The boom in fitness vacations has given health resorts a
big-bucks image: $3,000 a week or more to trim the fat and tone the
muscles. But you don't have to spend a million to feel like a
million.
At resorts and spas with enticing names like Evernew, Peak
Retreat and Break Away, your appetite for controlled exercise and
nutritious dining can be satisfied without spending a fortune.
Fitness resorts are everywhere, from a rock-cabin health retreat in
Oklahoma to a mountain hideaway in Colorado to a New England college
campus. These spas promise rejuvenation in exchange for challenging
workouts. They don't promise lavish brunches, turn-down service in
the evening or sumptuous accommodations.
