“This program has changed my life immensely, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all of you at Utah Fitness Retreat.”
All of the staff were outstanding. If it wasn’t for Utah’s Fitness Retreat I would not be the fit and healthy person I am today. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who needs to make a dramatic change in their life. Utah’s Fitness Retreat has everything you need to be successful because that is what this program has done for me.”

“I’m so happy that I came here and received the attention I needed.”
I wanted to write and express to you how truly grateful I am to have met you guys. I am so thankful you stepped up to the challenge and took on the handful that I am. I’m so happy that I came here and received the attention I needed. I would have probably been lost if I had gone elsewhere. I have gained so much knowledge about food, weight lifting, and rest… it’s Incredible. None of the mental and physical shifting would have been possible on my own. I am happy you changed my life.

“I weighed over 500 Pounds at my largest… I currently weigh 345pounds and I feel better than I have in my entire life.”
I weighed over 500 Lbs at my largest with the feeling of no hope. I had to make the decision to change or continue my life not being happy with myself or the direction of my life. So I made the decision to enroll in the 12 week course at the Utah’s Live-In Fitness Camp. I was a bit nervous and excited all at the same time. As I look back at the experience and my time spent with the many wonderful participants and staff I could not be more proud of myself that I accomplished such amazing results. I currently weigh 345 Lbs and I feel better than I have in my entire life. I know I still have a ways to go but my journey is not over and I will continue to change my life as I have found a passion for living a healthier more active lifestyle. I can’t thank all of you enough for helping me through some of the hardest moments during my stay.

“The words “Thank You!” do not even begin to express my gratitude for literally changing my life.”
I’m not even quite sure where to begin when it comes to you guys. The words “Thank You!” do not even begin to express my gratitude for literally changing my life. Teaching me to be strong and believe in myself are two things that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you all being there to pick me back up when it’s gotten tough over the 3months. Your Program is truly great and I look forward to our lifelong friendship. Thank you.

“I just spent 16 weeks at Utah’s Live In Fitness Retreat. It was hands down, the best experience ever.”
Sure, you’re going to be sore from the workouts but it’s money well spent. It teaches you that you can do so much more than you’ve ever imagined. At first I didn’t tell anyone where I was going, but now that I’m back, I’m telling everyone. I would rate this place a perfect score and would say it’s the best place if you want to leave home for awhile.

“This wasn’t just two weeks of getting back into exercise, this was two weeks of completely grounding myself from the inside out. I am so rejuvenated and motivated…”
Our health is a gift and a doorway to our inner happiness. It’s hard to understand why, but I was able to handle every other aspect of my life, but when it came to taking care of me it was like hitting a wall I couldn’t jump over. Your program and you Austan & Eve was exactly what I needed for my body and soul. This wasn’t just two weeks of getting back into exercise, this was two weeks of completely grounding myself from the inside out. I am so rejuvenated and motivated and have been reminded that if I take care of myself I will be a happier person, a better wife, mother, friend and worker. You have an excellent program – don’t change a thing.
Thank you so much!

“If I didn’t have you around to give me that extra push, to help me take that extra step, and to give me constant encouragement I wouldn’t have made it.”
Austan, Holy cow man I don’t even know where to start. You have been such an important figure and a huge source of inspiration for me. I want you to know that I truly admire you and what you’re doing with this program. To be honest I really aspire to be like you. You have such a nice aura that you give off and you make the greatest atmosphere for people to feel comfortable and change their lives. I don’t regret any aspect of coming out here in the slightest I feel like you guys have given me a new lease on life. As much as you would like to think it was all me who made it possible it wasn’t. If I didn’t have you around to give me that extra push, to help me take that extra step, and to give me constant encouragement I wouldn’t have made it. I struggled so much when I first came here and you were the one person I felt I could truly relate to. You have helped me get my life back on track and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for that I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you stuck by my side and helped me out when times got tuff. You never gave up on me even when I felt like giving up and I appreciated that. You have an amazing thing going here and I feel that no one could better direct this program than you. Your immense knowledge and people skills make it so easy to adapt and learn everything that you could possibly need to get by in real life situations. I am going to pursue a job as a trainer hopefully sooner than later but that is my inevitable goal. It would be incredible to come back at some point and be a part of this awesome program. You will always be my friend and I’m sorry to say you’re not going to be able to get rid of me that easily lol. I’ll be bothering you on a more than weekly basis to see how the program is going and how everyone is doing. I may be out to visit in the near future (I’ll be sure to shoot you the heads up though when I do lol.) Have a great year man this isn’t goodbye forever, just for now, I’ll be back you can count on it. Much love guy you made me who I am today. Thank you.
Sincerely and Respectfully,

