This Four-Day Wellness Retreat Can Bring You Years Of Better Health
15.12.2023 - 12:27 / forbes.com
Whether you want to lose weight, live longer, get in better shape, enjoy your later years more or simply feel like you deserve some self-care, investing just four days in your mind and body can pay real dividends–if you pick the right four days.
New Year’s is coming fast, and with it the inevitable “Resolutions,” many of which will be to eat better, work out more, and generally be healthier. Unfortunately, many of these efforts will last weeks, if not less. That’s because despite the best intentions, most people do not know how to actually go about making changes, and even small changes can be really important.
This is why I was so impressed with the Retreat program at the Center for Health & Wellbeing at the Four Seasons Westlake Village resort in Los Angeles.
I am very interested in fitness, longevity, athletic performance and eating well, and I have done a few different destination immersion fitness retreats. But all the ones I have tried–and most of the ones out there–are primarily bootcamps. The focus is typically weight loss, and to that end, the programs usually feature a lot of exercise and restricted food. These can be very beneficial, and you almost certainly will lose several pounds, get in great workouts, and learn a little more about exercise. But in many ways, they are just a healthy weeklong escape, followed by a return to real life, often with little lasting benefit. They are best suited for those trying to get a jumpstart, because if you want to lose a significant amount of weight and are disappointed by the slow nature of the process (a very common feeling), this can be the emotional kickstart and tangible result needed to pursue it further. Or if you are looking to start a serious exercise routine, it can have the similar impetus effect of starting to ingrain a new routine.
But for many people, fitness escapes are over the minute they end, and in sharp contrast to this, I found the Center For Health & Wellbeing’s approach to be much more long-lasting, even potentially life changing, because it is focused on education and new habits, not trying to solve a lifelong problem in four days and send home a new you. Instead, they send home a you much more capable of becoming a new you. That being said, they also send home a you that proibably weighs a couple of pounds of less.
They also have a realistic attitude, and understand that most guests are not going to completely overhaul their lives based on what they experience here. They promote incremental changes, making better decisions, eating a little healthier, exercising a little more, incorporating changes that can actually last and stand the test of time, but also changes that lend themselves to more changes. Think of it as the first

Hotel Gyms Are Getting Better and Better
In the last few years, the health-meets-travel trend has reached new heights, in no small part thanks to gyms themselves. In 2019 the luxury fitness-club empire Equinox opened its first hotel in New York City. Now, everyone's taking their exercise routines with them wherever they go. “Before the pandemic, my clientele was local,” says Luke Goulden, a London-based personal trainer who now also coaches clients virtually. “They don't want to break routines when they're traveling for work or pleasure.” The good news: Hotels are paying attention.

Who Are You Going To Call When Your Private Jet Breaks?
Adam Kidan was aboard his Gulfstream private jet in 2021, headed from Los Angeles to the East Coast, when the pilot told him they needed to land in Las Vegas due to a maintenance issue. It took four days, dozens of phone calls and a couple of favors before he could find somebody to come fix his airplane. An entrepreneur who built his fortune helping others find workforce solutions, from warehouses to light manufacturing, he saw an opportunity. Beyond the manufacturers of private jets, he says there were no national networks of repair shops that could come out and fix your airplane if you have an AOG, industry speak for aircraft on the ground away from its base, or what we call a mechanical.
