Unlike a health spa, a stay at Green Mountain at Fox Run
isn't just about getting away from the frenetic pace of everyday
life, nor is it a quick weight loss fix. It's about what you'll
take home with you.
Anti-aging volcanic mud wraps or sea salt scrubs, although
certainly rejuvenating once in a while, are not part of the
daily routine at Green Mountain. Unlike most health
spas which offer indulgent escape, Green Mountain, a healthy
weight loss
and fitness retreat, purposefully mirrors real-life
eating schedules and exercise opportunities. Although massage
and other amenities are available, the emphasis is on healthy
weight loss and lifestyle changes that last.
Health Spas vs. Green Mountain:
Quick Fix vs. Healthy Weight Loss
The difference is in Green Mountain's proven healthy
weight loss program and that we're not trying to be all
things to
all people. When you walk in the door to Green Mountain at
Fox Run, set against the backdrop of Vermont's gorgeous
Green
Mountains, you enter a proven educational program with
a singular focus on healthy weight loss. Whereas
health spas offer a dizzying array of pampering opportunities
and competing specialty programs such as smoking cessation,
Green Mountain's unmatched expertise is in healthy weight
loss—it has been for thirty years. Women come from all
over the world to Vermont for real solutions to life-long
weight and eating struggles, and to make permanent lifestyle
changes.
Unlike the one-size-fits-all temporary weight loss
gimmicks and deflating sense of competition found at some
health spas,
Green Mountain is a healthy, supportive environment with
specialized, individual attention for all participants.
Our approach is based on scientific knowledge of how women's
bodies work
and an intuitive understanding of women's struggles. At Green
Mountain, we know that restrictive dieting is not the answer
to the lasting achievement of healthy weight loss. The
goal
here is about long-term lifestyle change, not the short-term
benefits of a few days of health spa vacation.
Caring, Experienced Staff
The time-tested weight loss program
is directed by caring, skilled professionals in
the fields of nutrition, eating behavior, metabolism, exercise
physiology, psychology and stress management—many
of whom have spent their professional careers working exclusively
in the weight loss and weight management fields. Their goal
is to liberate women from the tyranny of diets, poor body
image and low self esteem.
With a maximum capacity of 35-40 women here at Green
Mountain at any time, each participant has ample opportunity
for hands-on,
personalized attention from the staff. With such an intimate
enrollment, no participant is simply a number out of hundreds
filtering through the classrooms each day. Instructors are
knowledgeable allies who really get to know you and your
unique
needs and experiences.
A Supportive Community
Unlike a typical health spa experience, Green Mountain
is for women only and the curriculum requires a minimum
stay of at least one full week. The residential
experience in our cozy, mountaintop lodge is fun and relaxed.
Taking meals communally and discussion-oriented classes mean
that the women here at Green Mountain create a supportive
community while in Vermont and often keep in touch after
they return home.
Because Green Mountain is about lifestyle changes
that you can maintain at home, the support from Green Mountain
continues after you leave Vermont. The professionals you
now have developed a relationship with are available to answer
questions by phone or e-mail or on the online discussion
boards,
to ensure that you can continue your Green Mountain success.
If you're serious about taking charge of your weight,
Green Mountain is an investment in yourself and your future.
It's
an experience that could change your life!
