Program Description

Busy schedule making it hard to pencil in time for taking care of yourself? At Wellspring Retreats, you need only eight days to kick-start an effective weight loss plan and learn the skills to continue losing weight over the coming months and years. Whether you prefer a travel and spa retreat or a vacation retreat, our luxury accommodations, adventure activities, culinary training, and fitness classes are sure to inspire rapid and lasting weight loss.

Starting with an introduction to the renowned Wellspring fitness and weight loss program, complete with textbooks, a pedometer, a self-monitoring journal, and all necessary gear, your adventure will begin with a number of heart-pumping activities like whitewater rafting, surfing, horseback riding, mountain biking, backpacking, and navigating ropes courses, as well as personal training and strength training sessions.

Every day you will call upon our staff of fitness trainers, culinary instructors, and master's and doctoral level therapists (called "behavioral coaches") to help you make lasting diet and activity changes. And you'll feel the difference right away - in fact, our guests average 4-6 pounds of weight loss in just eight days.

All elements of the Wellspring plan have a solid foundation in science, and have been designed with long-term weight control in mind. Your meals will consist of delicious low-fat, low-density foods that you will learn to prepare at home. In between meals and activities, you can relax with a spa treatment or massage from a professional masseuse or enjoy some quiet time in your private room.

Because we have your undivided attention for just eight days, we offer an intensive online continuing care program that allows you to keep working with your behavioral coach for three months. Armed with a support system, a new set of tools, and renewed motivation, a healthy lifestyle is well within your reach.
