Fitness & Weight Loss Resources
On this page, we’re sharing links to some amazing resources we love.
People ask us all the time: what scale do you use, what protein do you drink, what should I pack for the retreat? So we put it all in one place.
A few honest notes before you scroll:
— Eric Viskovicz & Sarah Lynn
Eric’s List
These are the tools I reach for every single day — for myself and for clients. Sorted A to Z so you can find what you need fast.
Food Scale
If you’re tracking macros, you need one of these. Period. Eyeballing portions is the #1 reason people get slower results, or see none at all. They think they’re eating 30g of peanut butter and it’s actually 60g. A $15 scale fixes this overnight.
Measuring Tape
The scale lies! A measuring tape does not. I tell every client to track their measurements, like waist, hips, and arms once a week. When the scale won’t move, the tape will show you what’s actually happening.

Orgain Protein Powder
This is what’s in my shaker right now. Mixes clean, tastes good, no weird aftertaste. I use it every day. That’s the whole pitch.

TENS Unit
Sore back? Tight shoulder? Long travel day? I use mine constantly. It’s a little electrical-stim device that loosens you up when foam rolling isn’t an option. Worth every dollar.
Sarah’s List
This is my real-life list — the protein I drink, the shirts I throw on, the bowls in my kitchen. Sorted A to Z.
Amazon Essentials Women’s V-Neck T-Shirt (2-Pack)
My everyday tee. Soft, doesn’t shrink weird, comes in a two-pack so I’m not paying $40 for one shirt. Comes in plus sizing too, which I love seeing.

Barebells Protein Bars
The only protein bar I genuinely look forward to eating. About 20g of protein, low sugar, and they don’t taste like cardboard. I keep a stash in my purse, my car, and my pantry. Yes, really.
Ceramic Mixing Bowl Set
These bowls are in my kitchen every single day. They nest, they’re heavy enough not to spin while you whisk, and they go in the dishwasher.

Dymatize Vanilla Protein Powder
When I want a whey protein after a hard workout, this is the one. Vanilla is plain in the best way — I dump it into oatmeal, smoothies, even pancakes. It plays nice with everything.

Ripple Vegan Protein Shake
Ready-to-drink, sealed bottles, plant-based. I throw a few in my bag for travel days, busy mornings, and times I just don’t feel like making a shake. Lifesaver.
Trendy Queen Cropped Zip-Up Hoodie
My favorite throw-on layer. Soft, cropped, perfect for warming up, cooling down, or running errands after the gym. I have it in more than one color. No regrets.

Umite Chef Kitchen Utensil Set
If you’re starting to meal prep and your kitchen drawer is a mess, this is the upgrade. Full set, heat-resistant, safe on non-stick. One purchase and you’re set.
Glass Meal Prep Containers
This has helped me so much with staying consistent with my nutrition. Meal prep containers like this are a game changer for staying organized and keeping your food fresh without the plastic. They are durable, leak-proof, and easy to clean.
