Movara Fitness Resort: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Incredible staff, delicious food, lots of opportunities for a variety of hikes (at all levels) and other activities. The outdoor pool is heated and open all-year. It's 25 yards and great for laps. The views here, in every direction, are priceless. Great for solo travellers too - everyone is very friendly and there's always someone to chat with at meals. Lots of return guests. Rooms are very comfortable and spacious.
Fantastic experience: 3 reasons to go to Movara: 1) The food is wonderful. It is nutrient dense and I was never hungry. It is the main reason people lose weight. 2) The hikes. This is why people come to south Utah. The red rocks are spectacular. 3) The staff. They know your capabilities more than you know yourself. They know when to encourage and when to tell you to reat. You will stay friends with them the rest of your life. As well as the fellow campus you meet.
Fantastic experience: A great place for a fitness and diet reset. Delicious food and wonderful hikes.
Fantastic experience: I just finished my first trip to Movara Fitness Resort and it has truly transformed my life… mind, body and spirit! I didn’t know I could feel this happy and relaxed after spending a week getting my butt kicked with complete strangers. The staff and fellow guests were so welcoming and supportive. By the end of my trip, they felt like family. The hiking was amazing too! I can’t wait to come back.
Fantastic experience: Show up, follow the plan, lose fat, build muscle, drink water, use the recovery amenities and boom. When you know, you know. The Movara way works and the follow up community keeps your success continuing after you go home.

Fantastic experience: This was my first time visiting Movara and I was blown away by absolutely everything. The staff know you by name and treat you like family. The food was exceptional and the hikes amazing. The educational aspect was great and the fitness classes were fun and varied each day so there was never a dull moment. Word of advice: book at least 2 weeks, and book the massages!

Fantastic experience: I can't speak for the rooms and other amenities. I go to the spa services for a brow wax, chin wax, and lash tint. Those services are exceptional and the front desk is always cheerful and courteous.
Fantastic experience: My second trip to Movara was, once again, exceptional. All of the components of the program collectively work! The nutrition is fulfilling. The fitness is on point. The hikes are amazing. Only here will the staff treat you like family. Highly recommend!

Love this! Movara IS pure magic.. so glad you were able to experience it! Come visit again! xo
Fantastic experience: Spending the week at Movara was absolutely amazing. Each of the daily guide-led hikes were varied and challenging, with obstacles that (safely) pushed me out of my comfort zone, allowing me to see a stronger, more confident version of my myself. The food was delicious at every meal, and while the portions seemed smaller than what we’re used to, the nutrition balance ensured we were never hungry. I can’t say enough about the guides, coaches, nutritionists, AND other guests. Everyone is so supportive! I will never forget my week here and am truly looking forward to my next visit.
So great to hear about your amazing week at Movara! We loved hearing that you enjoyed the meals, guides, coaches, guests, hikes and more. Cant wait for your next visit!
Fantastic experience: This is my second year here to reset and remind myself how to stay healthy and improve my habits
Fantastic experience: This is my “Happy” place! I first came to Movara back in 2003 and I have been a couple times since then. The hiking in the beautiful red rocks is awe inspiring. The food is delicious and very satisfying. The lectures are very informative. However, the best part of Movara is the Movara team. They are so supportive , it’s like you are part of their family. They really do care about you. Everyone is on their own journey to wellness and they will walk with you every step of the way while you are here. I have met some awesome people at Movara who have become my friends. All I can say is this is an amazing place.
We are so glad to hear that Movara is your "happy place!" We love our return guests and love that you are a part of the Movara family!! Can't wait to see you back again. :)
Fantastic experience: Had an incredible experience at Movara! The villas are new and pure luxury. The food was delicious, and I made great friends, but the best part of Movara is their program and their staff. The daily hikes were heaven and the classes and lectures offered were exactly what I needed. I was one of only 3 people who were there for the first time. Most of the guests were returning, some for the 10th time and there was a couple who have returned twice a year for 16 years. That says it all. Thank you Movara, I will be back!
Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad to hear you had an incredible experience at Movara and love that you're now a part of the Movara family! Can't wait to have you back again! xo
Fantastic experience: This was my first time at Movara and I LOVED it! The area is beautiful! Great staff, hikes, workouts, food! Supportive staff …made great friends! GO for yourself!
Thank you so much for your review! We are so grateful you enjoyed the staff, hikes and workouts, but mostly glad you came and made great friends you'll have forever! We love our Movara Community!
