Finding your FitPath

Mountain Trek is a different kind of Health and Fitness spa. Not a typical Spa offering cucumber facials and herbal wraps, but a physically demanding fitness and weight loss boot camp. Not a fat farm, but a fit farm. We call our Program, FitPath.

FitPath uses hiking as the key cardio component for increasing fitness and burning fat. Unique to our program is the ability to accommodate all fitness and hiking abilities. This personalized attention to our Guests’ personal goals is why our program is so successful and receives rave reviews. It is the reason we keep the groups to a maximum of 16 guests.

Four pillars comprise the FitPath Program:  Fitness, Nutrition, Detoxification, and Stress Management. We deliver the principles of each pillar during daily lectures and incorporate them into your total day’s experiences.

Fitness

Body Composition:

Your FitPath experience begins and ends with an in-depth body composition analysis including girth measurements. These measurements calculate body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) that are used to establish goals as well as track your progress during your stay with us. Blood pressure is also recorded.

Daily Yoga:

Early mornings are dedicated to yoga. A gentle form of Hatha yoga is used focusing on lengthening your muscles through safely directed postures.

Hiking:

Daily hikes are between 2-4 hours in duration. You will experience different trails with varying levels of difficulty and spectacular views. Hiking groups are determined by fitness level with opportunity to change groups through out the week.

Core class:

A beginner class to teach overall principles of  “engaging the core” and the importance of incorporating core exercises daily.
