Are you looking for a
different kind of "fat farm" – a “Fit Farm” that offers a physical and
nutritional program that will change your life?
Our FitPlan Plus guests
are those who are serious about losing weight, and are prepared to work as hard
physically as they can, and learn a new way to eat, in order to get the weight
off and keep it off long term. FitPlan Plus hiking trails can accommodate
beginner and intermediate fitness levels in all weeks, and can accommodate
advanced levels from mid July through early October only.
With a limit of 14 guests
per week, FitPlan Plus can help you develop a physical and nutritional program
to take home that addresses your abilities and life circumstances.
We have introduced two
ways to enjoy and benefit from our FitPlan program:

FitPlan Plus: a popular
program in the spring, summer, fall, and winter at Mountain Trek. This program
appeals to those who believe that they must "get out there and do it", rather
than sit in a lecture and talk about it. This is a truly comprehensive package
combining our outdoor experiences, indoor training and assessment, a sensible
effective food plan, and a motivational mindset to get you going in the right
direction and keep going! FitPlan Plus can accommodate those who are just
getting back on the road to fitness, as well as those who want to increase their
current fitness level. This is truly a retreat for those who are serious about
weight loss, and who are prepared to not only work physically as hard as they
can, but also be open to changes in their lifestyle in terms of food and
activity.
Only then will the
benefits of the FitPlan Plus kick in and continue to promote the maintenance of
a healthy body weight and body fat content. The FitPlan Plus retreat is a HIGHLY
structured daily regimen of balanced physical activity (for development of
higher levels of flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular capabilities),
healthy food intake* (and how to do it), and pampering/relaxation -- see the "Typical
Schedule".
* We offer the two-week
Atkins Induction program at your request.
Each day is HIGHLY structured (see the
Typical Daily Schedule), to give you the benefit of living an ideally
healthy day each day of your vacation.
You will learn about your
body composition and see it move in a positive direction during your stay, by
strategically altering your exercise program and your food intake. You will
learn the proper and easy ways to hike, fitwalk, weight-train, and stretch
safely and effectively. You will learn to use personal fitness equipment (heart
rate monitor, pedometer, poles and bladders) to enhance and evaluate each
fitness session. You will learn to examine your lifestyle and identify the
important changes that should be made and CAN be made to promote long-term
weight loss and healthier habits.
We combine the expertise
of our professional fitness and health staff, with our natural healthy
surroundings perfect for fitness, fun, and relaxation. This program is geared to
those who are serious about losing weight. Energizing nutrition, appropriate
outdoor and indoor exercise, education, and well-earned relaxation and pampering
are the components of this retreat. Every day is HIGHLY structured and very
active.
