You probably wonder what a typical day or week at a fitness boot camp looks like. The following is a basic outline of what to expect. We stick to a plan but every day is a different hiking location, lecture, meal, activity. While you will find time to be alone, most of your day is filled with fitness activity, food, fun and fresh mountain air and vistas.

Morning

• 6:00 Morning Comes Early! A gentle, but firm wake-up tap on the door.
• 6:15 Nourish the Body with herbal tonic and protein shake in the dining room.
• 6:30 Greet the Day with yoga. A gentle stretch class while you watch the sunrise over the mountains.
• 7:30 Breakfast in our scenic dining room overlooking the stunning Kootenay Lake.
• 8:00 Morning briefing with the guides who review the day's hike, including level of difficulty, terrain, and clothing to bring for the day.
• 8:30 Depart for the trailhead in 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Each hike is unique and we've picked the very best the area have to offer! Each group is accompanied by experienced guides trained in first aid, and who are always in radio and telephone contact in case of emergency. Lunch is taken each day at a convenient spot along the trail, whether at waterfall,an alpine lake or meadow, an historic cabin, or a glacier fed river.

A Boot Camp Fitness Retreat

At Mountain Trek, our boot camp delivers a proven weight loss plan that is backed by cutting edge nutrition, fitness and detox. We are successful because we love what we do, we practice what we teach and we back it up with science. We can track and measure your calories, your weight loss, the total inches you shed. But what we can't quantify is the incredible feeling of well being and lightness that replaces the busy brain and stress with which most of our guest arrive. We can tell you it will change your life, but to fully understand what that means, you need to experience it for yourself.  Our guests tell us over and over, that it is amazing what even one week of fresh air, rigorous hiking, a daily dose of yoga, and healthy eating can do for one's body, mind, and spirit. You can start achieving that balance and losing that weight at Mountain Trek’s weight loss spa and retreat centers.

You Can Expect:

To sweat a lot! To increase the capacity of your lungs, to increase the strength and endurance of your legs, to shed pounds, and to feel better than you have in a long time. You can also expect to have incredible meals that are made with love and care (our secret ingredients!) in the Mountain Trek kitchen. You can expect to never get left behind, to always feel supported as you hike through some of the most beautiful terrain in the world. You can expect to fall into bed at night and sleep deeply. You can expect to be challenged. You can expect adventure. You can expect extraordinary moments in nature.

We've been named one of the best weight loss and fitness boot camps in the world by Tatler magazine. That means a lot to us and a lot to the people who come to Mountain Trek.
