About Us and Them

Our intimate weight loss boot camp vacation program, with small groups and spectacular locations set us apart. 

 

You might be interested in knowing that Mountain Trek's founder was inspired by a visit to The Ashram in Los Angeles back in 1990, and that Mountain Trek's current owners are The Ashram in L.A. alumni. They liked the structured weight loss program they found there with its focus on hiking, and they built on that concept to create the successful weight loss and fitness program we offer today. 

Mountain Trek's dynamic hiking program, based in two extraordinary locations in British Columbia and Baja California, Mexico, offers a true back country experience with scenery you just cannot find near urban centers like Los Angeles, California. 

Like The Ashram in California, our program is intimate, but at Mountain Trek you also have your privacy. Rather than sharing, we offer individual rooms (unless you are a couple!) with your own en-suite bathroom.

At Mountain Trek, as at The Ashram in L.A., you will find fresh, healthy, calorie-controlled spa cuisine. But at Mountain Trek we want this new delicious way of eating to become your permanent way of eating. That's why we serve beef, fish, and poultry as well as vegetarian meals.

One other difference worth noting: Sessions at The Ashram in L.A. are for one week only. At Mountain Trek we have found that some guests want and need a longer time to de-stress, rejuvenate, and jump-start their new commitment to vitality and fitness.

And like the Biggest Loser at Fitness Ridge in Utah - a place you have no doubt heard about! - Mountain Trek offers a serious weight loss boot camp vacation program. But while Fitness Ridge focuses on gym-oriented activities with 1-2 hours of hiking, at Mountain Trek, our main fitness activity - our passion - is hiking. And by that we mean guided hiking that engages your entire body and burns calories. Unlike other Destination Spa Group weight loss boot camp vacation programs, we limit the number of guests to 16 providing you with an individualized and more personal experience.
