LifeStyle Fitness Camp

When given the opportunity, I always speak very highly of Jen & Chad’s program at Lifestyle Fitness Camp.I have found Jen to be highly knowledgeable as a fitness coach and nutrition consultant and her gentle guidance to be extremely effective, especially when compared to other diet and fitness programs that I’ve participated in. The daily hikes that Chad leads make the whole program fun and the magnificent vistas the hikes traverse make the experience genuinely spiritually renewing.As a person who has had somewhat debilitating rheumatoid arthritis for the past 20 years, I especially appreciate Jen & Chan’s willingness to tailor their instruction to be age and fitness-level appropriate for the program participants. That, and their friendly, upbeat and encouraging manner makes it easy to remain engaged in their program. Additionally, Jen is very conscientious in providing her participants with dietary plans and exercise routines that they may take home at the conclusion of the program.This past month, I was able to complete a 7 day, 60 mile self-guided backpacking trip in Colorado’s Weminuche Wilderness in the southern San Juan mountains. This trip involved hiking and camping above 10,000’ for much of the trip and carrying a heavy pack more than 12,000’ vertical feet in ascent over 3 high passes. This is the kind of physical activity I haven’t done since my teens and I could never have accomplished this as a 65-year-old with out the fitness training Jen & Chad provided to me over the past 4 years.I have no hesitancy in recommending the Lifestyle program to my friends and acquaintances or to anyone interested in changing their life through renewed fitness.

Results made my doctor happy ! I stayed a total of 6 weeks over the winter. Lost some weight, learned some good habits, enjoyed a lot of scenic hikes, met some interesting people. Just got the results from my yearly exam, cholesterol down, HLD up, everything the right direction, and doctor very happy.

What an amazing experience. The owners/trainers Chad and Jen are top notch and so good at what they do. They do seem to care about their clients success. The property is very nice and the fitness center is just a 2 minute walk away from the lodgings and it is top notch as well. The daily hikes are out of this world. If you are looking for a great affordable health retreat in a beautiful area, this is it.My 4 star rating would be 4.5 if I could. I can't give 5 stars though. This has nothing to do with the program itself and more to do with some "housekeeping" issues.It was loud in the house late at night. They have a noise curfew in the house rules, but it wasn't followed or enforced. I was constantly woken up by other guests who were up late watching movies (loudly), playing cards or just not being very courteous. We had hikes at 7am and earlier. I'd find myself woken up well after midnight more times than I can count.The kitchen was a bit unorganized with so many people coming and going. Primarily the refrigerator. A lot of expired food and food from previous guests that needed to be dealt with. Everything was jammed in. Myself and another guest spent almost an hour one day trying to organize the main refrigerator. Guests do their own cooking (they buy the food) which was great, but also was not a very smooth process sometimes because of the abundance of "mystery" food products. I know that this fitness camp is one of the more reasonable ones in terms of price, but we still were paying a lot. We shouldn't have had to do housekeeping like that. Same with the trash. I don't think we should've been made to take out the garbage when it was overflowing in the bins inside.They might consider getting a house attendant just for a few hours a week at most to check on these things.It was a little disappointing that at the end of the stay, there was no kind of exit interview or even a proper goodbye. No review of progress made or strategies for the future. You checkout on Saturday at noon, when just the house cleaners are there. Everyone leaves for the house cleaners so whoever is checking out is there alone. At least that's what I experienced in my one month stay.I'd still go again if I were financially able.I'd just bring ear plugs and a loud fan.And I still think its an amazing program.

Jenn and Chad are amazing, I always tell everyone what a life changing experience this was for me. If you are on the fence, just go!! They sit down and really determine what your goals are and help you reach them. I’ve made life long friends here as well! They challenge and encourage you to reach your goals, I can’t put into words how amazing my time there was!

