Sports Camp with Dr. Doug Graham and Prof. Rozalind Gruben

Most people who had the good fortune of attending summer camp as children remember it as one of the highlights of their youth. Three delicious meals a day, lots of fun and recreation, special friends, new skills, great coaches; set in a pristine natural wonderland. Health and Fitness Week in Silverthorne, CO is just such an event, reminiscent of summer camp, but for adults, and with several huge advantages.
A maximum of 24 "campers", are served by almost as many staff personnel. Educational presentations, organized by Prof. Rozi Gruben, acclaimed as one of the world's top ranking health and fitness experts

are offered after each meal and are geared to help you improve your own health and lifestyle. The food is Dr. Doug Graham's own "Simply Delicious" raw cuisine, the same foods he uses when coaching world-class athletes. Before each meal an optional fitness class is offered, custom designed to meet your ability level, and guaranteed to be fun. There is a maximum of 6 campers for each instructor. Free airport transfers, free massage, and free blood analysis, and other bonuses all combine with the plentiful staff to give you that "being taken care of" feeling.

An increasing percentage of attendees are returning veterans, a good sign indeed. If you want to immerse yourself in the good life; gain access to cutting edge fitness procedures taught by world-class instructors, learn how to be healthy for your entire lifetime, and eat unlimited delicious raw vegan meals, all the while having the time of your life, then Health and Fitness Week '05 is for you.
Red Mountain Spa

For years guests have been finding their answers at this unique health resort located in southwestern Utah. The answers come with guests participation in the learning center and classes on cooking, grocery shopping, mind-body awareness, time and stress management and disease prevention.
You can learn to make healthy choices daily as you select from the nutritious menu and workout on cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, swim in refreshing pools, attend water and step aerobics classes, participate in sessions of "Spinning"® on Schwinn equipment and relax in soothing whirlpools. But for most, the true life change comes as guests put on their hiking shoes and venture up the trails through Snow Canyon State Park (named for its early settlers, not for the "white stuff"). Among the vertical towers of rust-red sandstone, the pink weathered mounds of slickrock, and the scattered boulders of ancient black lava, you can "get out and move," and discover that your health and well-being are not attached to the numbers they you on a scale every morning but to their ability to walk from one point to another, their desire to climb to the top of a ridge, their joy in running a distance they've never reached before.

7-Night Packages Start at $199* per person! Package includes: · Beautiful Accommodations · Guest Speakers & Events · Three Healthy Gourmet Meals Daily · Daily Guided Morning Hikes in a Spectacular Red Rock Setting · Unlimited Fitness Classes including Yoga and New York City Ballet Workout® · Full Use of Resort Facilities, including: Indoor and Seasonal Outdoor Pools, Whirlpools, Walking Trails, Fitness Center, Strength Training and Cardio Equipment. Spa services, golf, outdoor adventure trips, and health & fitness services can be added to any package for an additional price.

Global Fitness Adventures

Global Fitness Adventures is a traveling Spa-Fari that offers the ultimate in adventure, exploration and renewal. Each of our exotic locations are chosen for their profound beauty, ancient cultures and unspoiled environments. We have chosen Lake Como, Italy because no other place in Europe offers the physical beauty and idyllic old world charm as this spectacular region. From the Glacier Lake and historical hillside villages to breathtaking vistas afforded by the Alps and Dolomites, this is a "hikers paradise."
In designing an exciting all-inclusive itinerary for you to enjoy we have selected an abundance of beautiful trails to optimize your fitness level; yoga, massages and healthy food to rejuvenate you; and an interesting collage of cultural explorations to educate you. Global Fitness Adventures' crew includes Italian naturalists and tour guides who are very knowledgeable of this region's geology, history, artistry and cuisine.

Lake Como is called one of the most romantic lakes in the world and is shaped like a "y", with GFA's destination the cobblestone village of Bellagio, called the "Pearl" of Lake Como, right at the center of the "y" . Our timetable of May and June are when the scenery is most breathtaking -- pungent flowers are everywhere -- including wild peony that grow high on mountain trails. *September is also offered.

Open your doors at our 4-star Villa Garden Hotel to look out at the sparkling view of the lake and surrounding countryside: chateaux, olive groves, pictureque fishing villages, Alps and the snowcapped Dolomites in the distance. Begin your day with a yoga-stretch class to prepare your muscles for a day on the trails, enjoyed in an elegant Italian marbled room with French doors…. opening out to a view, of course; followed by our daily hike. Most days' hikes (with daily mileage options suited to your individual ability, are anywhere from 4--15 plus miles) begin with a ferry ride to different trailheads and villages around the lake where you begin to hike up. Hiking destinations include the Lombardian Alps, the Swiss Alps, Mount Grona, an old monastery high in the mountains, the mount of the cross (our crescendo hike of 4,200-ft gain) and the many little hamlets and pre- Alps around Bellagio.
