Tanner Lost 8.5 Lbs in 1 Week “Any body type, Live In Fitness works!”

Client of the week,
Congratulations Tanner!
Live In Fitness helped Tanner become the best version of himself and lose 8.5 pounds in one week! From a busy athletic and career driven life, to being exhausted and experiencing ultimate burnout, Tanner chose Live In Fitness to get him back on the right path.

 

What do you do for a living?

“I work with my dad in shopping center development and we own a ranch as wellwhere we put on rodeos twice a year.“

When did you notice a weight pattern or change?

“My entire life I’ve been an athlete. Then about eight months ago I let all of that go and gained 45 pounds in those eight months.”

What made you stop being athletic?

“I was just tired of working so hard. I needed a break from everything including exercise. My drive was gone. So I just worked and kept to myself.”

How did it make you feel and affect your lifestyle?

“I was in a fog. I didn’t know what I really wanted. It was horrible. But coming here it’s like that fog has been lifted.”

What were you biggest struggles before coming here?

“Work getting in the way and lack of organization. Being at Live In Fitness has really restructured my views on my priorities back to where they used to be when life was better.”

Why did you choose LIF?

“My mom stayed at Live In Fitness a few weeks ago and fell in love with the place! When she came home she couldn’t stop raving about it and told me that it was perfect for me too. I came the following week.”

What did you expect when coming to LIF?

“I really didn’t know. I just showed up. But then the program started and it was perfect. I thought I was walking into half of what you offer, but expectations were exceeded by a longshot.”

How do you feel about your progress so far?

“I’m really happy. I’ve always been a person who has a delayed weight loss but the first week here I lost 8.5 pounds. For a guy that was so out of shape before he showed up, it was incredible.”

What has been a highlight of the program?

”The staff! Every time I see the coaches they stop and talk about the workouts, ask how I’m feeling, they’re always checking in. I feel like it’s always about me. It makes it so much easier when the trainers are this personable, that’s why I don’t miss any classes. I enjoy being around all of them!”

What did you enjoy about the program, classes, lectures, staff and clients?

“This is going to sound weird, but the first thing I enjoyed was how sore I was. I missed that feeling. It’s a good sore. I felt like an athlete again. Gaining that feeling back lit a fire in me. Also, all the information I get in the lectures from Eric, the nutritionist, the chef. They explain so much. I was only supposed to be here for one week but I extended my stay so I could soak up even more information. I wanted to double down on the program because it’s great!”

What makes the coaches here different?

“The coaches are amazing. They cater to everybody and deal with some of the fittest people I’ve ever met and some of the most out of shape people. They are able to give individual attention to each person here and push each person. I’ve never worked out this hard in my life and I’ve been an athlete my entire life.”

How has this changed your outlook on life?

“I am so much happier. The brain fog that I was experiencing has lifted. Before I could only see a few feet in front of me and was constantly lying to myself about my health and being overweight. But now I can see a lot clearer. I have ten times as much energy and drive than I did before. I’m my favorite version of myself.”

What advice would you give others contemplating attending the program?

“Just come! I was scared. I thought I was too out of shape to come here. When I got here I realized that I was capable of so much more than I thought and that was because of the trainers. If I was home there is no way I could have done this on my own. It gave me the jumpstart that I needed and the tools to take home to keep it going. If you think you can’t take a week off, or can’t do it, trust me when I say YES YOU CAN! And you’ll thank me for recommending it. I would recommend this place from anyone! Any body type or level of fitness, Live In Fitness works!”

 

Tanner, congratulations again from all of us at Live In Fitness! You should be so incredibly proud of the world that you put into the program!

When It Came time to Choose a Vacation, Hugh Chose a Renewed LIFE Instead

When It Came time to Choose a Vacation, Live In Fitness

We’ve all been there. After a day of hard work and day to day stressors, nothing sounds better than an indulgent comforting meal and relaxing in front of the television. That is, until it catches up with you. This is what happened to Hugh. Until he made a commitment to himself and decided that he wanted to be healthier for himself and his family. Take a look at how Hugh was able to change his life and the tools he acquired during his stay at Live in Fitness.

Vacation Live In Fitness

Tell us a little about yourself:

“My wife and I lived in Chicago for 26 years and raised our 4 children there, then 5 years ago moved to the Salt Lake valley. I’ve worked as a consultant and then business manager at a law firm.  Then, when we moved to Salt Lake, my wife and I opened an Elements Massage Studio. In that time, we’ve gone from 5 rooms and 6 massage therapists to 15 rooms and over 30 therapists. It has kept us very busy.”

Wow! What amazing success! Sounds like the growth of your business was a lot to handle! When did you notice a weight pattern or change?  

“Using our savings to open and grow a new business from scratch is stressful!  I found myself stress-eating as well as eating fast food to save time. Also, I really enjoy all kinds of sweets and desserts.”

How did this method of handling stress make you feel and affect your lifestyle?

“After a while, I began to notice a steep drop in energy and ambition. After a long day with the business, I just wanted to sit in my easy chair, watch TV, and of course, snack.  Last year I had to go on blood pressure medication and this year I’m turning 60. I’d tried dieting and exercising on my own, but I could never get it going for more than a week or 2 at the most.  I knew I had to do change something or I was going to really be in trouble.”

What are you biggest struggles when it comes to healthy living?  

“As I said earlier, sweets (think donuts), fast food and too little exercise.  Beyond that, I lacked the commitment and belief I could really do it. Eating right and especially exercise just seemed to take too much time and effort.”

Why did you choose Live in Fitness to help you in your fitness journey?  

