Free weight management care available in BGC this November

A free weight management program will be made available in BGC from November 16 to 18 and 28 to 30, allowing up to 1,000 participants to receive medically guided weight loss care at no cost.

Men’s telehealth platform GoRocky and its recently acquired women’s health provider Kindred Health are offering up to ₱5 million worth of free weight management care through a program called The Weight Is Over.

Up to 1,000 eligible participants who visit the Kindred Clinic in Serendra, Bonifacio Global City, on any of the six days will receive a free one-month metabolic health program designed to address weight-related concerns.

Walk-in patients will be accepted, but must undergo an onsite medical consultation and eligibility assessment.

The one-month free program will include doctor consultations, a baseline body-composition assessment, and weight-management treatment when prescribed by a licensed physician. Participants will also receive a voucher for Vita, GoRocky’s artificial intelligence-guided health app.

The Weight Is Over first launched as a 100-patient program in September this year, with plans to accommodate more participants moving forward.

“TWIO has been expanded with a faster patient journey, increased capacity, body-composition assessments, improved content and waiting areas, and a doctor stationed at the clinic throughout each event day to accommodate walk-ins and immediate patient concerns,” GoRocky said in a statement.

The program adds to ongoing efforts to address rising obesity in the country. The Department of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute found that nearly 44.5% of Filipino adults aged 20 to 59 were classified as obese in 2025.

The DOST-FNRI survey also found that 52.7% of adults in the National Capital Region were classified as obese.

Body Mass Index classifications from 384 sampled households nationwide also found that obesity was more common among women, with a prevalence of 50.1%.
