Unite Fitness Retreat Reviews

When I started this program, I thought they were nuts. The amount of work they put you through on the amount of calories they feed you seems impossible at first. After the initial blinding pain of the workouts had subsided, I had an entirely new perspective on what I was capable of achieving in the realm of fitness. In two weeks I lost twenty pounds of fat and gained four pounds of muscle. The results were spectacular, but the most important concept I took away from here was that daily exercise and healthy eating are easily embraceable concepts and, when sustained for a period of time, a body you are proud of is easily within your grasp. This is an excellent program.

Great information & education combined with a variety of amazing workouts then add in fun, knowledgeable & motivating staff & trainers and you ve got the recipe for success on site & once you return home.

I believe the main goal of most people who decide to invest in one of the Unite Fitness Retreat programs is to lose weight, and that was not different with me. But why did I choose Unite among so many other options available out there? Because I couldn't find a better option where I could take care of both my body and mind. So I travelled all the way from California to Utah and I couldn't be happier with the choice I made. I was there for 3 weeks and when I came back home after following all the activities available in the program I was not only in a better shape than before, but I became a more confident person. The whole experience was really life changing for me. After I overcame some of my own fitness and mind obstacles I really feel like I can conquer the world. And for that I thank all the amazing instructors at Unite for being so talented, supporting and motivating. I would like to thank the amazing chefs that kindly prepared all of our delicious meals. I would like to thank Brooke for sharing her knowledge with us and so much precious information about food. And I would like to thank the other program's participants for being such an inspiration for me.

I went to Unite for two weeks in January 2020 and it changed my life. I learned so much about nutrition and survived challenging work outs with the trainers. Hiking in the snowy Utah mountains was a perfect second half of each day. The variety of excercise is well thought out. The program is organized and well run. The food is delicious and the staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I lost fat, increased my muscle mass, increased hydration and lost inches all over my body. Best of all, I left Unite with a plan to successfully transition at home. If you are willing to work hard, you will see fantastic results. I highly recommend Unite to anyone who needs a jumpstart to better fitness and diet.

I attended Unite Health & Fitness for four weeks in Aug 2020. It was truly one of the best things I could have done for myself and my health. I learned about food (good and not so good for me) exercise (a variety of different styles) awake-rest-sleep and that taking time for myself throughout a day is what we are supposed to do for our bodies, mind and spirit.

This program is tough, challenging, strenuous (at times), exhausting, scary, REWARDING, GRADIFYING, PRIDFUL, CLARIFYING AND SO MUCH MORE.

If your thinking about a fitness & health program, look into this one. I wasn't disappointed and recommend this program.

After researching many places to make my lifestyle change, I hopped on a plane, left the East Coast and landed in Utah, at Unite Fitness Retreat. After battles and battles with weight issues and trying every FAD diet out there, Unite CHANGED my life, not just my waistline.(that was an added bonus).
Or as one of the trainers told me, "I changed my life, with the help of them." (Laird your the best)
The trainers at Unite, help with cardio, strength training, and nutrition, but for me, all of those things helped with my "mental" state of mind and also helped me to realize some of the reasons, that may have contributed to me seeking a retreat to begin with.
I have always exercised and actually enjoy it, but, I also followed EVERY FAD DIET and NEVER did strength training!! Who would have thought, you could do hours and hours of cardio, but without strength training and you would never see results you wanted. ( I also learned and realized that from the amazing trainers).
When I arrived at Unite, I knew I made the very best choice. The staff at Unite provided me with all the "tools" I needed to make, my new LIFESTYLE! Whether it is nutrition changes, weight changes, lifestyle changes, you are seeking, Unite can help you with your journey, because they WANT too! The staff is amazing and are there for YOU, not just the crisp bills you pay to be there, like some places!
They will not tell you what to do or when to do it, what they WILL do is provide a schedule (a very busy, very detailed, great one), and help guide you, in the best way possible for you!! At Unite Fitness it is about YOU, and what you make of it, you just have some GREAT people helping you along the way!

I m so happy Unite came up in my google search for a getaway fitness program. The program is complete and they truly tailor to all ages and fitness levels. I had great results for the week I was there as I needed a reset and to learn a few things. I thought the food was great, the lunch and learns were informative, training sessions pushed my fitness to the next level, and the afternoon hikes and mobility sessions topped off each day. Highly recommend you make the investment in yourself. Look forward to going again and hope to bring along some friends my next visit.

Unite Fitness Retreat - FAR exceeded my expectations. The staff is awesome, every single one of them. They are there to help teach, educate and train you without any judgement. Trainers are available and willing to help with any questions, thoughts or ideas. There work out are fantastic, along with the nutrition and cooking classes. I was only there a week (lost inches and weight, that was a plus) and have been home a month now. I am still on track, I brought everything I learned there home and have implemented it into my everyday life, with ease. I've had my weekly calls with the a training after coming home, along with a 30 day challenge and recipes to follow along with . I HIGHLY recommend Unite Fitness Retreat. The friends you meet and stay in contact with is just the bonus!

