Fitness vacations
Have muffin top, will travel. Forget Paris — many overweight adults are choosing to spend their summer vacations (and ample savings) shedding unwanted pounds at pricey retreats throughout Canada and the U.S.
Call it a fitness vacation, wellness retreat or simply "fat camp" — however you put it, it's an alternative to the traditional vacation that's growing in popularity, says personal trainer Deb Leblanc, who runs a deluxe weight-loss camp on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia.
"People are combining vacations with the fact that they know they need to lose weight," says Leblanc, whose clients come to her to lose a minimum of 50 pounds, and in some cases, as much as double that. (According to Leblanc, who runs 30-, 60- and 90-day camps, the average weight loss is about 5 pounds a week.)
"I'm getting more and more inquiries about [the program]," Leblanc says. "They are asking a lot of questions and have obviously investigated other fit camps."
Leblanc, a personal trainer for nearly two decades, started her weight loss camp a few years ago, after her clients repeatedly requested daily training sessions.
"I started thinking there was a need for this type of one-on-one program," she explains.
