8 Reasons To Go On A Fitness Vacation
/One of the reasons I created Vita Vie Retreat, over 12 years ago, was so that I could build an environment where people could truly focus on themselves. I had been doing personal training and nutrition coaching for about 6 years and one of my biggest complaints was that my clients couldn’t focus on themselves. We would be in the middle of a training session and a client would reach to answer a phone call or a text (and way back in the day, it was a pager). It just seemed like we were treading water rather than swimming through the waves.
So one day I was on a plane and I read an article about a big health spa, a place to escape and get away and get fit and healthy. And while this appealed to me, I also wanted to create an environment where I would still work with clients rather than just owning an operation and shuffling people in and out. Training and coaching are my passion and actually participating in that work is really important to me. So, I decided to create a small version of the health spa so I could accomplish my goals – to form a fitness vacation where people could get away and focus on themselves as well as be able to do the coaching. And here we are in 2018 with Vita Vie Retreat!

Wellness isn't something that starts and stops, and it's so much more than what you eat or how you move your body. It's woven into the way you live every day: the routines you create, the moments you make time for, the way you care for yourself, and the things that bring you joy.
Sometimes, we get so caught up in our schedules, responsibilities, and to-do lists that we forget to enjoy the little things. We think of wellness as another task to accomplish instead of recognizing that it can be part of the experience of everyday life.
That's where the idea of romanticizing your routines comes in. It's about being more intentional with the little moments, finding ways to make ordinary activities feel special, and creating habits that support your well-being while adding more enjoyment to your day.
