LOOKING AT CANYON RANCH?
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 Canyon Ranch offer fitness and wellness services. The main difference is what your stay is organized around.
A science-based program centered on changing your body
Your stay is designed to help you lose body fat, get toned, and keep the fat off for good. We start by testing your metabolism, we coach you through activities and classes, we personalize your nutrition, and we review your progress weekly.
A luxury wellness resort
Canyon Ranch offers a high-end destination stay built around relaxation, holistic therapies, and a self-guided range of wellness services and activities, including weight-loss retreats.
If your priority is to lose body fat, gain muscle, boost your metabolism, and get rid of bad habits, you should look closely at what’s included in each program.
If you want serious fitness & weight loss results... Book for that!
Relaxing at a spa or resort is fine every now and then. But if you’re tired of struggling with your weight, a relaxing spa or resort vacation isn't going to help you get the results you want.
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.

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.
Canyon Ranch
Offers medical testing and physician interpretation, but its weight-loss overview does not list this same four-assessment package as a standard inclusion.
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.
Canyon Ranch
Offers fitness classes, private sessions, and independent workouts, but its weight-loss overview does not specify 5–7 included hours of coached fitness each day.
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.
Canyon Ranch
Includes dining and describes personalized nutrition guidance, but its weight-loss overview does not specify that each guest's meals follow individual macronutrient targets.
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.
Canyon Ranch
Describes individualized guidance, but its weight-loss overview does not publish a weekly schedule of body-composition retesting and program adjustments.
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.
Canyon Ranch
Offers behavioral coaching and a nutrition plan to take home, but its weight-loss overview does not specify ongoing app-based aftercare or a post-stay follow-up schedule.

Read Chris’s story
He had a family he wanted to be there for.
Chris arrived struggling with his confidence, but determined to change his life. His stay had ups and downs. Eric Viskovicz and the Live In Fitness team helped him keep working toward his goal.
He became the first Live In Fitness client to lose 205 lbs. To mark the achievement, Eric presented him with a plaque and a new suit. Clients, friends, and staff came together to celebrate.
“I will forever be grateful to Eric Viskovicz and Live In Fitness for saving my life in more ways than one.”
