Just finished a weekend retreat with Mountain Trek with my husband. I had booked a week long trip there but rescheduled for next year due to Covid. I was a bit apprehensive as the sessions are all on Zoom however we could not have been happier with our decision. The workout classes were excellent as were the cooking sessions. We left with newfound knowledge and some concrete actions to put in place over the winter months. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs to kick start a wellness program.

From the moment you arrive to the day you leave, you receive one on one personal attention throughout your stay. Many of the guests during my week had been there several times already. The hikes were beautiful and a great workout, the food was great, even the laundry service was spectacularly. Hot tub, steam room, sauna, massages - they have thought of everything. Great job Mountain Trek. I’ll be back in the fall. My only regret was not booking two weeks.

I am a physician and was at first a tiny bit skeptical about the program but within a few days of healthy eating, fresh air and hiking in the beautiful Kootenay mountains and pampering from experienced guides and staff- I felt transformed. In two weeks, I lost 9 pounds, my blood pressure dropped to the lowest normal range it’s ever been in my life and I was able to stop my blood pressure medication. At the end of the program, body and my mind felt strong and clear and I felt ready to tackle the next phase of my life. Finding health and vitality is a warrior’s path and a lifelong journey, and

Mountain Trek is the best gift I've ever given myself. I'll be going back for the third time in the fall. There is simply no better place to clear the cobwebs and reconnect with the real you, free and clear of daily distractions. It's not just a spa or a luxury retreat or a bootcamp - it's a place to reset, learn, grow, heal and have fun in a breathtaking setting. Thanks to an exceptionally talented, kind staff and the array of resources available to support you, you leave feeling rejuvenated and armed with the tools to tackle life AND live it. Save up and make the commitment to go to MT. You are

Love Mountain Trek! A good place to go when you need to get back on track. It is a wonderful reset for your metabolism but also your mindfulness and peace of mind. Knowledgeable staff, beautiful scenery, delicious food! Nice rooms, nothing fancy but plenty comfortable. Sign up for a nightly massage-you will need it from the intense hiking!

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

One week here will reboot your life. At ANY age ... I am over 60 and after a week at Mountain Trek I feel better than i have for the past 20 years!!!! It's an organic experience with people who really know what they are doing. Hiking in the most pristine Canadian Mountains surrounded by glacier filler lakes is spectacular. You will change your life at this place. Promise!!!

Must give it 5 stars due to the bliss factor! I had recently found relief from years of chronic pain and found myself weak and lacking stamina. So, needless to say, I'm a tough customer. I wasn't sure I'd be able to keep up on the hikes, but they have 3 groups to allow for all fitness levels so it wasn't a problem.
In a week they turned this skeptic into a believer. When I left there I was FLOATING! It was a great experience. Superb ultra-healthy food, amazing staff and gorgeous views. Yes, you will WORK but it seems like such a treat to be there that you forget you&apos

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

Mountain Trek occupies a glorious location near Ainsworth Hot Springs, outside Nelson, BC. The common areas of the lodge have stunning views overlooking Kootenay Lake, but the rooms are extremely small with no or limited views and only the most basic amenities. Luxury lodging is not the reason for staying at Mountain Trek, however--the purpose is a hiking-centered guided fitness retreat. The food is tasty as well as healthy and the guides are skilled. There were a few tiny bumps along the way but overall this program excels in common sense advice, nutritional information, and a great way to
