Inspired by The Biggest Loser, I recently spent six weeks at Fitness Ridge.  I showed up with substantial weight to lose and left still with substantial weight to lose. I was, however, able to lose over 60 pounds in my six weeks, push my body to do things I thought impossible, meet great supportive people, and eat delicious, healthy, filling food.  My original fears of enrolling in a program like this were quelled right away by an amazing, friendly staff that pushed me to believe in myself.  I could barely walk a mile when I started and six weeks later was able to do the entire 4.5 mountain hike to the stop sign.   It was a life changing experience for me. 

I can not say enough about my fellow attendees, who were at all imaginable fitness levels, and who were all at the Ridge for their own personal and proper reasons.  I made friends that will last me a lifetime and I have a new support group to help me through the tough times.  No matter what your fitness goals, whether you have no weight, some weight, or a lot of weight to lose, Fitness Ridge will be the answer for you

One week at Fitness Ridge sent me into a great mindset to discover my physical capabilities. Sharon and Denae push with compassion to help us reach our potential. The varied cardio workouts kept the monotony to a minimum. I didn't know I could work that hard!

My trip to Fitness Ridge was a much needed intervention to address my personal physical and health needs. I learned it is possible to eat less and more healthy and feel great!

My time at Fitness Ridge was most enjoyable. The exquisite landscape of southern Utah was outweighed only by the fun, energetic, charismatic, staff of Fitness Ridge.

I am an exercise-phobe, but there was so much for me to use. This was an excellent motivating and wonderful trip. The variety of workouts really helped motivate me. I am very pleased with my results.

Fitness Ridge is intense, but enjoyable. A good learning experience. I went away understanding portion control and how to push myself.

The hiking was spectacular, I was able to build strength and endurance while surrounded by energizing views of the Red Rocks. I learned I could do much more physically than I thought I could do.

My wife gave me the 'gift' of a lifetime for Christmas 2006. It was a week at Fitness Ridge beginning Christmas Day.  I weighed in that day at 301 lbs.  A week later I weighed 288 lbs. With that 'jumpstart' I went on with I learned there, portion control, nutrition, fitness, etc.  By March of '07' I was down to 248 lbs.  Its September 2007 and I'm still at 248.  Time for a jumpstart!!  Thanks Fitness Ridge.  See you soon.

I can honestly say that the program at Fitness Ridge helped save my life.

I weighed close to 400 pounds when I took part of the program offered for six months.
The time and effort was more than worth it. I lost a total of 126 pounds. I still struggle today with my weight, but the classes and the information I received helped me for the better.
I have never made a better change for my life. I feel better, I look even better and that helps me develop people skills. (talking to the ladies).
I am currently serving a mission in Australia for my church. I had to lose the weight to do it.
By going to Fitness Ridge, my body likes me better when I work hard, and it is just great to look back on the change that I went through.
To those reading this, I hope that you go to Fitness Ridge. Take in all that you can.
I say hello to all of my Fitness Ridge family. I miss you guys and I think of you everyday.

I'm finally writing to let you all know what an incredibly positive impact my one week visit to FITNESS RIDGE has made on my life. I've always been an avid gym rat and never had any problem getting motivated to lift weights. Though as I'm aging, I realize that I can't stay in shape by picking up cars & buildings forever. I took the trek to Fitness Ridge specifically to develop better cardio habits. Well, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!  The other thing that REALLY helped me were the nightly dietary lectures. I found these alone to be worth the cost of the trip. I've really refined my eating and social drinking habits since and have a much better sense for accounting my calorie consumption.  I sincerely want to thank Cam, Michelle and the entire crew for inspiring me to better myself. I hope to be back to Fitness Ridge with my girlfriend in October.

To anyone on the fence about taking this trip.......STOP DEBATING AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! You owe it to yourself and to your family to live a long, healthy & happy life. All the best!

Picture this: 58-year-old grandma, 40 lbs. overweight, enjoying all kinds of food and lots of it, out-of-shape and tired, in need of exercise, direction, motivation, discipline and knowledge.  One week at Fitness Ridge gave me all of that and more.  Three months later and I'm still eating well, still losing little by little (26.5 lbs. to date), exercising 5x weekly and I am, in some ways, a changed person.  I learned so much about myself - what motivates me, how to push myself harder, what types and amounts of food help me lose weight yet still feel satisfied.  I feel energetic, motivated to reach and maintain my goal weight and grateful for an improved way of life.  I'm even looking forward to accompanying my grandkids to the pool and beach this summer - and actually joining them in the water instead of hanging out, fully dressed on the sidelines!  Fitness Ridge was a great experience for me, one I can recommend without reservation.
