Fitness Training

You’ll experience an unparalleled level of activity on your Wellspring Retreat. From walking, hiking, and backpacking to new adventure activities, Wellspring will get your heart pumping and your adrenaline racing. You’ll also receive cross training and fitness weight training with your Wellspring personal trainer. Unless we’re at a meal, in our comfortable beds, or in a group or class, we’re active during a Wellspring Retreat.

Whatever the fitness activity, we always track how active we are. That’s why all guests and staff wear pedometers. We target a minimum of 10,000 steps per day, but most guests will get 15,000 steps per day or more.

At the same time, Wellspring professionals are extremely sensitive to the potential physical limitations of guests. Together, we will work to design activities and exercises that you will find fun and invigorating, and that you can continue at home.

Activities and fitness training on a Wellspring Retreat can include:

  • Whitewater rafting
  • Horseback riding
  • Spa treatments
  • Hiking
  • Rock climbing
  • Fitness weight training
  • Morning walks
  • Massages
  • Personal training
  • Cross training
  • Core strength training
  • Belaying
  • Polar TriFit Assessment
  • Pilates
  • Ropes course
  • Circuit training
  • Climbing – Alpine Tower
  • Yoga

Keep in mind that if you’re not able to do an activity, Wellspring professionals will work with you to design an alternative that pushes your fitness level, but is within your capabililty.

Personal Training

Wellspring’s personal trainers work with you individually and in small groups to help you develop fitness goals, gain confidence in using cardio or fitness training equipment, and learn several workout routines you’ll continue after returning home.

If you’ve never worked with a personal trainer before, you’ll find how invaluable it can be to have your own fitness coach focusing on your performance and helping to motivate you to achieve your fitness goals.  Wellspring personal trainers are attuned to the physical limitations that excess weight can create, and will help you design the best workout for your body.

Personal training occurs daily on Wellspring Retreats at hotels and resorts, as well as on expeditions where you will learn to train with resistance bands.
