Believing health and fitness is the most important part of one’s well-being, Dr. Marc and Vicki Sorenson, founders and directors, are fulfilling their lifelong passion for helping others at the National Institute of Health and Fitness.
Located in Midway, Utah, the institute attracts visitors worldwide. “The difference is the education,” said Marc recently about why the couple’s regimen has ranked above the rest in the country. “Our clients take the program home with the tools required to make them successful.”
Marc and Vicki were the founders of the National Institute of Fitness, in Ivins, Utah, which is regarded as one of the world’s highest-rated destination health resorts. For several years, the couple educated guests on methods to lose weight and to prevent such maladies as cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, chronic pain and arthritis.
Praised as one of the country’s most influential health teams, the Sorensons recently returned to the industry. Their program now has been implemented at the Zermatt and Homestead Resorts in Midway.
“Our passion is helping people get healthy and fit,” said Vicki. “Our clients can stay several weeks or several months,” she continued. “We are the most affordable health and wellness resort in the nation, with programs starting at $999 per week, including all meals, education, fitness classes, hiking and other activities.”
The Sorensons offer a time-tested, safe and effective approach. They are known for sharing their philosophy of health and fitness throughout the world with a compassionate and nurturing manner.
According to Marc, who is a top health authority in the U.S. and the world, the institute’s clientele have achieved such success as overcoming diabetes in an average of two weeks.
“We have many success stories,” he commented. The program at National Institute of Health and Fitness consists of education and fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates Zumba and circuit training. In addition, participants learn proper nutrition to achieve optimal health.
The program does not include any drugs or crazy gimmicks, explained Marc. “People are taught to eat what was intended for them to eat,” he said. “We do not restrict food portions, only the kind of food they eat.” No one goes hungry.
Vicki concurred. “We are not an extreme weight loss program,” she said. “We help others in an effective, safe and motivating manner. We teach things people can do at home.”
In addition to the program, Vicki said the location of the institute also contributes to the success people experience at the health and wellness resort. Midway offers incredible hiking opportunities, with clean air and spectacular scenery. “We are close to Park City,” Vicki commented. “So, people can get here easily and can shop and experience enjoyable activities, such as golf, horseback riding, mountain biking and the Sundance Film Festival.”
NIHF offers wellness, healing and weight loss through a scientific program consisting of plant-based meals and small amounts of protein, such as chicken or fish, for those who request them. Cooking classes and demonstrations, grocery store tours with label reading courses, nature hikes and walks, health and wellness education seminars, fitness and health evaluations, fitness classes, social activities and, finally, the use of the natural hot springs and baths are also included in the program.
“I believe it is one’s greatest reward to help his fellow man,” commented Marc. “Life-changing experiences happen to people who come here, and those are very rewarding moments,” he admitted.
Vicki agreed. “Our passion is helping people get well,” she said. “We have the best program, best results and best price.”

“I stayed at the National Institute of Health and Fitness (NIHF) for four months, and still believe it was the greatest experience of my life. I became healthier and happier, and left with a great, positive mental attitude. I arrived as a young girl of 17 who so desperately wanted to be like any other young girl, and feel normal, something I could not feel, weighing 240 pounds.
“I did manage to diet some weight off prior to my arrival, and was around 215 pounds when I started your program. I am now 24 years old, and have not only maintained the weight I lost at NIHF, but reduced my weight an additional 50 pounds, and have maintained it for quite a number of years. I have never returned to the old patterns of eating, and know how to control myself.
“When I share with others that I was once 100 pounds heavier, I am always met with disbelief. I am proud of my accomplishments achieved at NIHF, but am equally proud of being able to stay thinner and healthier for six years.”

“How do you describe a miracle? A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Marc Sorenson and his wife, Vicki, for their great program for fitness and health. I dropped my beta-blockers for high blood pressure, lost several dress sizes, and was able to walk 26 miles non-stop. The Sorensons know the truth about weight control and fitness.”

“When I began my program at the National Institute of Health and Fitness, my blood pressure was 145/95, my cholesterol was 440, and my blood sugar was 360 with medication. In six weeks, using the program outlined by Dr. Sorenson, my cholesterol dropped to 220, and blood sugar dropped to 180 without medication. My blood pressure is normal, and I take no medication for it now. My wife also brought her blood pressure from 149/100 to 100/75, and lost 54 pounds.”
