George lost an amazing 8.64% fat in only two weeks. He also put on 4.15 lbs of lean mass in only two weeks. It’s unbelievable but true. Work hard and the results will come. please remember these results are almost impossible and results may vary from person to person.

 

Q: How did you come about Live-in-Fitness and first meet Eric?

A: I met Eric in 2012 when I attended the location in California, I was impressed by the program and my great results. So when I decided I wanted to go back to a fitness camp. I told my wife I want to go to the fitness camp I remembered attending back in 2012.

 

 

 

Q: Where are you from?

 

A: Lancaster PA.

 

 

 

Q: What is your career?

 

A: Owner of a family Tennis Club 

 

 

 

Q: When did you notice a weight pattern or change if it applies?

 

A: I think everybody comes in at the very beginning of the program and you have expectations of what you think you are going to do. I also saw people around me and I could hear the results some other people were getting. Some were good and some bad and I just decided I was going to put in the hard work needed to achieve my goals. By day three the food was incredible! I just felt better and I really noticed the difference! 

 

 

Q: How did it make you feel/or affect your lifestyle?

A: When I was on my walk on the third day I could feel my body changing I just felt like things were going well. This has always been the lifestyle that I want to live. Waking up in the morning eating healthy, working out, and feeling good! For me, this was a very big reset to carry on once I leave the program. It’s easy to fall back into your old trap once you leave the program. I believe Live in Fitness has given us all the tools to be able to continue our progress on our own at home. Eric really pushes you by giving you all the tools you need at home. 

 

 

Q: What did you expect when coming here to Live in Fitness? Then & Now?

A: The one thing I think people should really know is that if you are coming here with the mindset you are attending a resort it’s not. What I do know, Eric’s system works! You come here and put in the work. If you come to Live in Fitness and do what you are supposed to do and you eat the food without variations and without cheating, you will get good results and it’s been proven. My expectation when I came back this time is to remember why I am here. The California location was beautiful it was incredible! At first, once I got dropped off at the hangar (the gym) I was like “uh oh” For the first 2 days I was nervous unsure if I wanted to stay. Then you settle in…so I was like ok, I am not here for a resort, I am here to get in good shape! So I followed the program and worked hard on what I needed to do. That was the biggest part for me. Understanding I came here for the program, not the accommodations!

 

 

Q: How do you feel about your progress so far this time?

 

A: My results blew me away! 

 

 

 

 

Q: What is your opinion on Eric’s philosophies and approach to fitness and coaching?

 

A: He does an incredible job! I mean Eric really does know his stuff with the equal carbohydrates, protein, and the portion of that as fat. I think that the recipe he believes in is incredible. Now I know protein is a big deal! The two takeaways I will be taking from my stay are much more protein and incorporating more weight training in my routine.

 

 

 

 

Q: What do you look for in a Coach?

 

A: I struggle to take advice from someone who is not knowledgeable in their field. Second, someone who knows when to push me when I need to be pushed and compassionate when needed. I believe those are the biggest qualities in a coach and a great feel for a coach. I look for a coach who can be able to sense when to push a little harder and when to have a little grace. I think that the fine line is very important.

 

 

 

Q: What did you enjoy about the program? classes? lectures? staff? clients? favorite Class? What have been your favorite chef dishes?

 

A: My favorite class is Luca’s flexibility and mobility class. I don’t work on this enough at home. Chefs meals to be honest were a home run! Every single meal I looked forward to, the food is obsolete exceptional!

 

 

Q: What advice would you give others contemplating attending the program?

 

A: I would tell them the program works!

 

 

 

Q: What advice would you give to others? Quote? Statement?

A: The one thing for me that I preach to my children all the time is to stay present and breathe. Even when I was thinking about leaving, in the beginning, is that I think our mind likes to spend time in the future or in the past. When I am working out and things get tuff I just remind myself to breathe and stay present taking one minute at a time.