I needed to change my thinking to support my body and my Self, but I didn’t know how or where to start. So I researched and read reviews, and chose Lifestyle Fitness Camp in Saint George, Utah.It’s truly a place to heal Body and Soul.My weeks with Jen, Chad and the others at the camp were the best experiences in my recent life.Chad started us early with morning hikes over the mountains; the sun peeking up over the ridgesettled my soul and I was thankful. He walked at our pace, discussed Utah history, and its people and wildlife. Just when I thought I couldn’t take one more step upwards, we were at a peak, the sun had risen, and we had the whole world at our feet. Breathtaking.Also for my body, we worked in the fitness arena mornings and afternoons, swam in the pool, and learned about nutrition. Jen was with us the entire time— teaching and encouraging.I slept beautifully at night, and I’m grateful to the people I met and the beautiful Utah weather. When I return home to Iowa, my doctor visit showed that my blood pressure had fallen, and my BMI and cholesterol levels had improved greatly.That’s something I can live with.

Jen and Chad Bullen are top-notch professionals. Their program is designed to assist in making lifestyle changes, not just for near-term results but for lifetime results. They are compassionate, caring and truly professional. I cannot say enough positive things about this program. I looked at numerous fitness programs and I'm so glad I chose this one. Utah is beautiful, the hikes are a combination of scenic wonder and physical challenge. The fitness center is excellent and the accommodations are great. Hands down an excellent overall fitness and lifestyle program.

This was the kind of experience I was looking for! Chad and Jen are great people. They are attentive to each individual’s needs, always available and knowledgeable. We had great outdoor hikes with Chad and super workouts with Jen in the gym. Our house had wonderful personalities with lots of encouragement and teamwork in our cooking. Using and getting used to The MyFitnessPal app helps transition to being at home, so I am glad I was not “fed”, but had to work on how to plan and make meals. I cried leaving these wonderful people, and I hope to go back again. Great program to reboot,and get a boost on a lifetime program.

I stayed for a week. I'm down 5 pounds by my scale, with lower % fat and same lean body weight. Very happy about that, and I've scheduled another visit ! The other people there were all staying longer, 4 weeks seems to be popular. I saw that they've had visitors from all but 3 states, and quit a few foreign countries. The gym they use is huge and well equipped. With only 5 guests while I was there, Jen and the gym trainers were able to adopt gym work so each guest got a good workout with good supervision to avoid overdoing it. Chad knows a lot of good hiking places nearby. Between Jen and Chad, and the other guests, there was a good support system for pursuing health goals.

One of the Best DecisionGoing to Lifestyle Fitness was one of the best decisions I've made in years. From start to finish it exceeded my expectations. I've been to two different fitness camps in Florida and I can tell you that Jen & Chad know what they're doing and have developed a program with rich diversity in activities, and is supportive and effective. You start your journey with a medical assessment that determines your metabolic resting rate so that you know how your body burns calories and determines your body mass index. These two key measures are baselines that will help you while there and beyond. They also take you to a running store and buy you a pair of good running shoes. I'm a former runner and have difficult narrow feet to fit and was really impressed with the knowledge of the store employees and the fitting.Your days start with invigorating hikes in the breathtaking red rock mountains of Utah, followed by two different personal training sessions late morning and late afternoon in a wonderfully equipped and impressive gym. As a member of the gym while your there you can also go back to the gym on your own time; you can swim, play basketball, or any other activity you want to do.Everyone works at their own level, there's no pressure to do things that you can't or hurt (do it former injuries or rarely used muscles) although they encourage you to push yourself in a way you wouldn't if you were home or working out by yourself. That's exactly why I was there - - I needed someone to push and encourage me out of the slump I was in. I was looking for a kick-start to a fitness program and commitment I could bring home and that's exactly what I got.In the process I connected with the people who were in the program while I was and made some friends for life. The house you stay in has enough room and spaces that you can be by yourself in your room or in the multiple common areas or outside. It works for both the introvert and the extrovert. It was a supportive environment, with encouragement from both fellow participants and Jen and Chad.A bonus for me was the golf package golfers of any level can add to their stay. I played some beautiful courses, had time for the driving range, and had some great lessons. Playing golf with Chad was some of the best times I had while I was there. Both Chad and Jen are down-to-earn, kind people who are a joy to be around.I highly recommend Lifestyle Fitness for those that need to make changes in their lives, both big and small. It's a program that fits everyone's needs. My only regret was that I was there for two weeks, I would have loved to have stayed longer.

Jen & Chad are down-to-earth, great people. I felt very well taken care of. With their help, I lost 16.5 lbs of pure fat, and gained 6 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks. I have a new lease on life! Look no further...this camp is the Best, and Most Affordable!
