Eat right, exercise, and let nature work its magic: Mountain Trek holds firm to the core values it grew up on.
Ainsworth, Hot Springs, BC – Crashing down with the economy is the face of what used to be luxury health spas. Think exotic facials, deluxe mud wraps for cellulite and endless of hours of pampering. Think no more. Back in vogue in the spa sector are the basic fundamentals of health and well-being – sensible healthy eating, lots of exercise, and letting nature work its magic by reducing stress.
“Our guests are looking for a fitness and wellness program that will give them results not cucumber facials,” comments Kirkland Shave, Mountain Trek’s General Manager and Program Director. Mountain Trek is a high intensity hiking boot camp geared towards not only weight loss for their guests but for long term “lifestyle” changes. “We certainly have known about the health benefits of nature since we opened in 1992 as a retreat offering recreational programs.
We honed our program around hiking to offer the opportunity for our guests to experience the beauty and expansiveness of nature while immersing basic health principles like the benefits of a nutrient dense food plan, what detox practices are, as well as the importance of moving all of the body, “ continues Shave. “It’s a simple but intense program that works. And they can feel the difference.”
Luxury is a word still used at Mountain Trek but is defined by service. It’s why at Mountain Trek maintains its occupancy rate to 16 guests. A guide to guest ratio of 1-4 and a staff ratio of 1-2 means a guest doesn’t go unnoticed or a guest’s needs are overlooked. “Even when we underwent renovations in the last two years, it was to add in a new spa area not to increase the number of rooms. It is our personalized service where we receive the most gold stars of our program,” continues Shave.
It’s this no-nonsense approach to fitness and weight loss that keeps guests returning for “tune ups” years later. “Our guests have come to value what we have to offer, that it works which our repeat clientele is 30%,” finishes Shave.
Mountain Trek offers its sensible but hard working fitness and weight loss programs in British Columbia, North Carolina, and Costa Rica. Call 1-800-661-5161 for program details.