HERE ARE SOME OF THEIR EXPERIENCES HERE AT LIVE IN FITNESS

q: How did you come about Live-in-Fitness and first meet Eric? 

a: I researched numerous fitness and weight loss residential camps online and chose LIVE IN FITNESS. wE had put weight on during COVID and needed a reset as we brought in the New Year of 2023. This time WE DECIDED TO DO IT TOGETHER!

 

q: Where are you from? 

a: Montgomery ALABAMA

 

Q: What is your career? 

a: lEE IS retired from Alabama Medicaid Agency, Deputy Commissioner. AND Steve is a retired Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who still works a little part-time.

 

q: When did you notice a weight pattern or change if it applies? 

a: The weight gain was gradual when the world as we had known it came to a halt because of COVID. The gym we were going to at home WAS closed because of COVID and in-store grocery shopping for fresh food became more challenging. Steve and I both put on about 15 lbs DURING THE PANDEMIC.

 

q: How did it make you feel/or affect your lifestyle?

a: With the weight gain, we felt sluggish and neither of us cared for the belly fat.

 

q: What did you expect when coming here to LIVE IN FITNESS? then & now?

a: BECAUSE I (LEE) had been in 2020, I had a good idea that it would be familiar. It is not a spa. It is not a place to exercise at leisure. It is a structured environment built for success for people serious about losing weight, getting fit, staying fit, and learning how to care for themselves at home after THEIR TIME AT LIVE IN FITNESS.

 

q: How do you feel about your progress so far this time? 

a: We are very pleased with our progress. We are in our late 60s and knew it would be challenging to gain lean muscle mass at our ages. However, I knew from my time in early 2020 that gaining lean muscle mass at my age is possible under a multifaceted program that monitors calories, weight, and body mass (via the weekly body dunks) and follows up with a prescribed meal plan designed by Eric to lose weight and gain lean mass. We have taken advantage of some of the offerings INCLUDING stretching sessions, personal training, and quicker recovery.

 

Q: What is your opinion on Eric’s philosophies and approach to fitness and coaching?

a: It is clear that Eric is passionate about helping people get fit and feel better. He is involved in the review of each participants resting metabolic rate, calories burned each day, and fat. His program includes take-home resources including FitClubTv, a 30-day nutritional plan, and many resources on the Live In Fitness website.

 

q: What do you look for in a Coach?

a: Someone knowledgeable about the age-related needs of the clients they help, and a combination of “Push” (no slacking) and encouragement. sUCH AS PUSHING OUR incline up when it’s clear WE can handle it but OFFERING a modification when something is too challenging.

 

q: What did you enjoy about the program? classes? lectures? staff? clients?

a: we love the early morning hikes in the mountains and buttes. I enjoy the atmosphere of excitement AND passion for being the best version of US that WE can be! wE ENJOYED THE structured classes, and helpful lectures about fitness and nutrition, the test results and what they mean to me individually, and all the tools provided after we get home so that the success can continue and become the new mindset.

 

q: Favorite Class? What have been your favorite chef dishes?

a: wE don’t have a favorite class, WE like them all, although I do have A love/hate RELATIONSHIPS with some of them! 

 

Q: Favorite chef dishes?

a: As far as favorite dishes, Taco Tuesdays are fabulous! Salmon is served often and it is prepared in different delicious ways. Since my husband and I love salmon, I’ve taken pictures and made notes about the preparation of those dishes. We also loved the bowl that tasted like a chipotle chicken bowl. The omelets are also exceptional!

 

q: What advice would you give others contemplating attending the program?

a: If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you are willing to put a lot of energy into the workouts and you want tools to bring back home with you to make the change permanent, this is the place. Don’t come here if you want to attend a spa with optional fitness classes. This is a work-your-buns-off, sweaty kind of camp! Ladies don’t fix their hair or wear makeup here. You are going to be sore, you will need to hydrate. The benefits will be WORTH EVERY CALORIE YOU BURN!

 

q: What advice would you give to others? Quote? Statement?

a: “Invest in yourself”. The work you do at the camp and the knowledge you take home with you may just change your life and give you more quality time with your loved ones. It’s great to feel healthy with more energy.

