At Fitness Retreat, we believe in total transformation—mind, body, and lifestyle. This week, we’re highlighting Tony, a 57-year-old from Seattle, who lost 9 pounds in just one week at our Fitness Retreat. His journey is proof that no matter your starting point, committing to a structured Fitness Retreat can change your life.
“I just kind of wanted to get back in the human race, and I needed to find a place that was separate from my daily life and yet focused on results. I looked at a lot of places, but with Eric’s commitment to results and a truly end-to-end program, this fitness retreat really caught my eye. I just kept digging deeper and deeper, and I found out this is the place I need to be.”
Like many people, Tony had once been in great shape but had lost his momentum. His wake-up call came when his doctor asked how he was feeling.
“I’m somebody who has had tests that put me in the top 1%. But when my doctor asked how I felt, I told him, ‘I feel horrible.’ He looked at me and said, ‘I can give you anything you want, but you know what you really need.’ And he was right—I needed to get back into physical activity and start taking care of myself again.”

“It stood out to me because it was kind of back to basics—getting fitness right. Being outside, hiking, and really bringing it all together. Eric and his team do an excellent job of making sure everything clicks, so you can actually take action.”
The decision to join a fitness retreat wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about reclaiming control. Tony realized he needed more than just a gym routine or a diet—he needed a full body reset with structured fitness, expert coaching, and sustainable habits that would last beyond the retreat.
One of the biggest factors in Tony’s rapid transformation was the structured, habit-based approach at Fitness Retreat.
“The food is good. The trainers are excellent. The education is excellent. And I like the repetitive part of it—because that’s really how people integrate it into their life. Doing the right thing over and over, eating correctly, exercising correctly, learning about habits—it’s very simple.”
Mindset is everything when it comes to lasting weight loss and fitness success. Tony learned that life is about choices—either staying on the sidelines or stepping onto the field and taking charge of your health.
“You have a choice in life. You can be a player on the field or a spectator. A sedentary lifestyle—we all hate it. But if you come here, you can actually be on the field in the game of your life. Just do it.”
Tony’s journey proves that real transformation happens when you commit to the process. Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve your fitness, or reset your lifestyle, a structured fitness retreat can be the key to unlocking lasting success.
