In brief
- No fixed package and no fixed price are known for extra service (reference date 21-10-2026).
- About €3.55 per day. The starting point is the standard programme: 12 months for €108 per month or €1,295 per year (Overgewicht Nederland B.V., 21-10-2026).
- We regularly hear that people want more contact than the standard programme offers (Overgewicht Nederland B.V., 21-10-2026).
- Outside the programme, you can go to the provider for a REE measurement, InBody and personal advice (Overgewicht Nederland B.V., 21-10-2026).
Why extra personal coaching tailored to you
We regularly hear that people want more contact. Exactly what someone wants differs from person to person: talking to someone more often, getting an answer faster or involving a partner. There is no ready-made plus package with a price tag. A fixed package would also be too much for one person and too little for another.
So the approach is the other way round. You tell us what you are looking for. Then you discuss with Overgewicht Nederland B.V. what is possible and what it costs. Only once you know that do you decide. No strings attached until you sign an agreement.
This is mainly for people who already know that they benefit from more structure, and who are willing to pay more for it than for the standard programme. Not sure whether you need extra? Then start with the regular weight loss coaching. You can always indicate later that you want more.
Extra coaching wishes you can mention
Below are examples of questions you can ask yourself. They are not commitments: whether something is possible and what it costs, you will hear in the conversation. They do help you get clear on what you are looking for.
Do you want more frequent contact?
Perhaps you notice that you do well as long as someone is keeping an eye on things, and that you slip when there are a few weeks between sessions. How often would you like to talk to someone? Every week, or shorter and more often? Do you want to be able to send a message in between?
Do you want a regular coach?
Many people find it pleasant not to have to tell their story all over again. Is it important to you to work with the same person throughout the programme? Then say so. If you have a preference for a coach with knowledge of the menopause or of PCOS, you can mention that too. According to the provider, the team is specially trained in PCOS and in supporting people on GLP-1 medication.
Do you want contact outside office hours?
Do you work irregular hours or have no quiet moment during the day? Then ask whether a conversation in the evening or at the weekend is an option. Think in advance about which times you really need, so the conversation becomes concrete.
Do you want extra measurements?
Some people find it motivating to see what is changing in their body, and not just on the scales. With the provider you can get your resting metabolic rate measured and an InBody measurement of fat and muscle. How often do you want to measure, and what do you want to do with the result? An InBody measurement is mainly useful for following your own progress, measured under the same conditions (Merrigan et al., 2022).
Do you want to take part together with your partner?
You rarely lose weight on your own. You eat with your family, your partner does the shopping, or you both want to live more healthily. Do you want your partner to be present at conversations, or to follow a programme together? Also read what family and friends can do to see how to involve someone close to you.
The standard programme as the basis for extra support
Everything starts with the standard programme. About €3.55 per day. That is 12 months of coaching sessions, according to Overgewicht Nederland B.V. for €108 per month by direct debit or €1,295 per year. Extra service comes on top of that. What it costs is not known; you will hear that in the conversation.
| Component | Standard | Extra |
|---|---|---|
| Term | 12 months | By arrangement |
| Price | €3.55 per day; €108 per month or €1,295 per year With doctor, coach and psychologist | Not known |
| Contact | Coaching sessions | Discussing your wishes |
| Measurements | Can be requested separately | Discussing your wishes |
Prefer cheaper and longer? Works out at €2.84 per day. Then the research programme may suit you better: 15 months for €1,295 with three extensive measurement moments. You do take part in a placebo-controlled study, though. First read how the research programme works.
How to request extra service with your support
- Choose "Extra personal support" in the form. That option is already selected if you use the form on this page.
- You will be called within one working day. Then tell them what you are looking for. The more concrete, the better.
- You hear what is possible and what it costs. Take your time over it. Ask for the agreements in writing.
- You decide. If it does not suit you, you can still choose the standard programme, or nothing at all.
Tip: write down in advance which two or three wishes matter most to you. That makes the conversation concrete and stops you paying for things you do not use. On the page for signing up for support you will find a list of questions you can ask in any introductory conversation.
What personal support plus is not
More contact with a coach is something different from medical care. A diagnosis and medication belong with your doctor, not with the support programme. If you have medical complaints, take a lot of medication or are unsure whether losing weight is sensible, your GP (huisarts) remains your point of contact. For complex problems you can also read about complex obesity care.
If it is mainly about binge eating, low mood or constantly having to think about food, psychological help may be needed. The guideline for overweight and obesity mentions referral (verwijzing) to a mental health practice nurse (POH-GGZ), psychologist or psychiatrist as an option (Partnerschap Overgewicht Nederland, July 2023). You arrange that through your GP (huisarts). Extra coaching sessions can offer support alongside this, but are not a replacement.

Frequently asked questions about extra personal support
What does extra personal weight loss coaching cost?
