Check out the Press that Mountain Trek has been receiving in Magazines, Websites and in the News.
Mountain Trek was named one of five Wellness Resorts that will Bring you Bliss by Kirsten Klahn on the Wall St. Cheat Sheet.
Picture yourself waking up at this resort in Ainsworth Hot Springs, British Columbia, and participating in an early morning yoga class, hiking, a detox and nutrition seminar, an evening workout class, and a relaxing spa treatment before bed.
Mountain Trek was recently featured on Lifescript.com – an online health and wellness publication dedicated to providing women education and information on healthy living.
Chief medical officer of Lifescript.com Dr. Edward Geehr visited Mountain Trek and shares his experience as well as 16 Metabolism Boosters in this recent article.
Dr. Geehrs recalls:
“It was fascinating… The program demanded a lot of effort and commitment, but my before-and-after body analysis demonstrates the results… I lost 4% of total body fat (the key measurement at Mountain Trek), 3 inches off my waist and reduced my resting blood pressure and heart rate.”
Mountain Trek was featured on USA Today as one of the World’s Best Wellness Resorts along side our friends at Rancho La Puerta and ten other world class resorts.
“… these 12 resorts offer unique and rejuvenating experiences for everyone from the dedicated, meditative yogi to the most active of outdoor adventurers.”

Mountain Trek was recently featured on xoJane.com – a sassy New York based online publication written for women by women.
Writer and Mountain Trek guest Margarita, shares her personal experience of leaving NYC for the mountain ranges of British Columbia.
“There was an introductory lecture, which included words like “tonic,,” “fat flush” “hydro therapy,” and, everybody’s favorite, “toxins.” We concluded the evening with some goat’s whey and a probiotic. I set off for my room, wondering what I got myself into.”

Writer Leigh Doyle interviewed regular Mountain Trek alumni Jean Aldridge for an article called “Exercise Escape” that appeared in this summer’s issue of Review magazine. The story was all about how Jean visits Mountain Trek to and discussed why she returns every six months: “It’s like adult day camp with planned activities and meals ready for you,” she’s quoted as saying.
The article goes on to say, “A week-long fitness vacation can kick-start motivated individuals into making serious changes by showing them how regular exercise, proper eating and dedicated de-stress time can do the body good.”

Recently professional photographer and public speaker Carla Kimball visited Mountain Trek and documented a few of her days at our spa resort in beautiful southern British Columbia.
Carla posted the photos on her web site www.revealedpresence.com including images such as the one shown here of our yoga studio, hiking packs lined up along the wall awaiting the day’s adventures, and the beautiful Kootenay lake with the Selkirk mountains in the background.
According to Carla (who is also a public speaking presence coach) the intention of her blog “is to share an image of revealed presence each day.”
We thank Carla for revealing the presence in our retreat.
Food writer and journalist Amy Rosen just visited Mountain Trek and in her recent “Dish” column in the National Post she says, “I’m freshly back from a trip out west to a detox/hiking/fitness/bootcamp called Mountain Trek (located in the beautiful Selkirk and Purcell Mountain Ranges in the Rockies, perched above a winding 100 km lake). I’ve returned with renewed vigour in my step, a few off the rump, and a desire to eat more veggies. So, for the next few Dish columns, you’ll be eating my creative, seasonal vegetable recipes right along with me.”

Toronto-based freelance writer Vawn Himmelsbach visited Mountain Trek Fitness Retreat and Health Resort this June and her story about rebooting her metabolism appeared last week in Metro, a publication that’s distributed in city centres around North America.
Mountain Trek is “a hiking-focused fitness retreat and health spa in the Selkirk and Purcell ranges of B.C.’s Rocky Mountains, set in a luxury alpine lodge overlooking Kootenay Lake. Once you get through the caffeine withdrawal, you might find it’s one of the best vacations you’ve ever taken,” writes the self-described coffee aficionado.
Vawn goes on to describe her experience at Mountain Trek as a “week in a serene, scenic setting, with a high guide-to-participant ratio to provide a personal and supportive environment.”