Fantastic experience: Movara exceeded all my expectations. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help with whatever I needed. The instructors kept me motivated to always give my best (I will miss Sharon so much!!), and the food is delicious! In addition to that, the classes provide a range of tools to continue applying after the stay. I believe there is always room for improvement, and in the case of Movara, it would be the quality of the rooms. However, this was something secondary for me, and I am completely satisfied with the results I had on my health. I want to come back, thank you for everything Movara!
We are so happy to hear that Movara exceeded all of your expectations! Glad to know you enjoyed the staff, the food and the classes! We hope you'll be back soon! Until then, keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Spend 8 weeks a year there in two week increments. They're my much needed family! So perfect I often ask myself "is this real?"
xoxo we love you!
Fantastic experience: This is the most special place I’ve ever been. I’ve been coming here for years and I hope to continue coming for more to come. The staff, the people, the mountains, the food, the hikes .. I can never get enough. Thank you Movara, this place is magical.
We love you Mati! Thank you for your example of hard work, dedication and a positive spirit.. keep up the good work and we'll see you back again soon! xo
Fantastic experience: This place is perfect, I came for a reset, it’s been over 20 years since I did something this selfish and it was worth every penny. I reached all of my goals and lost 11 pounds the first week, right now I am week 2 and it is fantastic!
Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear that you took the time to do something for yourself and reached your goals. Worth it! Hope we see you back again soon. :)
Fantastic experience: Really a wonderful place for a reset...... giving tools for a healthier life.

Fantastic experience: If you’ve ever thought about going to Movara, just do it! Went for a week and had an amazing experience. The staff is SO great. The food is good, the amenities are good and the program is really fantastic. You won’t be sorry you made the investment in yourself. I already put down money on a return visit.

Fantastic experience: MoVara is the most beautiful fitness camp where you can take amazing guided hikes every morning with really great people. The staff members are amazing and become like family . The food is delicious and it makes a huge difference when you get to eat Whole Foods for a week, with no processed chemicals. highly recommend!!!
Thank you for your review! We always love to hear that our guests had amazing experiences while here at Movara! Keep up the good work and we hope you'll come back soon :)
Fantastic experience: This place is top notch. Whether you are looking for a health reset, chance to clear your mind, or a cleanse this is the place for you. The staff get to know you and care about your progress and experience. I appreciate the added touches like cold towels after a hike and the customization efforts for meals and hikes. You won’t regret coming here!
Thank you so much for your review! We love hearing about our guests' experiences here at the resort. So happy you enjoyed the cold towels after hiking :) Hope you come back to see us again!
Fantastic experience: Just finished week 1 of 2 and could not be more pleased with this place, staff is all super fantastic- helpful, encouraging, accommodating and organized. The food is really spectacular and I am surprised at how satiated I am after each meal. I came here not really loving hiking and thought I would walk the roads instead but have found that I have enjoyed the hikes enough that I look forward to next weeks hikes. Overall I think it’s a fantastic program and recommend it for everyone no matter the place you are on in your fitness journey.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences while here at Movara! We are so happy to hear you caught the hiking bug! You're amazing... we can't wait for you to come back and see us again
Fantastic experience: I'm on my ninth (!!!) stay at Movara and I can't say enough about this wonderful place. It's the ideal place to come if you need a reset towards your fitness goals. The employees and guests are all extremely friendly and helpful. The calorie-controlled food is surprisingly tasty and satisfying.The hikes are extraordinary. The fitness program shows you what you're made of while you're here and the lectures give you tools to take your new-found knowledge home. The vast majority of guests have been here before which tells you something about the place. You won't regret coming here.
Thank you Laurissa for your kind and inspiring words about Movara. We could not be more happy to hear about your positive experiences while staying here. Keep up that optimistic outlook and we will look forward to your next visit!
Fantastic experience: My endocrinoligist loves it when I come to Movara. Between the nutrient dense food that is served and the variety of physical activities, I have seen my morning blood sugars drop from 110 - 115 down to 95 - 100. The lectures add that education portion to keep you motivated when you get home.
Thank you for your review! We always love to hear from our guests! Hope you are able to come back soon :)
Fantastic experience: Second trip to Movara and love it more each time. In addition to the wonderful staff, it’s a great place to jump start your fitness or health journey. Amazing hikes, great food, and wonderful workout classes! We will be coming back again & look forward to taking the lessens we’ve learned home to continue.
