Six Day Wellness

Our six day program is extremely comprehensive. Our goal is to provide you with absolutely all the knowledge you need to live a good life. We start the program at 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon to allow you time for a comprehensive physical at Cooper Clinic on Monday morning, should you choose to schedule one. If you’re interested in learning the most up-to-the-minute health information, and in developing a plan for applying that information to your life, this is the program for you. Our goal is to help you live the best possible life. The program includes:

• Opportunities to take 18 different classes
• PLUS two private one-on-one personal training sessions with a degreed certified personal trainer
• Fitness lectures and classes
• Design a personal exercise plan customized to your needs and lifestyle.
• Learn how and why to use a heart-rate monitor
• A podiatrist will advise you on the best exercise shoes for your feet
• Health lectures
• Enhancing your Relationships
• Stress Management
• Sleep management
• Opportunities to make meaningful changes in your life.
• Vitamins and supplements

• Two demos let you enjoy “good for you” meals with take home recipes for easy-to-replicate dishes.
• Three classes with our registered dietitian (who has also trained at the Culinary Institute) will teach you the guidelines for optimal nutrition and help you figure out what you should eat at home and when dining out.
• Over the six-day program, you will dine out for breakfast and dinner with our registered dietitian who will help you practice and implement the lessons you’ve learned.
• The dietitian is also with you during breakfast and lunch daily, giving advice, providing insight, and often conducting impromptu cooking demonstrations.
• A counselor will talk about emotional eating and our relationship with food.

• Our coach will work with you to develop a five year life plan.
• A professional counselor will help you remove obstacles/barriers that are preventing you from achieving happiness.

Our team of medical experts will provide guidelines on how to live a healthier life including tips on cardiac health, understanding your blood work, and aging gracefully. Our entire staff is highly qualified. Virtually all them have graduate degrees, and many have their doctorates in medicine and related sciences. In fact, Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the father of aerobics, often lectures on 21st Century Medicine and how to Start Strong, Finish Strong.
