LOOKING AT UNITE?
Here’s what to consider before you book.
These are two different kinds of stays
What are you truly looking for?
Both Live In Fitness™ and Unite Fitness Retreat run structured, all-inclusive weight-loss programs. The difference is what your week is built around, and what results you're actually paying for.
If your priority is to strictly lose body fat, gain muscle, boost your metabolism, and get rid of bad habits in a clinical environment, you should look closely at what’s included in each program.
If you want serious fitness & weight loss results... Book for that!
A nice week away at a mountain retreat is fine. But if you’re tired of struggling with your weight, a standard itinerary won’t get you serious results.
You want help changing your body, and knowing what to do when you’re back home.
That’s the core of what we provide you at Live In Fitness.
Tell us your goalsKnow what you're paying for.
If you're going to spend time away from home to transform your body and health, it's important to understand the value of what's included.
Is testing included in my stay?
Live In Fitness
Four advanced metabolic and body composition tests are the foundation of our program. RMR, VO₂ Max, hydrostatic body-composition testing, and a 3D scan help us understand your starting point and personalize your nutrition and training.
Unite Fitness Retreat
Unite offers basic fitness assessments upon arrival. However, advanced clinical diagnostics like DEXA scans and metabolic lab tests are not included in the standard retreat price; they require a $1,500 Medical Weight Loss add-on package.
How much coaching will I get each day?
Live In Fitness
5–7 hours of daily coached fitness classes are included. Your custom program gives your stay structure, with coaches there to guide the work.
Unite Fitness Retreat
The standard schedule features 3–4 hours of morning fitness classes, plus an afternoon recreational outing like hiking or yoga. Private one-on-one personal training sessions and physical therapy are treated as premium add-ons.
Are my meals personalized to my body?
Live In Fitness
Your individual macro plan becomes chef-prepared meals. Nutrition is part of your daily program, with education to help you understand how to eat when you return home.
Unite Fitness Retreat
Features chef-prepared, whole-food, and protein-forward meals designed around general healthy eating guidelines. Strict macronutrient targeting customized to an individual's metabolic test data is not listed as a standard inclusion.
How will my progress be tracked?
Live In Fitness
Each week, we measure and review your progress to make sure you're getting results. We adjust your plan if needed. Weekly weigh-ins, body scans, hydrostatic testing, and individual program adjustments are included so your plan responds to your progress.
Unite Fitness Retreat
General fitness and weight monitoring are included during your stay, but clinical-grade body composition retesting and metabolic reviews generally fall under their upgraded medical and longevity packages.
How will I stay on track at home?
Live In Fitness
Your program includes support beyond checkout. Life-coaching workshops, nutrition education, the FitCulture app, and at-home aftercare help you put what you learn into practice.
Unite Fitness Retreat
Aftercare includes 90 days of monthly check-ins via the Unite app and access to a FIKA nurse practitioner to help support your transition home.

Read Gabriel’s story
He thought age slowed his metabolism. Then he learned the science.
As a key account executive in his mid-40s, Gabriel spent eight years prioritizing work over his health. When a doctor’s visit revealed high cholesterol and a weight nearing 280 pounds, a wake-up call hit, especially seeing colleagues his age suffer heart attacks and strokes.
He signed up for four one-week stays spread across four months (October through January). Eric Viskovicz broke weight loss down to pure science: calculating carbs, calories, portion control, and mental focus. Within those four structured weeks, Gabriel reversed eight years of unhealthy habits, dropping nearly 50 pounds, reducing his body fat to ~23%, and cutting his cholesterol by 60 points.
Beyond the physical change, Gabriel conquered the mental barriers holding him back. He learned that saying "I don't have time" was just an excuse—and that putting his health first allowed him to show up at his best for his family.
“At work, I always told myself, ‘I can’t do this. I don’t have the time.’ Here, I learned it’s not that you can’t, it’s that you won’t unless you make yourself a priority. At the end of the day, there are people that love you. The most important thing you can do is be there for them at your best.”
Gabriel
Gabriel’s result is an individual client story, not a prediction of your results. Weight loss and time required vary by person. He lost 49 lbs (from ~278 lbs down to 229 lbs) and reduced his cholesterol by 60 points across 4 monthly retreat sessions from October 2024 to January 2025.