HEAR ABOUT HER STORY BELOW

 

Q: How did you come about Live-in-Fitness and first meet Eric?

A: I found out about Live In Fitness by searching the web for something like the show “The Biggest Loser.” I had no idea Live In Fitness existed! I found what I was looking for.

 

Q: Where are you from?

A: I am from Rio Grande Valley, Texas. 

 

Q: What is your career

A: I am a paramedic, I will be starting nursing school in the fall. 

 

Q: When did you notice a weight pattern or change if it applies?

A: It honestly felt from one day to the next because I didn’t even notice it but I want to say probably about 2 to 3 years ago. I woke up one day and It was just hard to move around and do daily activities. I feel like it has progressively gotten worst ever since.

 

Q: How did it make you feel/or affect your lifestyle?

A: I never thought I was in shape. We would eat all the time. I remember getting out of the water and feeling more hungry. Not following a healthy diet made it difficult for me to maintain my flexibility. 

 

Q: What were your biggest struggles?

A: Not being able to move the way I wanted to.

 

Q: What did you expect when coming here to LIFE? then & now?

A: The only thing I wanted was movement. Being able to move and do things as a normal person would. I honestly did not expect to lose as much weight as I have!

 

Q: How do you feel about your progress?

A: I feel so much better! I really do. I feel like it’s almost day and night from when I started to now! I know I still have more to go but this has set me up to go the rest of the way!

 

 

Q: What so far about the program has worked for you?

A: I used to be outside all the time growing up being in the water as well as even being called fish as a nickname. Starting my days with the hike every day at Live In Fitness, has helped me get a chance to do lap swims! It takes me back and reminds me of the things I used to love to do. Whether it was diving, fishing, or surfing. I’m glad I got the chance to enjoy the activities here at LIF.

 

Q: What is your opinion on Eric’s philosophies and approach to fitness and coaching?

A: Even being in the medical field I noticed it’s a very different approach than what I am used to. It’s like “What? Aren’t you suppose to eat less to lose weight?” That approach and the way Eric has his program down works! You can see it and feel the difference! 

 

Q: What do you look for in a coach?

A: Someone who is accountable. Who can make me accountable that is one of my struggles. I also, look for someone who is positive. I can’t have someone who will be negative or passive-aggressive. 

 

Q: What is your favorite class? What have been your favorite dishes?

A: I still have to say hikes in the mornings. All of chef Jason’s cooking is delicious but I still dream about his breakfast nachos! I took like 20 pictures of that dish!

Q: What advice would you give others contemplating attending the program?

A: I would advise others to try the program for at least two weeks! Also, bring everything on the list with you! 

 

Q: What advice would you give to others? Quote? Statement?

A: “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errors and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

—Theodore Roosevelt

It looks like your list of fitness goals just got one bigger, as a Spanish climber — Kilian Jornet — has set a new record for summiting Mt. Everest, by doing it in just 26 hours.

Jornet’s climb is the fastest known ascent of Everest and, to add icing to the cake, he did it all without fixed ropes or bottled oxygen. Feeling inspired? Us too. So instead of spending another lunch break al-desko, let MH move mountains to improve your fitness with a mind and muscle-boosting programme that will match Jornet’s feat.

eight-week workout plan you will scale the equivalent of the mighty 29,028ft Mount Everest, without the frostbite, in your lunch break. To give you a headstart we asked two-time Everest climber Adele Pennington, and mountaineering legend Conrad Anker what it would take to replicate each stage of the climb from Base Camp to the summit using regular gym equipment. The final workout was put together with fitness trainer and boot camp pioneer Eric Viskovicz. By the end of MH’s two-month Everest experience you’ll be a new man, he says. “The physical gains should be a 20% increase in VO2 max. And with the proper nutrition, the climber will have increased muscle mass by 2-5lb(0.9-2.3kg).” Complete the workouts specified and you’ll be able to look down on the whole world.
