SciFit Center

My experience with scifit was excellent! I have dietary issues and the team help me find options that fit my diet needs, while helping me achieve my weight loss goals. The scans were very motivating!

I came to SciFit because I wanted a doctor-run program that taught good nutrition, NOT rapid weight loss! This is it! They teach you proper nutrition here without supplements, protein powders or shakes. Your body is scanned, not just weighed. You are given an education so that when you "graduate", you have something you can use the rest of your life! Fabulous investment!

Wasn't what it's advertised. I signed up because I love that they use a body composition measure instead of BMI. However, it is advertised as a customized program to the participant. This is not accurate. They have a rigid fixed program and offer no education or encouragement if you are not adhering to this 100%. The information on the website and what is provided to clients initially is very vague and people are told to be perfect in order to progress in the program. I lost 10 pounds in 7 weeks (awesome for me), but was provided little to no encouragement or supporting feedback because I was not following things 100%. I am looking for a program that will help me manage life more effectively, not one that will essentially encourage me not to go out with friends or to take my own food to restaurants in order to stay on their rigid program. When I challenged the dietician and asked about how to order food better at restaurants, I was given no information and essentially told not to eat out and that this was only for a while, with no additional clarity. When I complained after 7 weeks of receiving essentially no education or support (other than eat no carbs and no cheese), staff came across as though I was being non-compliant and difficult. They advertise this program as something to help the individual and to customize things to the individual, but that was not my experience. Further, when I attempted to cancel the remainder of the program, I was informed that I would forfeit the remainder of the fees I had paid which was their policy (which was not clearly communicated to me). Ultimately, I gave them 3 stars because the body composition was great info for me to have and their rigid dietary expectations, helped me break through a couple of personal walls. But this program is not encouraging or supportive. Rather, I found it inflexible and rigid, only getting meaningful response when I said I wanted to cancel future appointments. I was told that I needed to return to the appointments since I had already paid for them, to which I responded that I could not work in such a vulnerable way with people who are untrustworthy. If they had detailed out the exact policies and expectations of the program more clearly in the beginning, I never would have signed up since I am not looking for a rigid, essentially Paleo diet that I could have done on my own at home.

I was very skeptical at first, but I eventually agreed to start the program. I was given the tools, but I will tell you the secret sauce: just follow the plan. If you do exactly what they tell you, this will work. They have it all laid out. They know what they are doing. Do yourself a favor, sign up. There is so much info being pushed at us about health and fitness and losing weight that it just gets so confusing. This plan removes all that noise and gets right to the heart of how to get rid of that excess weight. I feel like myself again, thanks to their process. That is truly the best gift. If, like me, you think you know everything there is about weight loss and have tried everything there is out there. You should try this… It really works.