Thank you so much for your review! We love hearing about our guests' experiences here at the resort. Hope you come back to see us again!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing place with such amazing people. If you're looking for an excellent fitness resort in beautiful St. George, Utah - look no further. Great activities, food, amenities, lectures. and the greatest staff!@
Thank you for your review! We always love to hear that our guests had positive experiences while here at the resort! Hope you are able to come back soon :)
Fantastic experience: This fitness resort gives good quality at a reasonable price. I stayed for 2 weeks. I lost quite a bit of weight, and got a lot stronger. The staff, as other reviews have mentioned, is phenomenal- always encouraging, never judging and quick to offer a modification if you have an injury. Things a guest should know: Bring at least 2 pairs of workout shoes so feet are always dry. Allot extra $ for the massages- they are amazing. Especially fascia release. If you have ever needed a support sleeve or brace, bring it- 6 hours of exercise really strained my old meniscus tear. Bring freezer gel packs if you like to ice sore spots- easier than wet bags of ice. They have a weak coffee or herbal tea and only unflavored almond milk and Truvia. Consider bringing a lidded mug and maybe better coffee. I like collagen creamer. The rooms have VERY thin walls. Ear plugs or a sleep headband that Bluetooth connects to sleep sounds on your phone is very helpful. You will return home happy and healthier.
We are so happy to hear about your amazing weeks at Movara! Also glad to know that you loved the staff! Keep up the good work and we hope to see you back again soon!!
Fantastic experience: Came out for hike week and had a blast! Every hike was a fun challenge with gorgeous views and great people. Even though my stay was only a week, I learned a lot about nutrition, fitness, and myself. The food is delicious, the classes give a good workout and are tailored to fit many levels of fitness, and you meet amazing people here (both staff and other guests) who push you to do your best while having fun.
We are so happy to hear about your amazing time at Movara! Also glad to know that you loved hike week! Keep up the good work and we hope to see you back again soon!!
Fantastic experience: Just a genuine 10 out of 10 experience. They have really mastered the way to facilitate an "all levels" Fitness Resort. It is inclusive of ALL, and the group we had during my weeks was so diverse- all ages, fitness levels, goals, backgrounds, and genders. But since we were all here to get better in some way, and I think that underlying current of self improvement creates an environment that's just comfortable and accepting. I was in Group 7 (Advanced) and the hikes really pushed me. If you are already physically fit, I promise you will still get a tough and fulfilling work-out at Movara. They always have a "more challenging" option for those up for it! But, with that being said, there are 6 other buses so all fitness levels can have an appropriate hike experience. The methodology they've created with the bus system allows everyone to be challenged without being discouraged, and it's likely a huge reason for their success. A few extra bits- the massage therapists were wonderful, the resort itself is gorgeous and clean, the meals were delicious, and the entire staff was above and beyond. Every employee, whether in food service, front desk, hiking guide, or trainer, was kind, welcoming, and simply excellent. My second week at Movara (I stayed for two weeks- HIGHLY recommend this) over half the guests were return visitors. That speaks loudly of the experience guests have when they come to Movara Fitness Resort. Thank you for an incredible two weeks, Movara!
Thank you so much Anna for sharing your experiences while here at Movara! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the hiking, meals and staff! You're amazing... we can't wait for you to come back and see us again:)

Fantastic experience: I have been going off and on to Movara for going on 15 years now. I love the place as a safe place to get focussed on health and fitness. A very rounded program starting with some wonderful hiking an afternoon fitness and group dinners with a lot of similar folks. I can’t say enough good things about it
Thank you for your review! We are always thrilled to see our returning guests.. you are what makes our little community special! Can't wait to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great place to reset.
Thanks for your review!
