*includes arrival and departure daysPeople have loved Health and Fitness Week since it began in 1996, and every year we deliver on our promise to make it better than the year before.
In 2012, in addition to the facets of Health and Fitness Week you all know and love, we have incorporated a focus on acrobatic practices. And so, for the first time ever, we are bringing you Acro Health and Fitness Week!
The basic structure of Health and Fitness Week will be quite familiar to all of our returning alums, and the lectures and fitness classes have been refined and focused on acrobatic practices.
The event will deepen your knowledge of fitness and nutrition, immerse you in the wealth of skills and experience of our multi-talented and specialized staff, and fast-track your path to being the best you can be.
With the addition of acobatics, we now truly offer a complete health and fitness program. The immersion experience of this program empowers and inspires attendees with education and motivation to make the changes required to thrive in their health and fitness pursuits.
Whether you are experienced in acrobatic practices, a beginner, or simply looking to increase your enjoyment (and results) in your health and fitness endeavors, this life-changing event is not to be missed.
In addition, you get all of the following great features that make Health and Fitness Week something truly special!

Our Family
Nothing can replace the feeling of sitting down with 40 other people who all believe in living well. The raw food lifestyle is often labeled as isolating, but at Health and Fitness Week isolation is the last thing you feel. We generate friendships that last a lifetime, and we foster an environment where real community can be developed. Our staff and attendees will keep in touch with you throughout the year, helping you to achieve your goals, and strengthen your resolve. Here, you will never feel more at home away from home. And when you leave you will never feel more connected. So come to Health and Fitness Week and join the family.
