  I was fairly fit when I went but came out stronger and fitter and much more knowledgable. I learned a lot of tools that I now use in my daily life to lead a more healthy lifestyle. It's a lot of physical activity but everyone is so encouraging and at the end the results don't lie. The goal is to boost metabolism and kickstart you to a new lifestyle and for me and other guests I spoke to this is exactly what happened. The guides are expert, the kitchen staff superb (and very accessible), and the facilities are top notch. As for the setting, with gorgeous views over Kootenay Lake and surrounded by mountains and wilderness, it's the best! In fact, it's why I live only 45 minutes away :) As full disclosure I was invited as a media guest...I had very little expectation when I arrived but was really taken aback at what Mountain Trek is about and I saw firsthand how positive this organization is in the community and how they are literally changing people's lives in a very positive and holistic way. It's not just about diet and exercise, the program encompasses all aspects of life and sets up its guests to be as successful as possible. Under normal circumstances I don't write reviews but after experiencing this I feel compelled to.

  I went to Mountain Trek not expecting a lot. I'm a reasonably active guy who eats half decently and doesn't have a high-stress job. Wow. Was I wrong. After one week I had gained muscle, decreased my body fat %, and was sleeping better than I ever have. The trails we hiked were breath-taking and lounging in the spa in the evenings under the stars was thoroughly relaxing. At first I was concerned about the food portions but turns out I was never hungry and the food is incredible! Salmon, stew, omelettes and, my favourite, bliss balls. Definitely not the type of fare I was expecting for a health spa. After one week I felt like a new human being: energized, healthy, strong and revitalized. The only downside to the whole experience was having to leave. Can't wait to return one day soon.

  Fabulous experience! It's definitely a top boutique hiking spa with it's chef-prepared gourmet food, attentive staff and world class hiking guides/instructors. Extra services for the body, mind and spirit are offered. I tried the CHEK assessment for my back and neck. I was so pleased with the way it helped my posture I can say it really was worth every penny. I can, without reservation, highly recommend this weight loss retreat. They know what they're doing and you feel inner peace, a lightness and optimism that translates to a state of bliss when you (reluctantly) leave. I look forward to going again maybe next year if I think I need a tune up or just to challenge myself!
