This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether digital tools like wearable fitness devices—combined with personalized coaching—can help people with obesity or pre-obesity make lasting changes to their activity levels and health. You'll wear a device that tracks your movement and sleep, and depending on which group you're assigned to, you'll receive coaching and feedback either through technology alone, from a professional health coach online, or from a peer coach. The researchers want to see if these approaches help people stick with healthier habits and improve their heart health, fitness, and quality of life.
Many people with obesity struggle to lose weight and stay active, and traditional weight loss programs don't work for everyone or are expensive. This study is exploring whether using affordable digital tools and different types of coaching can make it easier for people to make lasting healthy changes.

You'll be randomly placed into one of four groups for 14 weeks. All participants will receive a wearable fitness device to track your daily steps, activity level, and sleep. Depending on your group, you'll either use the device with app-based feedback alone, meet with a professional health coach in an online group setting, connect with a peer coach online, or receive basic health information with minimal coaching. You'll likely complete questionnaires about your health, fitness, and quality of life before, during, and after the study.
