Mountain Trek's hiking, weight loss, and relaxation program
The Mountain Trek program will improve your overall health and wellness. The majority of our time is spent on the trails, but we are much more than a hiking and fitness boot camp. And although weight loss is a key component of our program, we are not a fat farm. Weight loss is only one (admittedly important) aspect to your overall well-being.
We will help you find your vitality. Simple, right? Not always. Vitality includes many aspects of your physical and emotional self and certain pieces of it, like weight loss, can be intimidating. We work with our guests on a personal level to make it achievable. Our staff to guest ratio is 1 to 4, and this individual attention is a cornerstone of our philosophy. At Mountain Trek you are never a ‘number’ - but you will like the digits on the scale at the end of your stay.
Our registered dietitian, Jeff, will lead you through nutrition classes that teach you how to feed your body healthy, wholesome foods. There are no fad diets here - instead you will find practical recipes and delicious spa cuisine. Your days will begin with gentle yoga to stretch and warm up your muscles for a demanding day on the trails, and end with invigorating and fun fitness classes led by Cathy, our enthusiastic head guide. Kirk, our Program Director and certified life coach, balances it all out with his de-stress and relaxation workshops. (The sauna and steam room don’t hurt either!) You will leave with practical strategies to manage stress in your everyday life, and we can continue to help you on your path with personalized wellness coaching.
Please have a browse through the pages in this section for more in-depth information about our program, and if you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to call Barb and Kirk at 1-800-661-5161.

Saw an article on Yahoo! news describing a study in the journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Whilst the catchy headline told me to skip breakfast, the research data did nothing to persuade me to give up breakfast before doing activity. The study looked at only 7...
