For many customers signing up for fitness vacations, it’s an opportunity to break free from the sticky beginner phase of fitness that can be boring, un-motivating and disempowering. Yes, most definitely they can do it at home, and they don’t need to spend thousands of dollars for a week of wellness. 

But need and want are two different things, and the women who join Whistler Fitness Vacations – one of Canada’s leading fitness vacations, located in B.C. are typically overworked executives, hard-working Moms, stressed out CEO’s and entrepreneurs who understand the value of full time focus. To immerse yourself in wellness for a week of eating right, living light, reconnecting with nature and exploring fun fitness classes while re-kindling your joy of cooking is truly a time effective way to get back into healthy habits.

Fitness vacations help you to find confidence in not only yourself, but also in your belief of what others around you can achieve. Challenge is addictive and when you see amazing women like you shaping up at incredibly fast pace, going from never-ever fitness programming to jogging their first 5km forest trail, you empower yourself with hope in how quickly life can change.

Choosing The Right Wellness Retreat

Finding fitness vacations for your needs, personality and activity preferences is important. When choosing a wellness retreat, be sure to look on their website for the following things:

– How long have they been in business for?

– Is your investment protected should things go wrong, for example, are they accredited with the Better Business Bureau, do they have a business license (and is it posted publicly so you can see if it is still valid), are they a member of any chamber of commerce or their cities tourism board. All these things require screening and often auditing which dodgy start-up businesses will most likely not bother with.

– Do they use paypal or a valid payment gateway – such as Beanstream, which requires an SSL certificate and security check.

– Google the names of their testimonials. Are they legit? At least half of the names should come up on google. Sometimes we change the names of guests at their request for confidentiality reasons when they are submitting a testimonial, but no more than 20% of the time. Most should come up on at least Facebook or LinkedIn.

Motivating, Inspiring and Educating You To Be Your Best

While every fitness program will help build your confidence (that’s just what getting in shape does) not every fitness program will empower you to continue the journey without your fitness instructor. Sustainable fitness is the thing that we’re best known for!

At Whistler Fitness Vacations, beginner exercisers enjoy daily learning through low-impact programming including hiking, power walking, gently learn-to-run sessions, water workouts, fun fitness classes, strength training, stretching and alpine exploring in one of the most geographically beautiful places in Canada. 

Confidence is that incredible feeling you get when you realize that you worked for the goal that you achieved. We take pride in showing you the ropes, and find JOY in that final high-five at the end of your stay when you realize that  you’ve “got this!”
