Congratulation Lars- LIF’s Client of the Week.. he lost 11.5  lbs & gained 0.7 lbs in lean mass in 1 week following the LIF Program

Lars is a Business Developer from Denmark and signed up for 4 weeks of the all-inclusive program. His biggest struggle was finding a healthy balance between work and life balance.  

Finding the time to train and eat was always a constant struggle. He chose Live in Fitness foremost as a destination location. 

Often you have to remove yourself from your current surroundings to make a difference and a change. He also liked the approach to fitness and weight loss that LIF offered. 

Weight was not solely measurable and calculated by the scale but more emphasis on building lean mass. He knew he needed a place where he could be disciplined and accountable.

When asked about the program?

I have enjoyed meeting new people who are like-minded and here for the same reason.  Finding and sharing goals with other clients and coaches makes it easier to keep focused. 

The staff is great with a very positive outlook and is invested in every client reaching their goal even if it physically hurts to go the extra mile.  You get out what you put in….. And I am grateful for the opportunity to better my life.