I stayed at unite Fitness for 4 weeks. My sister and I decided to spend the month of August at the camp and we re not disappointed. The trainers are the best. The people you are there with become lifelong friends. The biggest thing I love is the investment they have in your life. It doesn t end when the camp does. Im still in contact with one of the trainers and she sends me encouraging messages from time to time and I check in with her to tell her how I m doing. It s the small things ya know. They work you hard and treat you with respect. The lessons we learned at the camp are lessons I will take with me for the rest of my life. They don t teach you how to diet. They teach you how to live. Honestly the food is either your favorite thing you ve ever had or you choke it down because you know it s good for you. But that s because I have the palate of a 12 year old. Billy makes the most amazing dishes and Yvonne truly comes through with requests so if you want a specific type of food she can tell you how you can make a healthy alternative!!! Tricia is the most amazingly kind, hardworking yet most terrifying person you will meet. By week 2 I wanted nothing more than to make her proud. Trish is so uplifting and loves to talk about her life journey! Brad is so kind and he just makes you laugh so hard. Holli is so invested in your life story and she s just so raw and genuine that you can t help but look up to her. Ashley is the true hiking queen and if you can have the fortune of hiking with her you will not be sorry. She can also hook you up with trails in your area no matter where you come from. Laird was my favorite person to do weight training with. He pushes you in a way I ve never been pushed. He s amazing. And that s just my favorites. But everyone EVERYONE was so amazing and understanding. The only bad thing that happened during my duration of my stay was with the hotel manager so it s completely separate from unite itself. Unite is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who needs a jumpstart, who needs new motivation, who needs to lose a few pounds ect. It ll change your life but only if you allow it to. If you Work hard and allow the lessons to stick then the results will happen. I m already down double the pounds than what I lost at the camp. The results are there. That s enough proof of its success.

My experience at Unite Fitness was amazing! I exceeded all the goals that I had set for myself. My biggest accomplishment was to get on track with my diet and losing weight. I no longer follow any fad diets because the program at Unite Fitness has taught me to eat clean and healthy foods everyday. It is the best thing I've ever done, I can't wait to go back and do it all over again!

Fantastic experience. I originally only signed up for one week - I would highly recommend doing a least 2 weeks to really see the impact of all your hard work. Turning 50 hit my body hard. I needed to lose some weight and build up my strength. I got both out of this retreat. We all work and eat together, but everyone is supported in going at their own pace. The first 3 days were rough, but after day 3 I would wake up feeling better than I have felt in a very long time. Supportive trainers, nutritionist and chefs. I learned so much! I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to feel better.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this retreat!!! Great Staff who plan workouts to tailor everyone's needs and wants. They work with you individually in order to help you with your individual goals as well as become friends with you and help you to better improve your self-image and your outlook on life. I went for 4 weeks in the month of August and it was LIFE CHANGING! I loved the hikes that we went on as well as the boot camp workouts that we did. It is a great step towards changing your life forever.

I had a great experience. I went for four weeks and it was exactly what I was looking for. The day was filled with exercise and useful information. I ended every day knowing I had worked hard and was on my way to a healthier me.

Such an AMAZING experience!! Unite Retreat really is everything they say they are. The staff is astounding!! Such amazing people!! They really sit down, listen and develop a plan that is perfect for you. Such incredible people to help you with your journey.

I signed up for the week retreat (Sun-Sun) in March of 2016. I was not exactly sure what to expect, yet was looking for a place to help me learn healthy eating, how to cook and prepare for meals as well as how to plan for meals, and how to become active again since my back surgery. They really got to know me, my back, and worked with me to gain results. Thank you Unite I am so thankful for your help in my journey!!

Unite introduces you to many different types of exercises and activities, allowing you to discover what it is that really makes you tick. It really was so much more than just exercise or food preparation. Unite is a holistic approach to not only weight loss but discovering a healthier and happy you.

Unite has changed my mindset and body. I am truly grateful for the support of all the trainers. Everyone has a unique journey and even though I struggled at times it is because of the unite staff I am living a stronger and healthier life. Everyone genuinely cared about my success at unite.

Unite Fitness Retreat is absolutely amazing! The concept, the coaches, the facilities and the meals are zenith. The coaches sincerely care about your success and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They encourage and motivate you while they understand and help you do only what you physically can do. Although you work out with others, it is truly an individual success plan. The entire staff will work with you and in my case, they accommodated everything that I needed! If you want to jump start a lifestyle change and lose weight, gain motivation and a healthy lifestyle all at the same time, Unite is the place. The entire package was important to me, but I really appreciated the living accommodations at the end of the day. They are top natch! Thank you ALL at Unite Fitness Retreat! You have changed my life. See you next year for a reboot :)

I spent two weeks here and it was great. I did lose weight, but mostly I got a lot of healthy new habits, and I stopped drinking soft drinks and detoxed off of sugar. All costs are included in the up-front fees, including every meal. Stick to this healthy diet, don't cheat, enjoy the exercise classes and hiking, and you will feel fantastic! I really liked the trainers and the other attendees. Salt Lake City and the surrounding mountains are beautiful.