“As our business life settled down a bit, my wife and I decided we’d go on a cruise.  It was then she asked me a very vital question, “Are you sure that going on a cruise with all that food 24/7 and sitting around is what you should be doing?”  I had heard of fitness camps and occasionally thought about them, but this time I got on the internet, did my research and then asked her what she thought about me doing that instead (She’s in good shape).  To my surprise, she readily agreed. I chose Live In Fitness because it was NOT a spa, but a real health camp that worked you, fed you right and most importantly, had a strong emphasis on building a workable plan for when you went home.”

What did you expect when coming to Live in Fitness?  

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but what I found here at Live in Fitness is what I hoped it would be.  A place with firm, but helpful coaches who work you to your personal max while at the same time helping you understand the basics of how to do a good workout.  I’m also very happy with how they tailor the meals to each camper and teach nutrition. I was afraid I’d feel hungry all the time, but that has not been the case at all.  The meals are very filling, and the snacks keep the hunger away. It has been much easier to stick to the diet than I thought.”

How do you feel about your progress so far? 

“VERY ENCOURAGED! I’ve lost 14lbsgone down a belt notch, improved on all my test exercises and at the start of the day, have much more energy.  All in one week. (I’m still beat at the end of the day, but that’s what I’m shooting for.) My wife and children are proud of me as well.

What about the program has worked for you so far?  

Really, all of it.  The controlled diet, the variety of exercises and the encouragement to give it my all in every class.  The lectures are very helpful, and the other campers all seem to be friendly and supportive.”

What do you enjoy about the program, classes, lectures, staff and clients?  

“First, I have found that they all work together to change both your life while here and to prepare you to go back home with a new life style.  The coaches are friendly, informative and supportive. The classes are designed to work EVERY muscle and/or increase your flexibility. The lectures really focus on what you need to know and do when you leave (something I was really looking for) and the staff are very helpful and cheerful.  I was also very pleased on how friendly and supportive the other clients are. Some come in already in great shape trying to gain a further edge and others have months of effort in front of them just to get into normal shape again, but we all pull together to support and encourage each other.  There isn’t any judgment here for past mistakes, just optimism for what the future can hold.”

How has this changed your outlook on life?  

“After working this hard and seeing what can be achieved, taking care of myself has moved up to being a top priority in my life.  I’m not going to waste this effort and work when I get back. Also, I’m going to be around to play with my grandchildren and go on active adventures with my wife–  she’ll love that!”

What advice would you give others contemplating attending the program?  

“Look at your life now and if you’re not happy with your size and health, come here and really do something about it.  You truly can’t put a price on good health. I also believe it will help you be more successful in all other areas of your life.”

“You only have one life, make it the best by being your best.  Stop thinking about it and just do it!”

Congratulations, Joe, on dropping 6.4 lbs in 1 week and for reaching his target weight goal!!

Congratulations, Joe, on dropping 6.4 lbs in Live In Fitness.

Joe is originally from Chicago but lives in St. Louis. Even after losing some of the recommended weight by his doctor, Joe struggled to reach his target goal weight with countless hours at the gym and counting calories. He came to the conclusion that he needed help to reach his ultimate weight and fitness goals. After reviewing several fitness facility websites, he decided that the program offered by Live In Fitness was the right choice.

Your experience at Live In Fitness?

“As a Live In Fitness member at the Silver level, my body weight composition and resting metabolic rate was measured, analyzed, and explained to me on the first day, and again on my last day. I purposely did not weigh myself for the duration of my stay, hoping that I’d be pleasantly surprised by the measurements that were made on my final day. Discovering on that day that I’d lost seven pounds of body fat was the best “going away gift” ever! Getting desired results by participating in the Live In Fitness program proved to me that I could successfully achieve my weight and fitness goals by using the nutrition and physical fitness plans taught at Live In Fitness, created by Eric Viskovicz. That affirming message, along with the road map for success that Live In Fitness provides, gave me confidence that I could achieve and maintain a healthy life.”

 

Why made you decide Live In Fitness was the right choice for you?

“After reading about LIF’s program on their website, I was pretty sure I wanted to enroll. After speaking on the phone with Sarah, the person who answered my questions about LIF, I was sold. Her enthusiasm, understanding, and support was awesome. I figured that if the rest of the staff was just half as enthusiastic and supportive as she was, My LIF experience would be a very positive one!”

 

Did Live In Fitness meet your expectations?

“My thinking was that supervised diet and exercise would be what I’d get. What I got, however, was much more than that. I got an education about nutrition, a sustainable food plan rather than a diet, an enthusiastic and committed team of coaches, a welcoming environment, and a support system for maintaining and achieving my goals after I left LIF and went home. I’m very pleased with what I achieved, and very confident that I will make the lifestyle adjustments necessary to continue my progress. The commitment of the staff throughout the organization, the well explained “value proposition” that LIFE offers, the willingness of the coaches to be personally accountable (along with me, of course) for the results I wanted to achieve, the positivism that permeates the program, and the friendliness of the guests who were at LIF with me. Before, when thinking about whether or not I could develop and maintain a healthy life, my thought was “Why the heck is this so hard?”. After my time at LIF, my thought is “Hey, I can do this!”

 

Any advice for others considering Live In Fitness?

“First and foremost, my advice is to STOP CONTEMPLATING, and “Just Do It!”. Envision the future you and take the action that will get you there. The other advice I’d offer is to not be worried about how limiting you think your current fitness level will be. LIF clients of every fitness level in the spectrum attended while I was there. The individualized program approach used by LIF gives every client the opportunity for success, regardless of their fitness level upon arrival.”

 

“One of my favorite quotes is: ‘life is what happens while you are busy making other plans’. My advice would be this: Make your healthier, happier life happen at Live In Fitness!”

 

Congratulations, Joe, on reaching your goal! You are an inspiration!!
– From all of the LIFE TEAM.
