How Does a 430 Lb Man Start an Exercise Program When he Can Barely Walk or Stand?

...even for a 430-pound man, exercise is the medicine for fitness and weight loss camp offers a fresh start.

Mens Weight Loss Camp ... 3,000 Miles from Home!

My weight maxed out at 370 lbs, my blood pressure was high and I had lost so much physical ability that I was in fear of my life. The gradual decline in health had come to a point where I couldn’t make plans with my family and for the future of our business without getting an uneasy feeling. I really didn’t believe I was going to live very long if I didn’t do something soon.

So… I traveled 3000 miles from Boston and left my family in charge of my business to seek the help I so desperately needed.

As clients, we live with Debra in her spacious Live-in Fitness residence and she only accommodates 2-3 people at a time. During my stay I trained alongside a man who traveled from Amsterdam on a 3-month visa to be in the program.  We worked hard and stayed focused but we also had fun, too.

Debra has taught us balance, nutrition, and a progression for conditioning and weight training that has no end. The goal is life-long fitness and enjoying the feeling of wellness and good health. Joining the Live In Fitness family has set the stage for a lifestyle that I truly believe will extend the fun years of my life beyond what I could ever imagine. Thank You, Debra Stefan, I finally found success.

Mens Weight Loss Camp at 436 Lbs and Age 27

The best thing that has happened since coming to Debra's at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness...

... is that I have found a new way to think, eat, breathe, and feel.

Depression no longer has a hold on me because I have the key to attaining my goals and it has even empowered me to start my own business. My life is now under my control and so are my habits. The choices I now make bring me closer to attaining my health goals instead of defeating me. Debra coaches us to build up our self-belief system so that we build on our accomplishments daily. My friends called me Darth Vader because of my loud breathing, huffing and puffing walking from one room to another. I am now cycling great distances over hills, and losing weight sensibly.

"I learned what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle..."

Rocky Balboa's "That's how winning is done!"
...has a whole new meaning to anyone who spent time with Debra at Las Vegas Live-in Fitness..

Debra's Live in Fitness is a beacon of honest to god weight loss. There you will lose weight the old fashioned way: by working your butt off, while having fun and nourishing your body with proper nutrition.

I was looking for someone who would help me transform my lifestyle and living at Debra's was just what the doctor ordered. I learned what it means to lead a healthy lifestyle seeing them juggle competing priorities while still ensuring that they eat right and exercise. I returned to my family with all the tools I need to complete a transformation of my body.

"What I have received from Debra cannot be taken away..."

"Debra is the standard by which all instructor/trainers are measured. Debra's background, experiences, devotion and ability to have her students produce results are unequaled and everyone in town knows it. The benefits of training with Debra have truly been life changing for me. Through Debra's assisted stretches my body instantly started doing things physically that made my mind open up so I could stay out of my own way mentally and let my body go to levels way beyond what I had hoped for. Service and quality have become almost non-existent these days. What I have received from Debra cannot be taken away and will benefit me for the rest of my life. "

Steve DeCesare, Age 40

"I have used maybe 10 trainers in my life and Debra is by far the most knowledgeable..."

Phil Griffith, Age 63

" If you are serious about your workouts then Debra is for you. She is not some trainer who walks around for 50 minutes with a clip board. She is in there with you. I have used maybe 10 trainers in my life and she is by far the most knowledgeable one I've ever worked with. She knows her profession and understands the science of her programs.

"Debra is first-rate as an example in what exercise does for the body and for the mind."

" Her desire for your success encourages you to strive to surpass your expectations. Her strongest feature, for me, is her desire to work out with you and not dish-out advice from the "side-lines" as is common in the industry. I recommend Debra Stefan not just as a "Body-for-Life" coach, but for any activity that requires a knowledgeable, dedicated and disciplined trainer."

Brian Thomas, Age 41

"she taught us the how and why of every exercise..."

"My husband and I worked with Debra through the entire 12 week Body-for-LIFE program early in 2000.  While we found success with this particular program, we feel it was Debra's training that enabled us to realize that success.  We found her to be a knowledgeable professional who could draw on her vast experience to help us achieve our goals.  We have always participated in a variety of sports and been competent competitors.  But as a couple in the upper age group (52 and 68) we would have been discouraged by the workouts if Debra hadn't been there to design a program aimed at our specific abilities and needs. She not only helped us to stay on track, but she taught us the how and why of every exercise. We have continued to exercise at the gym at least 4 to 5 times a week on our own.  We are happy to recommend Debra to anyone, at any level of experience, who is considering taking that step toward better health."

Sara and Charlie Myers, Ages 52 and 68

Chuck, Age 68

After owning a business for 45 years and fighting adult onset diabetes, Live-In Fitness helped turn Chuck's life and health around to enjoy retirement. Blood sugar levels went down from 400 in the mornings to normal through bootcamp exercise. Nutrition became a tool he could rely on. See the video by clicking on the photo.

"Debra presented the information to me in a way that made it easy to understand, easy to commit to and accomplish."

"This in itself should be enough to persuade anyone to consider tapping into Debra's skills and expertise and to employ her abilities as a personal fitness trainer. After all, isn't that ultimately all that you could want; to reach your goal? Gratefully though, I can tell you more of a story. Besides reaching my initial objective for healthy weight (fat) loss, increased energy, lean muscle growth, and improved strength, Debra has provided continuing motivational guidance.

Thanks to her understanding of the human spirit, and to the delicate balance that she created for me between my will & my desire, I surpassed my primary goal. It has now been nearly a year since I bumped into Debra and was introduced to the Body-for-LIFE approach. She has helped me to improve my diet and exercise habits. Debra presented the information to me in a way that made it easy to understand, easy to commit to and accomplish.

After having worked with her, I have been able to remain committed to a proper diet and to daily workouts beyond the completion of my training time with Debra. I am also happy to say that I continue to receive motivational support from Debra to this day, even though I am no longer a paying client. I believe that is her personal commitment to my fitness and is an example of dedication that I aspire to."

Mens Weight Loss Camp finally made sense.

At Live-in-Fitness Las Vegas, he trains to regain his physical abilities and re-learn a new lifestyle.

Gene had a great set of parents who "gifted" him with the good physical structure most body builders envy. At an early age, he realized he could excel if he wanted. However, he took it all for granted and the years of sedentary lifestyle and faulty nutrition patterns took a toll.

At Live-in-Fitness Las Vegas, he trains to regain his physical abilities and re-learn a new lifestyle. See his training video clip for a quick snapshot of an natural athlete in a de-conditioned body just kicking to get out!