Positive experience: Updating my review - Movara is a fantastic location for a hardcore fitness vacation. They AREN'T a qualified weight loss spa and I messed up my body by pushing myself too hard and not eating enough. I had lost over 30 lbs and kept it off for a few years thanks to a traditional weight loss spa - Structure House in North Carolina. They were very focused on pulling in clinical aspects of weight loss - like a blood test and working with a nurse as well as working with a dietitian and setting up a food plan based on my needs. I worked hard to take the weight off and went to Movara to push through a plateau and lose more weight. Movara's philosophy is one size fits all. Hardcore working out and calorie restriction. Given my needs, this threw my body into a tailspin and I've gained nearly all the weight I lost until I was able to find a dr and dietitian to help me get things under control. They confirmed that Movara's protocols hurt my body. So if you go there, go in knowing what you need - don't expect them to be the experts. From a physical point, I did know my limitations since I was working with a PT who gave me Strick limits. Movara was FANTASTIC about respecting these limits and when I got home, my PT said I was the strongest she and seen and that I should keep up what I was doing. --------------------------------------------------------------- Original review The staff is amazing. I have a few physical limitations and Slade, the hiking guide manager went out of his way to make sure that I was able to go on hikes that were challenging and safe given my abilities. Cap, Steph and all of the hiking guides were fantastic. The lectures are top notch. In particular, I loved all of Angel's classes which were more mind, body spirit, Koby's class on nutrients and how they impact our health and Michelle's weight loss class. The Lomi Lomi and facia massages were AMAZING! I wish I lived closer so I could get treatments every week. There are daily two + hour hikes and then 1.5 hours of cardio/strength. I would normally do a 45-minute sping class at home and think that was all I could do for the day. It was empowering proving to myself that I could do so much more. The owner, Michelle and her son Bryson are very involved in the everyday operations. They even walk around during the meals to check in on everyone and see how their stays are going. The food is good. I'm surprised I was able to feel full eating only 1,200 calories a day. I've lost around 10 lbs. in the first two weeks, I hit a pleatau after the first two weeks and didn't lose anything the third week. Movara is perfect for any very active person who's looking to get a reset or just push themselves physically. If you're looking for a more traditional weight loss spa there are better places. I didn't really leave with the tools I needed to continue my weight loss. Luckily I had gone to another weight loss spa where I learned the dynamics of exactly what I should be eating and how to track and put systems in place. I would recommend that if you go to Movara with sustained weight loss in mind you have some sort of food diary and guidance as to the number of calories and macronutrients you should be eating so that when you go home if weight loss is your goal, you can track calories without the controlled environment of the spa.
Thank you so much for your amazing review. We couldn't be happier to hear about your experience with us! From the staff, hikes, spa, food, classes.. we are grateful your time here was a positive one! We wish you the best and hope you'll come back and see us again!
Fantastic experience: The morning hikes are spectacular! The guide fantastic! Hiking for all levels. Go figure delicious meals at 1200 calories and no you won’t feel hungry. Interesting lectures on nutrition exercise and emotions. The staff treat you like a queen and one becomes part of their family! The exercise rooms and pool dining are top notch! People keep coming back as I learned and so I will too! It’s magical at Movara
Thank you for your positive review! We love hearing that our guests loved the hiking, food, lectures and classes! Keep up the good work and come visit us again soon!!
Fantastic experience: Great new spot
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for the true fitness experience Novara has got to be one of the best out there. The educational components as well as the physical parts of it make it so that you can't help but to succeed while you're here. Helping to intellectualize the diet and exercise process makes it so that it should be repeatable once you go home and applicable to a real lifestyle change. The setting is beautiful and the availability of the hiking in the outdoor activities is unlimited.
We are so glad to hear that you had an amazing experience with us at Movara! Keep up the good work and be sure to come back and visit us again soon!

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your experience with the Movara family!! Keep working hard and thank you for being an inspiration! Hope to see you back soon :)
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Movara Fitness Resort. The instructors are awesome and very knowledgeable in the field of health. Everyone there was easy to talk to and very personable. I learned a lot about myself and what I can actually do, if I keep a positive attitude. All you need is positivity, motivation, dedication and determination . I LOVED IT! ♥️
We always love hearing that our guests had an amazing experience while staying at Movara! So happy you were able to come! Keep up the good work as you continue on your wellness journey... we hope to see you again!!
Fantastic experience: Movara is a great place for meeting new people and gaining new experiences. 2nd time out and I love it.
We are glad to hear you had another great experience at Movara! Hope to see you back at the resort again soon!
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to Movara, and I will definitely be returning! I just completed the June 2022 Hike Week program. I was looking for a program that would help me “re-set” my exercise/nutrition habits to pre-COVID levels. Movara helped me to understand that my goals are realistic and definitely achievable - supportive staff, amazing hikes, wide variety of lectures/exercise classes and wonderful food choices. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fitness/wellness resort. I plan to return even when I don’t need an actual re-set because the Movara family and experience is truly one of a kind!!
We are so happy to hear about your amazing week at Movara during hike week! Also glad to know that you learned more about your goals and how to achieve them! We hope to see you back again soon!!