“I cannot thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals during my time at the retreat.”
I cannot thank you enough for helping me achieve my goals during my time at retreat. I have felt great since I have been back, and working each day to achieve my other goal to accomplish the Chicago Marathon. You and your team are fabulous at what you do, and the lives you are changing is amazing. I will make sure to e-mail you after my marathon on October 9th. I am excited and nervous, but I know I can do this. With your help and guidance I am one step closer. Thank you!

“This experience was more than a sudden urge to change it was an inspiration for a new lifestyle. Thank you for everything!!”
Thank you, Eve and all the staff for helping me believe in myself once again, thank you for being so enthusiastic about me becoming an instructor. It really means a lot to hear you say that I should get certified and just the simple fact that you believe I can do it. It is something I have contemplated in the past but never thought I could do it, now I feel like I am on the higher end of the motivation scale. I am definitely excited and determined to get many certifications. I will not stop until I reach my goals and even then I will just keep challenging myself. Also thank you for putting so much thought and effort into our interests and how you could incorporate them into the weekend activities. This experience was more than a sudden urge to change it was an inspiration for a new lifestyle. Thank you for everything!!

“Thank you so much for giving me the individualized approach to truly help put me on a path to success.”
Since I have been home I have been able to realize how much I learned about myself and that I am able to push myself in the workouts further than I had ever imagined. Your program has changed my life and I am planning to keep at it every day. I ran outside yesterday for the first time in awhile and it was great! I have been going to Zumba everyday and getting involved in the weight lifting and cardio classes and feeling really good about my results. Thank you so much for giving me the individualized approach to truly help put me on a path to success.

“I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t come out and started my new healthy lifestyle with you guys.”
I just wanted to say hi and check in with you guys 
I’ve been keeping up the workouts and healthy eating and have been feeling really great about it. I had my own Monday assessment this morning and lost another 6 lbs!!! and am now officially in the 100s again! I’ve been cooking a lot for my family which I have really enjoyed and has made it a lot easier to make sure I know exactly what I’m eating and what the calorie count is. I couldn’t have done it without you! I am finally feeling better about myself and moving on from all the bad habits. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t come out and started my new healthy lifestyle with you guys

“You should be proud of me I’ve been right on track with healthy eating and preparing my meals to be healthy and delicious.”
I sure miss the whole gang and the workouts!! You should be proud of me I’ve been right on track with healthy eating and preparing my meals to be healthy and delicious, I’m keeping up on eating more veggies and proteins. I have lost 6 more lbs since I left and I’m starting a routine daily to work out in my home gym and using the outdoors to my advantage. Thank you for helping me get out of the rut I was in.

“I feel confident & I will return home and continue with a daily exercise program and reformed eating habits.”
For only coming for the 2 weeks I feel so much stronger and my endurance has really improved. I feel confident & I will return home and continue with a daily exercise program and reformed eating habits. I can’t thank you all enough for your support and encouragement. I met so many great people there at camp and you will always have my gratitude.

“You didn’t just change my life, you saved my life!”
Thank you so much for creating a place of support, and knowledge that I believe is helping change so many people’s lives, like myself. I can’t thank you enough for the encouragement and the confidence you instilled in me to change my ways of living a healthier life. I still cry at night with tears of gratitude for the opportunity I had to meet such wonderful people during my 8 week stay. You didn’t just change my life, you saved my life! and I know my journey is not yet over, but I feel more confident, more hopeful and capable of conquering my life goals. I am eternally grateful. Love, Vicky.
