This is an amazing place, they truly helped me produce the results I was hoping for. I recommend it to anyone who needs to loose weight or turn their health around.
Situated on a lavish estate outside downtown Miami, the Pritikin health center is particularly well suited for those looking to slim down, control their diabetes, and manage other weight-related issues. The accommodations have all the creature comforts of a luxury hotel, which is good considering you’ll likely find yourself beat after a day packed with exercise classes, lectures, nutrition demonstrations, and spa visits. The one- and two-week programs are popular choices for those looking for an intense overhaul. Meanwhile, the Family Health Camp gets the whole family involved; they also offer nutrition-centric programs that focus on teaching healthy cooking skills.
We had a wonderful two weeks in April 2017 and learned enough to aspire to good longevity. Staff was great, lectures were great, doctors were great, and we even thought the food was great (FYI, no salt, no meat). My wife wants to live there. The beauty of the program is that we can eat until we are FULL at every meal and still keep our weight down. We like to hike, so there is no problem maintaining the exercise part of the program. It does require a lifestyle change to aspire to longer life, but we are enjoying our lives even more after our lifestyle change ... and plan to return to the Pritikin Center this fall. Highly recommended.
Great health and wellness resort! I spent two weeks at the Pritikin Center in Miami and lost 8lbs and reduced my cholesterol by 20%! The team there is so supportive and helpful. You learn to cook healthy meals, exercise properly and most importantly they help you establish good habits. It's not about dieting to reach some ideal weight - the Pritikin program is all about making a lifestyle change so you're healthy for the rest of your life.
Why isn't everyone on this program??? Weight loss, heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, cancer -- it doesn't matter what your health problem is. You'll lose weight and get back to a normal, healthy life quicker than you ever imagined, without drugs or surgery.
This place changed my life. Within 4 days, I was off blood pressure medication. I learned a ton about eating well and exercise. For people who want a healthy, life-transforming vacation, this is it. Backed by a bunch of studies published in top medical journals. The food takes a little getting used to -- no added salt, very little fat. But your palate changes quickly and all of sudden something as simple as a mango tastes out of this world. If you want to live another 40+ years -- and live well -- this is the place to go.
While they have a DEXA machine available, it costs $3,000 to use it.
