As the president of LIFE Eric devised the science behind one of the most effective weight loss strategies in the world. Eric spearheaded the boot camp revolution that has taken the nation by a storm. With over 22 years of experience he has scientifically perfected with tested proven results a program that erupted well before the biggest looser and other television network weight loss programs. He believes that what makes LIFE undoubtedly a powerful life altering organization is that although it is growing at an incredible pace it is still a deeply personal and intimate assessment of each individual client that becomes part of the community. Eric expertly hand picks all of the state of the art equipment, every trainer, manager and anybody that has access to the clients based on their experience. He is positive that LIFE has the best equipment and team working for the clients with a collective 200 years of experience, knowledge and supreme expertise. Additionally, LIFE has explored a psychological component that no other company has delved into. Behavioral therapy is an extensive part of altering the client’s behavior for life and Eric believes this is often the root and an agent of change.

As the executive vice president Sarah has been an integral part of L.I.F.E’s growth since its commencement, and an invaluable component to its success. Starting out as a client at the camp more than eleven years ago, she gained an intimate understanding of what Eric Viskovicz’s life changing philosophy was all about. She had tried absolutely every diet, meal plan and drug known to man to try to lose weight. Eric’s L.I.F.E.™ program was the only plan that focused on the third key to sustaining successful weight loss, the Mind. Eric taught her how to master her mind for long-term weight loss success, and at that moment, she knew she had to help others to do the same thing. Understanding the challenges, obstacles, and struggles and what it takes to overcome them has been a key element in enabling Sarah to better serve clients. Since then her contributions have been critical components to the expansion of the program.

In her current role as Executive Vice President she is vital to the operations of the company. Throughout the years, she has been the lead Reservations Coordinator, encouraging countless people to trust in to the LIFE Program. Early on at the company, she developed the meal plan and nutritional aspects of the program – at one point even cooking the guest’s meals. She also has worked with guests as a personal trainer and weight management specialist. Her specialty has been working with women and children in the following areas: fat reduction; lifestyle change for fitness and nutrition; body sculpting; childhood obesity and fitness; heavily obese women; and prenatal and postpartum exercise.

As Vice President of L.I.F.E.™ Joel brings to the company his valuable business expertise to help with the companies growth. He considers himself to be creative, hardworking, fun-loving and dedicated to the community here at L.I.F.E.™ He believes that hard work is a measure of what you do every day, not just some days. His motivation for what he does here comes from watching his mother struggle through a severe ailment. She regained her health by changing her lifestyle to include proper nutrition and exercise. From this experience, Joel developed a passion for health and fitness and his motto became to live fully and teach others about living a healthy lifestyle.

His decision to stay and grow with the company was further cemented when he observed Eric Viskovicz maintaining contact with former clients, helping them push through to meet their goals and making sure they continued their success individually. This genuine sincerity and desire in wanting to make people’s lives struck a cord with Joel in his final decision to work for L.I.F.E.™ Joel would love to help grow this company from what some refer to as a live-in-fat camp into a community of people seeking the change they want to see in their mind and bodies. With thousands of fad diets and TV infomercial scams, the opportunity to create a real product that is both effective and exciting has been the engine fueling L.I.F.E.™ With the obesity epidemic taking the nation by a storm, he feels that we need to take Eric’s message to a broader audience. Among others, his initiatives include making school cafeterias a healthier place for kids, and making health and fitness knowledge accessible to everyone.

Nicola’s story is true and dear to the very core of what L.I.F.E.™ is all about. Growing up she was an energetic adolescent, as she led an active lifestyle engaging in sports was the norm. However, as her career quickly shifted and her profession changed so did her level of activity, dropping to an all time low. Her weight rapidly got out of control and she saw herself tipping the scale at an excess weight of 70 lbs. After several attempts to loose weight failed, feeling hopeless and distraught she came to the weight loss camp in hopes of regaining her former self. L.I.F.E.™ would prove to be the fountain of hope she was searching for. The camp was a great fitness network, challenging, yet rewarding. It was new and exciting, and the variety of boot camps kept her interest, but most importantly it worked! She saw her weight drop from size 18 to size 6, and has managed to keep the weight off for 9 years. On account of her battle with her weight Nicola has an innermost understanding of the issues regarding weight loss and weight gain- the struggles, frustrations, plateaus, and results, and most importantly, maintaining a lifestyle that caters the new you.

By working closely with the president, Eric Viskovicz, for the past nine years, she has learned the philosophy and vision of the company as it has come to fruition. Losing the weight nourished her newly found confidence leading her to seek a career path as a certified trainer, and in turn she has been able to help others through her profound understanding of their struggle. She started with L.I.F.E.™ as a boot camp instructor, and now holds the position of Managing Director overseeing the Marina Del Rey facility. She looks forward to being a part of the continued growth of the company.

Laura began her career early on as a court reporter but her passion for working with numbers led her to a career path in the accounting industry.

After giving birth, working at L.I.F.E.™ helped Laura whip her body back into shape in a short amount of time. Laura met her husband at a gym and the two of them incorporate many of the strategies, and programs she has learned at L.I.F.E.™ in her own family dynamics. She says that her time at L.I.F.E.™ has been priceless in the vast amount of knowledge she has accumulated about staying healthy. L.I.F.E.™ taught her that eating proper nutritious meals is something she must use daily at home and something she will take with her for the rest of her life.

Jennifer studied at Berkley to be a nurse and she watched as many patients came to the hospital because of the poor nutritional habits they had developed in their lives. She also saw many patients leave the hospital without getting the necessary tools needed to be successful in the life. She wanted to follow a career path that would enable her to help people with their nutritional profile before they entered into a hospital because of their eating habits or poor nutrition.

Jennifer believes that it takes an entire team to get someone healthy. She relates the ancient African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child and that taking that same philosophy to health, she thinks it also takes a village or a team to get someone who has taken the wrong path in their life with regards to fitness and nutrition to get back on the right path.

Michael’s passion for cuisines began early in his career at the young age of 15 when he worked for a family owned restaurant. He trained under many prominent Southern California chefs before moving to Austin Texas where he opened an Italian restaurant for a friend called Mezzaluna.

Joshua’s passion for cooking began within his household. He felt as though cooking became his stress reliever, an excuse to cook a delicious healthy meal and simultaneously get away from the world. When he began his culinary career, a nutrition class was part of the mandatory curriculum. Suddenly, the combination of nutriment and food became his primary interest. LIFE gives him the opportunity to blend two of his most beloved interests and to teach the clients what a wholesome meal is all about.

Joshua’s take on the American diet is that it is a distorted version of what real food and a balanced meal is all about. He makes it a priority to give people direction towards a better beneficial and sustaining diet. He wants others to recognize and understand that food can be delectable without it being tainted by preservatives and refined sugars. He has a mastery over what he calls real food; nutritional food that tastes great. Although many of the entrees and meals they serve may seem complex, Josh assures his clients that they are simple, familiar dishes that anybody can make at home. However, these same dishes are infused with that healthy balance of nutrients that LIFE chefs specialize in.
