A traditional health retreat of rest and relaxation seems irresistible. Images of tranquil spa days, relaxing massages, and gourmet meals promise an escape from day to day life.
If you are are overweight or obese and need to achieve real improvements in your health, a standard pampering health retreat may not be the answer – there is almost certainly a better alternative for you.
A more specialist retreat like OnTrack which incorporates nutrition, exercise, and mindset education will probably help you lose more weight, improve your fitness faster, and change long term habits more effectively than a traditional health retreat.
The Usual Offerings Of A Traditional Health Retreats
When finding a health retreat, you might think about a program filled with pampering and relaxation. They often emphasise rest and relaxation, providing a temporary escape from the day to day stress of life. This can be enjoyable and beneficial for stress relief, but it rarely results in actual health improvements or sustainable lifestyle changes.
Traditional health retreats will often include:
- Spa Treatments
Massages, facials, and body scrubs will feel luxurious, but they don’t contribute to any real results – wouldn’t you prefer some actual weight loss and fitness improvements? - Leisure Activities
While some retreats will offer yoga or gentle walks, they often lack the results orientated fitness training necessary for significant results. At retreats like OnTrack you’ll instead get a full program of fitness at your level designed to achieve maximum results. - Indulgent Meals
Many health retreats serve healthy but gourmet meals that, while delicious, may not focus on practical, everyday nutrition for weight loss – you are unlikely to be popping those edible flowers and whipped foam on the top of your gourmet dinner at home.
The problem with traditional style health retreats is the focus on relaxation over actual long lasting change. They give you an illusion of health rather than any real long term success. You will probably leave feeling refreshed and relaxed, but without the habits you need to maintain a healthier lifestyle once you return home.
Instead, specialist retreats like OnTrack Health Retreats specialise in weight loss, fitness and lifestyle change and are designed to not only get results now but also help you develop a long term healthy lifestyle so you can keep the weight off and key your fitness and health on track.
You Need Sustainable Change And Not Short Term Relaxation
If you’ve have tried multiple diets and faced failure after failure, the frustration can be overwhelming. Trying again can feel pointless
You, like most people probably know what you need to do to lose weight and get fit, but the reality of making those changes can be a different story. This is where a specialist weight loss retreat can make a real difference to you.
A more focused and specialist weight loss & fitness orientated health retreat like OnTrack focuses on weight loss, fitness and sustainable lifestyle changes that extend beyond the duration of the stay. Here’s why:
- Fitness Programmes For All Levels
Unlike typical health retreats, specialist retreats provide fitness sessions that cater to all levels of ability. You can participate in sessions ranging from high intensity workouts (always at your level) to gentle yoga or walk. Everyone works at their level to achieve the best results for them. - Tasty Healthy Food You Can Recreate At Home
Instead of indulgent meals that may not be practical, a retreat like OnTrack focuses on teaching attendees how to eat for health and longevity. You will learn how to prepare nutritious meals, understand portion sizes, and develop a better positive relationship with food. - Mindset Seminars For Long Term Success
Achieving long term weight loss is as much about mindset as it is fitness or food habits. Specialist retreats designed for long term lifestyle change will often include workshops and seminars that focus on emotional eating, motivation, and motivation, so you have the mindset tools necessary to overcome the challenges we all face when trying to make a positive change. - Focus on Long-Term Results
The main difference between a traditional retreat and a more specialist weight loss retreat is that a specialist retreat will help you achieve long term results, not just a temporary quick fix. By combining a retreat program of fitness, nutrition, and mindset seminars, you will leave with a clear plan of action and the confidence to maintain your progress long after the retreat is over.
Will You Pay The Cost of Choosing Pampering Over Actual Results?
Although a week of relaxation and pampering can be tempting you should consider the long term impact of your choice. A traditional relaxation health retreat may offer a short-term “feel good” experience, but without the mindset changes needed, you may find yourself back at square one soon after returning home.
I’m sure you’ve experienced the diet cycle before and it can be hugely frustrating and demoralising.
In contrast, a specialist retreat like OnTrack that focuses on weight loss, fitness & habit change is a real long term investment in your health. The results you get and knowledge you learn during your stay can help you make better day to day choices about your lifestyle, leading to sustained weight loss and improved overall health – for the long term.
