Health Retreat, Fat Camp, Weight Loss Retreat or Wellness Retreat - whatever you call it, this typically works through a live-in fitness program, that has a small group of people visiting a place, which is either like a deluxe wellness retreat with amenities such as a spa, gym and swimming pool or a private beach. Or it could be a standard homestay or something with a Workshop setup.

Most Wellness Retreats QLD has to offer, empathise on short-term Weight Loss in children and adults. This can be a great start to a fitness journey. With two weeks of swimming, strolling and fitness classes the boarders can lose a few pounds, which may work as a great motivation for them to carry on! But this is still a far cry from an overall health solution. Because often, the approach of these retreats are quite generalised and leaves a lot of gap for people needing specialised treatment. But that doesn’t change the fact that this is a great idea nonetheless, all you need to do is watch out for some of the wrong or misleading concepts to get the best return on your investment.

There Is No Such Thing As Short Term Weight Loss

And ...
... that’s the first “wrong concept” one could ever have - Weight Loss hardly works on a short term basis. Australia’s health retreats, despite their immense popularity, can sometimes set back as nothing more than a normal holiday outing and even sometimes underperform to customers’ expectations who really look forward to that drastic transformation in 3 weeks notice! For obese or even borderline over-weight people, it may take several months or even years to reach up to a stable weight. And usually, the first months are the most challenging, since they work too hard and the outcome is little. While losing a significant amount of weight is accomplished, to be able to carry on with the progress is often hard for the people after returning to their respective lives. So this turns up to be a highly expensive route without a permanent solution. And sometimes frustrating too.

Fat Camps For Overweight Children Can Come Up With Secret Lifestyle Challenges

Chi of Life, which is a highly renowned and successful fitness retreat in Queensland, points out that while Fat Camps seem pretty fun and welcoming for children, it often takes a toll on the child in more ways than what they are yet mature enough to handle. While coming back from the retreat, they feel better and renewed, it is often very hard to stick to the moderation diet when the friends are having pizza and ice cream. Food is not the only problem, sometimes this is also about a feeling of being different from others. The kind of regime a Fat Camp follows is sometimes so different from the normal lifestyle of children, or teenagers, that it loses the synthesis.
In its approach, it is important for such health retreats to deliver a body and mind holistic approach that doesn’t lose track of the needs and cravings of the person getting the treatment, true to their nature. That makes the most of the solution. Healthy food doesn’t have to be boring, and it has to have a realistic notion, especially when working with children.

Cost Plans - How Much Should You Pay For Packages And What Should It Include

In Australia, prices for health retreat packages may start from AUS$3500 and go up to AUS$70,000. It is best to get personalised packages based on your needs. As you know that the prices can be usually prohibitive, it is essential that you are able to get a complete solution to your investment with not only food and accommodations but also gets personalised guidance, highly qualified fitness professionals and adequate medical supervision to be available as and when needed.
