Our Approach

Imagine a life free from weight worries. Eating what you want and enjoying it without guilt and in a way that feels healthy. Moving your body in ways that feel good to you — looking forward to bike rides with family and friends, walking while on vacation, playing on the floor with your children and grandchildren. Loving who you are and what you can do, not dwelling on what could be better. Enjoying the present moment rather than putting your life on hold until you achieve a certain goal or weight.

This life is not a fantasy. At Green Mountain at Fox Run, the country’s first and only non-diet healthy weight loss retreat for women only, we help you on your journey back to your intuitive, healthy self. The one that runs and skips and participates fully in life.

For almost 40 years, we’ve taught thousands of women how to truly take care of themselves and achieve long-term weight loss. We teach normal eating, like you did as a kid before you started to worry about your weight. Our staff helps you find the pleasure in moving your body, in ways you’ll look forward to and can do when you go home. And, most importantly, we help you change your thinking, so you can begin to support yourself in achieving your goals with your health, your weight and your life.

Part of our magic is the gift of time to focus on yourself, away from your daily routine, free of the demands of your busy life. At our residential program, among like-minded women who can relate to your struggles, guided by our expert staff, you can test new ideas and find the ones that work best for you. You can take the time you need, undistracted, to explore the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors needed to make a real difference in your life.

Because booking your stay with us is a big decision, we designed this section of our website to provide you with answers to your questions — from the way we approach changing women’s minds, bodies and lives to the types of accommodations we offer.
