meetings, then it is okay. I have to laugh!
FB indicates that the pandemic and staying home has caused overeating and thus weight gain. WW could of used this for their advantage, but the powers that be seem to be missing that. If they truly want to compete with other apps, then the digital price needs to come down and be a reasonble yearly fee like the others. Right now if you're paying full price for the WW app, you're spending $240 a year(approximate). The other apps run about $25 to $60 a year. So for just app use they need to come down. They can have a higher charge for zoom meetings and another for meetings.

Two of the VW from the center I go to are shutting down after this week. When I looked on the web page all the ou!
It will be interesting to see how they handle when the studio opens back up. The space is small and the blue chairs are pretty tight! If they decide to stay online only, there is no way I'm going to pay $45 a month! Heck, even the $20 a month for just digital is pricey! I may have to go back to another app.

Just purely guessing here, but if they are smart they will give the rising stars on the VM scene a fuller schedule to open the Center Leaders schedules back up. For areas with no actual WW Center it makes sense to keep those traveler meetings open if they are profitable, but I am thinking those others will be history. This was probably in the works well along. |

I checked my meeting location on the website and on Connect. My meeting location is a store front and still has 12 meetings listed. What I noticed was that on Saturday there are 3 morning meetings - 7, 8 and 9:30 which are listed on the website and Connect. When we were meeting at the studio there were two Saturday morning meetings 8 and 9:30. The 7 a.m. meeting is a meeting that is from one of the other studios that has been merged into my meeting location's VW ID. I checked the studios that were merged into my meeting location's Zoom ID and all of those are showing 0 meetings. I am thinking (hopefully not wishful thinking) that just because they are showing 0 at some locations it may not necessarily mean that those meetings locations are not coming back just that they have been rolled into another meeting's VW location? So perhaps they have just cleaned up the website meeting location finder to reflect what is going on in VW? The meeting location close to Stratcat45 that still has meetings listed is the one that I go to (or went to).