Fantastic experience: Movara is for everyone! Do not let your age, gender, or fitness level (from ‘none’ to fast run) hold you back if you are searching for a vacation that leaves you with energy instead of draining you. I have participated in the program several times and witnessed people 400lbs and people 110lbs get exactly what THEY need from their time at Movara. If you really need to make changes in your diet and activity level, I recommend going at minimum 2 weeks if possible (3-4 is best for that but time off and/or finances are real). With at least two weeks, you get through the first week of aches and adjusting to the food intake. You start seeing real physical results beginning that second week. If you’re fairly fit but feel out of control in your life, it’s for you too! The lectures are outstanding and help people realize all/any areas they may be holding themselves back. The morning hikes give you time for reflection. The cleaning eating (and no alcohol) clear up your mind. Needless to say…highly recommended!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your recommendations and experiences while here at Movara! You are amazing and we can't wait for you to come back and see us again.
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to Movara. This has been an amazing two weeks ! The program is wonderful. The staff are very passionate and the customer service is outstanding! I found the food very delicious and flavorful especially the soups . It’s a very supportive and nonjudgmental space. Thank you Movara !
We are so glad to know you enjoyed your experience at Movara!! Keep working hard and thank you for being an inspiration! Hope to see you back soon :)
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience. Great hikes, wonderful guides. Exhilarating fitness classes, awesome meals! Lectures are unbelievable. All around amazing experience.
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your Movara experience! Nothing beats the hikes, classes or meals! Good luck to you on your wellness journey at home :)
Fantastic experience: Movara is so much more than a fitness resort. While I came here initially to improve my physical health, being here for just a week also did so much for my mental health. From the delicious food to the world class hiking, the amazing staff and interesting lectures, time spent at Movara is good for the soul. Just go!!!
Thank you so much for your review! We love hearing about our guests' experiences here at the resort. So glad you were able to revitalize your physical AND mental health! :) Hope you come back to see us again!
Fantastic experience: Spent a week there in 2009, returned in 2016 and again in 2022. This is sooo much more than a fat camp for adults. They focus on mind, body and soul. Highly recommend!!
We are SO glad you keep coming back! Stay amazing and we'll be looking forward to your next trip back :)
Fantastic experience: Movara is more than hiking, working out and eating healthy…it is a FAMILY. This is my second time here and both times I stayed a month. Movara has licensed psychologists, nutritionists, wellness coaches that talk about anything from “myths surrounding exercise” to “Addiction vs Connection.” Their are even cooking demonstrations because the food here is delicious! There is a spa/salon and a holistic chiropractor(this man has a gift) all of these are at an additional cost. The staff from the front of the house to the back of the house of super friendly. The trainers and hiking guides are fantastic. The trainers will always provide modifications on exercises if your coming in with an injury. In regards to the hiking you go at your own pace because there will always be a hiking guide with you and if you need to turn back, the hiking guide will go with you. This program isn’t about losing as much weight as you possibly can, it’s about changing your mindset about the scale. Muscle weighs more than fat, so they are looking to increase your lean body mass. You will see a huge difference in how your clothes fit and who cares what that number says on the scale. There are also private hikes, personal training, VO2/RMR Testing and one-on-one life coaching that you can sign up for an additional fee. It is absolutely worth it to try some of things I mentioned. However, If you just want to come and hike, exercise and go to the classes that is completely up to you. This is a judgment free zone. We have people that start the program with canes and by the end of their journey here, they have gained their strength back to walk without the cane! If you’re unsure about it, google Movara Fitness Resort. Coming here will be the best life decision you ever made for yourself!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your positive experiences while here at Movara! You are amazing and we can't wait for you to come back and see us again.
Fantastic experience: Movara is in an exceptionally beautiful place with incredible hiking. The staff will find the hikes that will work for any level of fitness. The challenge to do a bit more than you think you can is always gentle. You will continually do more than you ever thought possible. But the food is really unbelievably delicious and filling and so nutritious that in 3 or four days my aches and pains were vanishing and I had more energy than I have felt in the last 30 years. My Dr.'s told me I had fibromyalgia and myofasial pain syndrome and chronic fatigue. They gave me many pills but what I really needed was nutritious food and exercise AND some essential education regarding my mind-heart-body-spirit connection. The staff and facilities are top notch. Mind-blowing lectures on nutrition, mental health, pharmaceuticals, and fitness will change your way of living. They never try to force-sell you any additional products, either.....the knowledge you gain is yours forever. I leave here with a new optimistic outlook for my future. There is so much more I could say about this wonderful place, but just come and fall in love with Movara if you want to improve you life.
Thank you Judi for your kind and inspiring words about Movara. We could not be more happy to hear about your positive experiences while staying here. Keep up that optimistic outlook and we will look forward to your next visit!
