Weight Loss Through Exercise

A weight loss resort is a word for various spas, resorts and retreats offering weight loss programs for adults. A pejorative term, perhaps more widely used, is fat farm .

History

Weight loss camps have existed in the United States in large numbers since the 1950s. Some of these achieved their touted weight loss through forced low-calorie diets and exercise, and were criticized as "quick fixes" that did not result in long-term weight loss.

Recent

Many modern weight loss resorts, particularly luxury resorts, take an approach geared more towards encouraging a healthy lifestyle and eating behavior than just achieving short-term weight loss. Programs like yoga, mediation and deep-breathing exercises may be offered in addition to traditional exercise. Many offer the chance to consult with medical doctors, physical therapists, nutritionists, personal trainers, even acupuncturists and life coaches. Other programs like St. Helena Hospital's Transformations weight loss retreat teach attendees how to cook or select healthy meals.

Some are more similar to medical centers and take a clinical approach, such as Clinique La Prairie and the Cooper Wellness Program in Dallas, Texas.

Weight loss spas have gotten major national press, including Health Magazine picking Four Great Weight Loss Spas.

Spafinder's Readers Choice Awards pick 10 top weight loss spas in the world each year.