The steroids I received during (successful) cancer treatment came with a bad side effect: I steadily gained weight for over three years. After trying several times to lose the excess 30 pounds, I had just about given up. Then I went to Unite. I went for one week, and while the difference in my weight was small after that week, the difference in my attitude was huge. I realized it wasn't going to be easy, but that I could do it. In short, it was life-changing. It taught me to be truly mindful about what I put into my body.. The teaching/lunch sessions by Brooke (the nutritionist) was so informative and encouraging, and her grocery store tour is a must, even for someone like me who doesn't cook. The other great thing I gained from my week at Unite was a willingness to try new things--something I've continued since coming home.The weight is coming off slowly, but it's coming off. I intend to go back for at least another week in the fall, COVID-19 permitting. Thanks to all.

I am Annette from Ontario Canada, I did not know what to expect but this has been a wonderful experience. First class all the way. I would recommend to all.
The fitness trainers really care and are so supportive. The gym is hard work but you go at your pace and do your best. The activities are varied and carefully monitored, I found my energy again, my muscles remembered how to work and I am eager to do more.
The group here were wonderful, so friendly I just loved the atmosphere and made new friends
Brooke the dietician was informative and helpful the chefs came in and presented us with wonderful meals all healthy and taught me about portion sizes and healthy eating.
I was treated to a massage at Sanctuary Spa, again a first class facility, and spent time with Jared regarding life style changes.
The holistic yoga support every day was something I looked forward too and the daily hikes offered a challenging route or an easier route with staff to watch over us. The scenery is beautiful.

I would recommend Unite Fitness to any one of any age, I am 68, any ability and for any length of time. My week came to an end, I miss my new friends but that training will go on with telephone access to the trainers for a further 4 weeks, they will help keep me on track with meal planning workouts and accountability. I came back home with a game plan for the future.
I cannot ask for more except the opportunity to come back and spend some more time here
As I said everything was first class, the hotel the schedule the food the staff. I even lost inches in one week. A great experience.

Thankyou all
Annette

I spent three weeks at Unite and I lost weight and body fat. I developed a different relationship with food through Unite's structured snacks and meals. I am no longer overwhelmed at the grocery store because I know what to buy and what to eat. In addition, working out and incorporating it into my schedule is easier since I left Unite due to everything that I learned. I recommend the camp if you are looking for a solid weight loss education and if you want to transform your life. The trainers are really good and your fitness level does not matter. You will never feel left out.

I had an amazing experience. The location was perfect (the hotel and the gym) and everybody was helpful and professional. They make you take care of yourself (even when you are not used to or are too lazy to do so) which is a very important lesson to learn

Exactly what I needed!!! Over a couple of years of an work/life imbalance and having a shoulder surgery, I had gained 35lbs and felt unable to make the life changes I know I needed to make. I finally blocked out 3 weeks to attend Unite Fitness. I found Unite probably like most people by looking to the Internet. I wanted a program that was not a resort, not too big/impersonal, and not exorbitantly priced. Fortunately Unite went way beyond my expectations. I worked out harder than I truly ever thought I could, which is a good thing. It's a smaller program and the instructors are able to accommodate personal limitations or desires. Leah, the main instructor, was truly passionate to make the program work for me. I was able to lose almost 15lbs in 3 weeks at the program and since leaving am able to continue to lose another 10lbs. I feel much better physically and emotionally and highly recommend the program to anyone.

Amazing crew, every one! Unite's trainers work with you no matter what your fitness level, but they challenge you too. You'll be amazed what you're really capable of that you never knew you had in you. Unite has everything- stellar fitness (obviously), education, beautiful Utah landscape, massages, life coaches and great food.

I did a month and lost 20 lbs plus put on quite a bit of muscle. When I got home my ramped metabolism and energy lost me another 10lbs in the first month home. Having maintained my weight loss and then some from June, I'm back now for 2 weeks as a fitness jump start before the Holidays and my Highschool Reunion (Yikes!). If I could live at Unite for months, until I was shredded fit, I totally would! :D

Leah is such an inspirational leader and amazing at motivating people. If you are looking for a fitness vacation to jumpstart your health and fitness, this is it. It is extremely difficult, but Leah and the other coaches will only push you to *your* own limits (and beyond them as much as you can take it of course!). You are in a daily battle with yourself to keep pushing harder, and they are there to help you through the journey.

The nutritional education was one of the most valuable parts of the course as well. Leah has a ton of knowledge in her head, and is there to share it with you during each break. Her and all of the coaches generally want you to succeed, and you feel their warmth and love from day one.

I would (and have to several friends already!) recommend Unite Fitness Retreat to anyone. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any specific questions to someone who survived 2 weeks there!

I have only great things to say about Unite. The program provided exactly the re-set i needed to get on a healthy track. The Retreat blended intense physical activity, well-prepared food and useful nutrition counseling, all led by a cadre of superb trainers. My five weeks there were instrumental in setting me up for the success I continue to experience back home.