Fantastic experience: This is the perfect place to learn about and adopt wellness. Movara Fitness Resort is transformational. The owner and staff are very much entuned to detail. They make you feel like a person and are very attentive to your needs, frustrations, and accomplishments. You won't be disappointed in the location, the program, the results, and the MovaraHome program. Sign up today!!! I was a Movara guest in Feb 2022 and signed up for the MovaraHome program.
We are so glad to know you enjoyed your experience at Movara and are continuing your wellness journey at home!! Keep working hard and thank you for being an inspiration! Hope to see you back soon :)
Fantastic experience: I first visited Movara Fitness Resort in 2012. At that time, I weighed 105 pounds more than I do today, smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, took 8 different medications, and could barely walk around the block. I honestly struggled my first week but it lit a fire in me - I fell in love with hiking and embraced living a fit life using everything I learned during my three separate visits over a four year time frame. I went on to lose 105 pounds, gave up smoking, came off ALL medications, and hike 3-5 miles 5-6 times a week. I had a physical just a couple of weeks ago and received a clean bill of health, weighing less, and being more fit than I've ever been, as I approach a milestone birthday in June! I just finished my 4th week at Movara and I'm truly surprised by the statistical body changes which I was not expecting - I lost 6 pounds and 4% body fat in just one week while I ate incredible meals! It often seemed as if I was eating more at the resort than I regularly do at home! Truly, the accomplishment I am most proud of, this girl who could barely walk around the block her first time, was part of the Advanced hiking group and we scaled the most glorious mountains as we hiked Southern Utah with Movara's incredible hiking guides. I never dreamed this was possible! One of the most amazing things about Movara Fitness Resort is the very supportive, non-judgemental staff comprised of best-in-class hiking guides, trainers, wellness experts, Spa, and chefs/Kitchen staff as well as incredible Front Desk support staff. You meet incredible like minded people at the resort who become life long friends. In fact, a group of us have already pre-registered to return together for another hike week! Give yourself the gift of wellness by visiting this magical place. You won't regret it!
We couldn't be happier to hear about your experiences at Movara and the changes you were able to make! So happy for you and wish you the best as you continue your wellness journey at home. Can't wait to see you back here soon!
Negative experience: Extremely poor experience I would not let my dog go here. The staff forces you to go on hikes that are beyond your level of expertise. After one week of being in the program I had to call it quits. You pay over $2800 per week to get quantities of food that are meant for infants to eat. They teach you how to eat like you're starving. They bring in over $120k per week and they give you meager food. Do not waste your time or your money on this place. The staff treat you like you're in a cult and if you don't do what they say they said they'd alter your exercise another lie. Don't waste your money or your time.
Thank you Colby for your brief employment with Movara. We wish you well in your future job endeavors.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing week at Movara! The staff & instructors are 1st class and you'll be amazed at how much you will learn about nutrition, exercise and yourself. People of all ages and sizes come to Movara, so don't worry that you won't fit in. The accomodations, meals and hikes are amazing. You won't regret this decision. Bring your workout clothes, some hiking shoes and a positive attitude and get your life back on track! I'm looking forward to another visit someday soon!
We are so happy to hear about your amazing week at Movara! Also glad to know that you learned more about nutrition, exercise and most importantly, yourself! We hope to see you back again soon!!
Fantastic experience: This was my first stay at Movara and it was magical! I shed several pounds and inches from my body. I learned about nutrition. I was taught about my mental health.

Fantastic experience: Best place for learning new healthy skills to take home with you! I would suggest using Uber and Lyft in this town ,they have a lot of them and it’s the best for leaving and going when you want!oh plus they are fast clean and very helpful! 5 stars for Uber too!
Thank you for your review! We are always thrilled to hear from guests and know that their experience with us was a positive one:) Come back and visit soon!
Fantastic experience: This was my second visit to Movara and I really enjoyed it. This time I knew what to expect, and Movara didn’t disappoint. By far, the morning hikes are the best aspect of the program. An amazing workout that doesn’t feel like a workout, with excellent hiking guides. The food is great, and I really felt like they significantly improved their lectures from the first time I visited in 2019. You can’t beat the price for an all inclusive program. Lord of returning guests, probably 70% of guests any given week have been to Movara before, and there is a reason. The staff is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, the program is good and so is the food.
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your second visit! Thank you for your review.. we hope you'll be back for a third visit in the future!
Fantastic experience: Best experience of my life~physically, mentally and emotionally.
