Its health and weight loss programs focus on the return to eating clean, fresh foods -- roasted lobster, grilled bison and penne pasta -- under a fabulous vaulted ceiling. Ten board-certified physicians work with guests in consultation and in state-of-the-art medical assessments; experts offer daily educational programs including cooking classes and smart grocery shopping classes. For physical activity, there are indoor/outdoor pools and ten daily fitness classes plus golf and tennis options.
