Profile already has helped almost 800 people in Minneapolis through the Profile Anywhere phone-based coaching model.

“Residents of the Twin Cities are known for their commitment to recreation and healthy lifestyles,” said Rick Ehrman, one of the lead investors in the Minneapolis franchise. “We know there’s an appetite here for what Profile by Sanford offers – a window into better living through healthier food and lifestyle coaching.”

Profile is headquartered in Sioux Falls and has stores in 14 states. Through its phone-based coaching service, Profile Anywhere, the company serves members in 49 states. The Profile program, which was developed by physicians and researchers at Sanford Health, started in 2012 and has helped members lose more than 1.26 million pounds.
