Omada has been a great way to stay motivated with a personal coach and group with informative lessons and a free scale provided to track weight loss progress.

Stephanie Ramirez, Practice Manager / CU Anschutz
January 2022

This has been helpful as weight loss coaching. They have a group that you are assigned to that provides support, recipes, etc. They also send you a free scale to monitor your weight daily.

Although I appreciate the purpose of Omada, it really wasn't for me. I thought that it was more of an overall fitness app for a diverse audience, but this seems a bit more for people who are struggling with a bit more extreme weight issues. For the time that I used it, I found it beneficial in re-examining my relationship to food and exercise, but I am overall pretty healthy and didn't need the excess of learning.

- I like being able to track progress

- Reminders are also helpful

- Some lessons are great, some are generic/common sense

Alandria Hatcher, Research Services Senior Professional / CU Anschutz

I love the reminders and updates you get from Omada. Their plans are sensible and realistic!

Omada has helped me on my weight loss journey, and assisted me in losing over 20lbs thus far.

Johan Allingmon, Clinical Research Coordinator / CU Anschutz
April 2024

It helped get straight with getting my weight under control and not "yo-yo" diet. It was easy to keep track of my weight and get a good start with all the help you get from using Omada.

Audra Staufenberg, Engagement & Wellbeing Specialist / CU Anschutz
April 2024

What a great program for those looking to control blood sugar, weight and other health markers. They gave me a personalized health coach to help answer questions and encourage me along the way. Each week has a different focus on small lifestyle changes you can make that add up to big impacts. It's supportive and informative rather than "diet program" preachy.
