Hilton Head Health is Great Experience



In doing my research, Hlton Head Health was exactly what I was looking for: a reputable program in a nice setting with focus on education, health and exercise with other people looking to do the same. I was not looking for a vacation, a girls retreat or a spa. That being said, I enjoyed my time there immensely, met wonderful people and had one of the best massages I ever had ( thank you Betty!). I was initially hesitant about spending the money and the time, but can tell you it was worth every penny. The program is wonderful with supportive, caring staff, insightful seminars, varied exercise options and great food ( despite being on a restricted calorie diet). I arrived feeling unmotivated and lacking in self-belief. I left after a week feeling renewed, energized, confident and with a plan. I regret not being able to stay longer and have already put down a deposit for a return stay. I never expected to enjoy my time so much while exercising so many hours each day or that I would be sad to leave and wanting to return.

This is a realistic program focused on lifestyle change addressing the whole person: physical, mental and emotional well-being. The facilities are clean, well-equipped and welcoming. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful. But what really makes this place special is the people. Everyone from the front desk to the dining room staff to the trainers make you feel special and that anything is possible. Before I arrived, I was not exercising and by the end of the week I was doing a beach bootcamp and a 5K! I was apprehensive about coming alone but made friends quickly, felt safe in my surroundings and never felt uncomfortable in any of the classes (as you often do in other workout environments), staff and guests are all very supportive of each other. There were people here of all shapes and sizes, all looking to get healthy. I took advantage of every seminar and exercise class that time allowed in the day, leaving my condo at 6:45 am for the sunrise beach walk (amazing way to start the day) and not returning most nights until 8 pm. I felt the accommodations were comfortable and more than adequate, with my own bedroom and bathroom in a shared condo with a washer and dryer. If you are serious about making a change, just do it and Hilton Head Health is the place! There is a reason that so many are return guests.
