Attention all Biggest Loser fans! Have you been wanting to go to a place like The Biggest Loser Ranch and finally get rid of those unwanted pounds? Now you can - and it is at one of our Destination Spa Group spas!
Fitness Ridge Resort & Spa is now The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge. It really is a perfect fit as Fitness Ridge's program was always "Loser-esque", offering a comprehensive weight-loss experience that focuses on exercise, healthy nutrition and education.
Loser fans and wannabes will love the program as it is similar to the infamous Biggest Loser Ranch. The goal is to provide the same sort of structured and nurturing environment as the contestants on "The Biggest Loser". I wonder how often Bob & Jillian will be making appearances?
The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge offers a minimum one-week weight loss program, but guests are welcome to stay as many weeks as they wish. The average day consists of at least six hours of physical exercise, which includes a wide variety of aerobic alternatives – from hiking in the majestic Snow Canyon State Park, to swimming, to kickboxing, to mat Pilates.
Similar to other destination spas, there is an emphasis on exercise and movement, but there is also a focus on helping people change their lives through education. An essential piece to Biggest Loser success, the fitness program and education series are designed to prepare guests to begin a new, healthier way of living when they leave the resort.
During their stay, guests are treated to three delicious meals a day, prepared by a trained, on-site chef and dietitian. The low-fat, low-calorie meals are prepared with an emphasis on creativity and flavor so that participants find it hard to believe that the calorie count comes in at 1200 per day. Imagine spinach and roasted red pepper fritattas for breakfast, couscous stuffed peppers with white bean and vegetable soup for lunch, and chicken breast with roasted root vegetables for dinner. And don't forget dessert. Yes, dessert is always served, including everyone’s favorite chocolate covered strawberries.
Following the daily fitness schedule, guests are encouraged to relax and pamper themselves in the resort’s full-service spa. All services are geared toward relieving tension and restoring energy, balance and focus. Although I have a feeling the Tuesday evening schedule will include tuning into "The Biggest Loser" on NBC.
