FAQ
Am I allowed to use my phone or computer during my stay?
Yes, absolutely. We do ask that you are respectful to the other guests when using your devices.
When do you offer your retreats?
The Retreat Center is open 50 weeks a year. We close down the two weeks over Christmas and New Year’s to give our team time with their families during the holidays.
What does all-inclusive mean?
All-inclusive here is more than what’s included in your rate. We also are all-inclusive to adult guests of all ages, gender, and fitness level.
Our goal is to provide an environment where everyone feels welcome, challenged, and accomplished. Our expert trainers will meet you where you are today in your fitness journey and take you to the next level.
What is included in the cost of my stay?
We provide a minimum week-long, all-inclusive, customized boot camp experience for all fitness levels. We host weekly workshops on nutrition and related topics within a typical 7-hour training schedule.

Are there any hidden costs?
If you choose to purchase merchandise or accessories from our general store or schedule any additional services and activities, additional fees or charges will apply unless otherwise specified in your package. The additional services would include (but are not limited to) massage, spa services, personal training, nutrition consultation, or life coaching from our instructors.
Will insurance cover my stay?
This really depends on your insurance. You will need to work with your doctor and your insurance company to determine your available coverage. To start the process, work with your doctor to declare a medical necessity and submit for reimbursement through your insurance medical savings account.
How much weight will I lose during my stay?
On average, women lose between 4-6 pounds per week, and men lose 6-8 pounds per week (we know – it’s not fair!). But everyone responds differently to the program. Most likely, your body is not accustomed to a daily fitness regimen of 6-7 hours, so you may react differently than other guests. Some guests retain water during their stay and lose the water weight when they go home to a regular routine.
Some guests lose more than the average. We encourage you to look at your success in a holistic way and measure your success with multiple items: weight loss, inches lost, increased strength, increased mobility, increased endurance, body fat loss, and feeling better both mentally and physically. While weight loss may appear to be the goal, we’ve found our guests realize so much more in addition to the overall weight loss.
I have a 60-70lbs to lose and I don't think that I'll be able to work out for 7 hours a day.
Our classes are 7 hours of various levels of movement and education throughout the day. Before you begin any classes, a trainer will work with you to address any physical limitations you may have to meet you at your current physical level.
Your safety is our top priority.
What type of classes are provided?
Overall, we focus on a whole-body workout that combines strength, mobility, cardio, and recovery throughout every day. We will do everything from HIIT, Weight Lifting, Boxing, Hiking, Biking, Yoga, Spin, and aquatic. Our schedules change each week so that we provide a wide variety of classes during the entire length of your stay. However, we also balance that variety with repetitiveness, so you feel confident in walking away with the knowledge to continue your fitness activities when you return home.
Will I be in classes with people at different fitness levels?
Yes and no. Each of our classes is uniquely designed to challenge guests of all fitness levels. This is accomplished by the vast experience of our trainers, who can provide modifications for every exercise based on your specific fitness level. So, we have group classes where all fitness levels are together and classes that are grouped by fitness level. Rest assured, you will be challenged based on YOU and not the person next to you. Our typical guest-to-trainer ratio is 15:1, so you will always have the personal attention you need to have a safe and challenging workout.
Is this a competitive environment?
We won’t lie; there is a certain level of competitiveness that naturally comes out in most guests during their stay. But that competitive spirit is most often you competing with yourself. Where you want to do more, you push yourself to achieve your goals. And you find the fire from within. It doesn’t happen for everyone, and that is certainly just fine with us. This is YOUR JOURNEY. We’re simply here to be your coach, accountability partner, and friend all along the way.
What is a typical day like?
Your first class each day will start at 7:00 am, with breakfast being served at 8:00 am. Each day you will review your accomplishments from the day before and set new goals for the day. Then you work through a variety of classes that take you through the peaks and valleys of fitness intensity. Your last class of the day will end at 5:30 pm. As for meals, again, breakfast is every day at 8:00 am, lunch will be served at noon, your afternoon snack at 3:00 pm, dinner at 5:30 pm, and an evening snack that you take back to your room. The rest of the evening is all yours! You may find that the intensity of the training regimen prompts a natural desire to ‘wind down’ during the evenings.
We encourage you to relax, enjoy a nice slow walk, read, and take advantage of the recovery therapies available in our Serenity Spa. The exceptions to the schedule are on Thursdays and Sundays which are half days; after all, your body needs recovery time! Breakfast and lunch on these days will be “take-home,” so you can enjoy your meal anywhere on or off the property. However, we will serve dinner in the Mess Hall in both evenings.
Is participation mandatory?
Strictly speaking, participation is entirely at the discretion of our guests. This is YOUR JOURNEY. Communication and goal setting are key elements to a successful experience. We encourage you to talk openly with your training during your initial meeting and develop the plan of participation needed to reach your goals. We will use this information to be your accountability partner during your stay. Ultimately – this will set you up for success both during camp and beyond. It is entirely up to you.
What if I haven't been working out? Can I still come?
Absolutely! Our program is designed for guests of all fitness levels. Our trainers are experts at assessing your current fitness level and providing modifications that allow you to build strength and achieve your goals no matter where you are on your journey.
What if I am unable to do some of the exercises or have limitations?
Our trainers will work with you every step of the way to ensure that your safety is first. Before you begin any classes, they will assess your current physical level and modify any exercises to meet you where you are.
What is the food like?
The Retreat Center chefs cook real, healthy food during your stay. We have a fixed meal each day. If we’re ever serving a meal that isn’t appealing to you, we always offer a tasty chicken dinner as an alternative.
What if I have special dietary requirements?
We recognize that you may have special dietary restrictions, allergies, or intolerances that need to be accommodated. Simply let us know about these items, and we’ll happily adjust your meals to these needs.
Our nutrition philosophy easily supports lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, and pescatarian dietary restrictions.
If I book a shared room, will I be sharing the room with someone of the opposite gender?
Cabins have mixed genders; however, the shared rooms within the cabins do not (unless a guest books a room to share with their friend/family/spouse, etc). If you select a shared room for your stay, you will be paired with a roommate of the same gender. This is designed to provide a comfortable environment for all guests, allowing everyone to enjoy their stay without feeling uncomfortable about who is in the same room.
Cabins share a common space where a sink, microwave, refrigerator, and laundry facilities are available. If you prefer privacy, our suite has all of the amenities, direct room access, and the ability to lock and not go through the shared common space.
