CheqUp and Weight Watchers deepen UK partnership to bring clinical and behavioural weight health together
Weight health has long been treated as two separate conversations: the clinical one, about treatment and oversight, and the behavioural one, about habits, accountability and the everyday choices that add up over time. CheqUp and Weight Watchers are changing that.
Today we announced a significant expansion of our partnership with Weight Watchers, bringing the two sides of sustainable weight health into a single, more connected experience for members in the UK.
What’s new
Our partnership with Weight Watchers began in 2025, when we introduced the Weight Watchers app as part of the CheqUp Method, giving all CheqUp members access to daily accountability backed by decades of behavioural science.
Now, that relationship is becoming more integrated. Weight Watchers members in the UK will be able to access a CheqUp consultation directly from the Weight Watchers website, where it is clinically appropriate. At the same time, all CheqUp members will continue to receive full, complimentary access to the Weight Watchers app, including the Weight Watchers Core+ programme and the Weight Watchers GLP-1 Companion Programme, designed to support members with personalised guidance on nutrition and healthy habits.
More than medication
CheqUp was founded on the belief that sustainable weight health is never just about medication. Real progress takes clinical rigour, dedicated human support and a clear view of your wider health, all working together.
That human support is the Health Coach: a named person who knows your history, your goals and where you are in your journey. They are not a clinical add-on. They sit firmly in the behavioural camp, helping members build the habits, confidence and self-understanding that make change last. What the Weight Watchers app does is extend that support into every day, giving members the daily accountability and tools to put those conversations into practice between sessions.
Weight Watchers brings more than 60 years of behavioural science to that daily layer: how habits form, how they stick and how small changes build over time. Together with CheqUp’s clinical oversight and Health Coach support, it creates a more connected weight health ecosystem in the UK, one where every part of the journey is held.
“This is what holistic weight health looks like in practice,” said Scott Honken, Chief Commercial Officer at Weight Watchers. “By deepening our relationship with CheqUp, we are bringing together world-class medical weight loss programme access with the behavioural science and community accountability that Weight Watchers is known for.”
“The extension of our partnership with Weight Watchers reflects our founding philosophy,” said Lisa Tookey, CEO of CheqUp. “Together, we are building a more connected weight health ecosystem in the UK, bringing clinical treatment and behaviour change into a single, seamless experience.”
The GLP-1 Companion Programme: one year on
Since launching in the UK in May 2025, the Weight Watchers GLP-1 Companion Programme has become an important part of the journey for members using weight loss treatment. Built around four pillars, personalised nutrition, medication tracking, strength and muscle support and community accountability, the programme continues to grow.
Research from Weight Watchers’ US membership shows 85% of GLP-1 Companion Programme members say Weight Watchers makes it easier to get healthy, with 81% describing it as the perfect partner on their weight health journey.* All CheqUp members receive this as part of their membership, at no additional cost.
One journey, every part of it supported
This expanded partnership brings UK members closer to the integrated model already available to Weight Watchers members in the United States, where clinical and behavioural support have long worked in step.
For CheqUp members, it means a more complete experience: the right treatment, the right clinical oversight, a Health Coach who knows your name and the daily accountability to make progress last.
