Not applicable Address & Contact Information 14 Valencia Road (within Shipyard Plantation resort) Hilton Head Island, SC 29928 800-292-2440 Website: www.hhhealth.com Email: getinspired@hhhealth.com Summary There are only a handful of these special residential facilities in the United States, with intensive weight loss programs staffed by a multidisciplinary team of professionals. These programs are for those who are serious about losing weight, can spend a substantial amount of time away from work, and can afford the high price tag. These are not "spas", although they may have some spa type amenities available. These programs are for people serious about making a lifestyle change, and who want a highly structured program. The Hilton Head facility, located in Shipyard Plantation (a resort on Hilton Head Island), is one of these top three facilities in the country. This is not a medical weight loss program. The environment is one of tranquility and natural beauty. The island roads are shaded with moss-draped oaks, magnolias, pines and palmetto trees. The 12 miles of white sand beach, biking trails, nature preserves and year-round subtropical climate offer a casual ambiance. The relaxed Lowcountry setting offers a secluded health and weight loss retreat that encourages wellness and self-reflection. Celebrating over 30 years of weight loss success, Hilton Head Health weight loss spa continues to provide each guest with the information and motivation they need to achieve a healthy lifestyle. At Hilton Head Health weight loss spa, they provide the tools for guests to make the choices to change their lives. The experience at Hilton Head Health encompasses three elements – Fitness, Nutrition, and S.E.L.F. (Stress Management, Empowerment, Longevity, and Fulfillment). Through unique and interactive group activities and one-on-one sessions with their Health Specialists, each spa guest will have the opportunity to explore their individual needs, weight loss, and health goals. The facility offers a 7-day Healthy Lifestyle program, 3-day Getaway, Day Passes and combination stays. How The Program Works Fitness – Experienced Fitness Specialists and Instructors give you the knowledge and practice to create an exercise plan that works with your lifestyle. With a wide variety of fitness options, guests have the opportunity to experience activities such as Beach Boot Camp, Broad Creek Kayaking, Pinckney Island Bike Ride and many more. Nutrition – At Hilton Head Health weight loss retreat, guests enjoy an individually tailored meal plan with many choices, delicious flavors, and realistic portions. Experienced Culinary Specialists help you create a meal plan you can live with. S.E.L.F. (Stress Management, Empowerment, Longevity, Fulfillment) - Hilton Head Health weight loss retreat incorporates the mind/body connection essential to self-awareness and a peaceful existence. Through group discussions facilitated by a SELF Specialist, each guest will explore the methods to achieve the change needed for successful weight loss. Specific guest goals include:
The program uses regular food, prepared by the facility’s chef, and they follow the revised 2005 USDA food pyramid guidelines. It is a restricted carbohydrate plan, but not as restrictive as the Atkins plan. This facility can accommodate about 50 people at any given time, and 1,300-1,400 clients per year come to Hilton Head, primarily for weight loss. About 60% of the customers are female, and there is a high share of repeat clients. Long-term maintenance support is offered, free of charge, via an 800 phone line or email communication with someone on the Health Staff. This free support is available for an unlimited time period. Fees This is not an inexpensive program. It costs $3,995 per week and a 2-week stay is recommended for most clients. This program does not accept health insurance, so it will be out-of-pocket. However, this program does qualify for tax deductions under the relaxed IRS rules. Specialty classes are offered during certain weeks of the year, including: cooking school, a fitness week, and mindful eating. Add $700 for them. A 10% discount may be offered during slow seasons, such as the summer. Comment BestDietForMe.com analysts feel that this is an excellent weight loss program where one has access to a wide range of professionals and support. Long-term maintenance services are also important and are available. On-site exercise and personal training are included and the counseling is one-to-one and top notch. There really isn’t much that isn’t provided—it’s very comprehensive, and covers psychological components of weight loss as well as family support. The drawbacks to such a program, in our opinion, are that it’s costly and it may be difficult for clients to get away from work (and family) for this long a period of time. In fact, personnel at this program report this being the biggest obstacle—the ability to get away from work for several weeks.