There is no known fixed price for that. Converted per day: €3.55. The starting point is the standard programme at €108 per month or €1,295 per year, according to Overgewicht Nederland B.V. What extra service costs is not known. You will hear that in the conversation after you sign up, and you only decide once you know the amount.
Can I have the same coach throughout the weight loss programme?
You can ask. Whether it is possible, you will hear in the conversation after you sign up. Explain why it is important to you, for example because you do not want to keep telling your story all over again. If you have a preference for someone with knowledge of the menopause, PCOS or GLP-1 medication, mention that too.
Can I have more contact with my coach than standard?
That is exactly the kind of wish this page is for. We regularly hear that people want more contact. How often and in what form that is possible, and what it costs, is discussed in the conversation. Think beforehand about how often you want to talk to someone, so you can ask a concrete question.
Can I also talk to a personal weight loss coach online?
You can ask: how the coaching sessions take place is agreed in the introductory meeting. Feel free to say that you would rather talk by video or phone, for example because you live far away or have little time. Do bear in mind that measurements such as the REE measurement and the InBody take place in Amersfoort. So ask in advance how often you need to come to Amersfoort for them.
What are simple habits that help with weight loss?
Small habits that you repeat every day without much effort are easier to keep up than a strict diet. Think of regular mealtimes, water instead of fizzy drinks, vegetables with every meal, more walking in your daily routine and going to bed on time. Choose one or two first and build them up gradually. A coach mainly helps you keep them up when things are difficult, such as in a busy or bad week.
Can I have extra measurements done alongside the standard programme?
Yes, with the provider you can also book a REE measurement, an InBody measurement and personal advice separately. How often that makes sense within your programme is something you discuss in the conversation. Which measurements are available and what they offer you can be read under obesity care in the Amersfoort region.
What does a personal trainer for weight loss cost?
There is no fixed amount: rates differ per trainer, per session and per package. Pay close attention to what you are comparing. A personal trainer focuses mainly on exercise, whereas weight loss coaching is also about eating, behaviour and keeping going. Ask every provider what is included in the price, how long you are tied in and how you cancel. What extra coaching costs here, you will hear in the conversation after you sign up.
How do I request extra service with my coaching?
Fill in the form on this page. The option "Extra personal coaching" will then already be selected. You will be called within one working day. Tell us in that conversation what you are looking for. If you are already following the programme, you can also pass your wish on to your coach.
Does health insurance cover extra coaching for overweight?
Do not assume so. Nothing is known about insurance cover for this programme, and the same applies to extra service. The reimbursed route is the combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) through your GP (huisarts). If you want to know whether you qualify, read the explanation of the reimbursed GLI.
Is extra coaching the same as help from a psychologist?
No. Coaching helps you with eating, exercise and keeping it up, but it is not treatment. The guideline for overweight and obesity mentions referral (verwijzing) to a mental health practice nurse (POH-GGZ), psychologist or psychiatrist as an option. That goes through your GP (huisarts). If you recognise that your mind keeps turning to food, read about food noise and the urge to eat.
What is 1-to-1 weight loss coaching?
With 1-to-1 coaching you only talk to your own coach, without a group. The sessions are then entirely about your situation, such as your work, your family, your health or the menopause. That can be pleasant if you would rather not share your story in a group. Whether the sessions in the programme are individual and how often you can get extra contact, you can ask in the conversation after you sign up.
Can a personal coach also help you with exercise?
A coach for overweight can help you move more and keep it up, but is not the same as a fitness trainer. The conversations are about how exercise fits into your week, what you enjoy and what holds you back. If you want help with strength training or a schedule, a trainer or physiotherapist is the right person. If you have heart or joint problems, consult your GP (huisarts) first. You can track your muscle mass with an InBody measurement of your body fat percentage.
How many days does it take to lose 10 kilos?
There is no honest fixed number of days to give for that. It depends on your starting weight, your body, your health, your medication and how much you can change in your life. Be careful with promises of quick results, because what goes quickly is often hard to keep up. Discuss with your GP (huisarts) or coach what pace is sensible for you. That is also why the support programme for overweight lasts a year or longer.
Does losing weight with personal coaching work better than on your own?
Coaching can help, especially with keeping going, but no one can promise you a result in advance. According to the factsheet of the guideline for overweight and obesity, the combined lifestyle intervention (GLI) covers nutrition, exercise and behaviour together; so losing weight is more than a diet. A regular person who knows your situation makes it easier to pick up the thread again after a setback. Whether extra contact is worth it for you is discussed in the conversation after you sign up.
Who can help me lose weight?
That depends on what you need. Your GP (huisarts) is the starting point for medical questions and for a referral to the reimbursed combined lifestyle intervention (GLI). A dietitian helps you with your eating pattern, a lifestyle coach or paid coach with keeping going, and a psychologist via the GP if eating and emotions are closely linked. If you take obesity medication, your doctor supervises it. If in doubt, describe your question in the form on this page.
