Movara Fitness Resort

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: It is always a good place for me

Fantastic experience: The people are great. Hiking is awesome!!

Fantastic experience: I try to go to Movara at least once a year. The hiking is fabulous! I’ve enjoyed meeting new guests each trip and seeing guests I’ve met during previous stays.This visit I had the most wonderful and relaxing facial with Melissa.Hiking, Bootcamp, motivation and delicious meals. Great place.

Fantastic experience: Had a facial with Melissa, and I'm sad to say I now have a new addiction! It was wonderful, so relaxing. Skin felt amazing afterward. Melissa was knowledgeable and kind. Last facial I had in another location just tried to sell me products. This was a great experience.

Fantastic experience: Movara Fitness Resort is a very very special amazing experience! It’s a fitness/ health resort but it’s so much more than that.

Your day is filled with classes of all kinds, lectures 3 incredibly good nutrient dense low calorie gourmet meal. The staff, trainers and every employee goes the extra mile to make your stay exactly what you want! The facility is simple clean but very well equipped with multiple gyms an incredible pool and in a beautiful setting!I have been for 1 week , 2 weeks and as long as 3! All I can say is book your trip!

Fantastic experience: I have spent the last 2 weeks at Movara and words can’t express how amazing this place is. If you want to change your life both mentally and physically you must come visit! The hikes are amazing but more importantly the staff from hiking guides to trainers to the office staff and kitchen staff everyone is top notch. I felt like I learned more about my body here than ever before. Movara truly prepares you to enter a doable and sustainable health journey for life! I will definitely return!

Positive experience: This is my second trip to Movara. It's such a wonderful experience. A great mental and physical reset. I love the lecture, hikes, good and guidance. I came once in April and once in June. I would recommend coming earlier in the year.

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!

Fantastic experience: This was my second trip to Movara, and once again I had a magical experience. Everything is top notch and allows one to discover their authentic self. Well done, Movara, well done!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great for body and mind reset

Fantastic experience: I have been to Movara over a dozen times and I love the friendly staff, hiking, lectures, workouts, and the food! I highly recommend coming here for a reset or just for fun!

Fantastic experience: Movara is a great health and wellness resort to use as a reset for any personal reason. I have been to the resort twice for a total of 12 weeks. Every time I am remind of the amazing guest and staff. It is also very therapeutic hiking in beautiful snow canyon.

Fantastic experience: Movara is an amazing experience. I have been coming for several years and it is fantastic every time. Wonderful hiking, food, and guests. The staff is very helpful and caring.

Fantastic experience: This place is magical! Michelle and her staff are so welcoming. They truly get to know you personally. It doesn’t matter what level you are at, this place has something to help implement healthy habits into your life. A week of self care is just what I needed! Can’t wait to come back again!

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic experience continuing my wellness journey. The mental clarity and physical motivation I took from the two week stay will propel me to achieve a new pinnacle.

Fantastic experience: I can’t speak highly enough about Movara! This is my second time attending Movara and I couldn’t be happier. The food is amazing! The staff is wonderful - helpful, encouraging and accepting. They are attuned to their guests, making sure each person gets what they need. The fitness staff challenges you without it feeling militant or torturous - they make exercise fun. The hiking is fantastic! There are hikes for people at every fitness level. And the spa is great! I will be coming back again. Do not hesitate to make this investment in your health, peace and well-being.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been here three times and I’ll definitely be back. The resort facilities are amazing . Nice rooms, excellent exercise facilities, and the guided hikes are world class. We are Improving our health, loving our fitness gains, and LOOOOOVING all the healthy food! Best investment in health I’ve ever made…

Fantastic experience: This is magical! Great food, great people, amazing scenery and environment and amazing spa services! A space where you can focus on you!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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?"

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.

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!

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: The staff are accommodating and professional. They really care about you and want you to reach your goals. Caring and beautiful place.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Movara for a reset, the phenomenal hikes and classes, and the fantastic staff! Whether one week or 5 they make Movara feel like home!

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!@

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Awesome! Great location, great staff and a highly effective program.

Fantastic experience: A great location to fuel & rejuvenate yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Come as a stranger; leave w/ many friends and positive vibes.

Fantastic experience: The hikes are outstanding. The food delicious. I have been coming for 20 years and would come almost every year to get into shape and set goals.

Fantastic experience: Movara has been such a great experience! I didn't know what my body was capable of! The staff is amazing, the accommodations are fantastic, and the food is delicious! Your body and mind will thank you for spending time at Movara!

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

Fantastic experience: Great place to reset.

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.

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

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.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience... accommodations are top notch! Caring and personable staff. And an all around welcoming atmosphere filled with passion, vision, and mountains of fitness motivation. It never stops!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. I learned so much about nutrition and my eating habits. Great workouts and beautiful hikes. This was just what I needed—a reset! Also met some wonderful people❤️

Fantastic experience: Movara is an amazing place to reclaim your Why and How. You work the program at your pace. But the amazing staff and speakers really guide you and help you to make progress. Set in a gorgeous location that can really help inspire you. Their aim is to help you be the best you!

Fantastic experience: This place is magical. Between the like-minded people you meet and the exceptional staff it is an awesome experience. You will be amaze at what your body can do!!

Fantastic experience: My stay was amazing. Hikes are first class and for all levels. They are very smart about making sure you are in the proper level for you abilities. The food is great, the rooms are nice and clean. The staff is awesome. If you are thinking about booking just do it you wont regret it. Take the first step to better health. Without it most of the other stuff does not matter.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely amazing experience. One week... 6 Five Mile hikes 12 nutrition lectures/therapy sessions 10 cardio bootcamps 5 stretch/ yoga classes 35 new friends who believed in me even when I wanted to quit. It's been pretty intense! 1200 calories a day chef made meals. No coffee No sugar No coctails!

Fantastic experience: Movara is incredible. The hikes have beautiful scenery and are an incredible way to initiate a reset. The staff is amazing; the Hiking guides, trainers, management and kitchen staff all become part of your extended family. If you have a chance to experience Movara do not hesitate.

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! ♥️

Fantastic experience: Movara is a great place for meeting new people and gaining new experiences. 2nd time out and I love it.

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!!

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!

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 !

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience. Great hikes, wonderful guides. Exhilarating fitness classes, awesome meals! Lectures are unbelievable. All around amazing experience.

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!!!

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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. There's a great spa there! I highly recommend Movara to anyone needing to find themselves and reset their mind and body.

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: This is great place for getting your fitness routine on track.hikes are amazing. All people at movara are so helpful. Food is healthy and delicious. I lost few pounds in week and gain muscle mass. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: This is the 3rd time I’ve been here and I always love it. I wish I could stay longer than a week. I plan to come back next year. It’s a total body and mind reset and the staff are awesome. The food is amazing too and don’t forget to book a massage or three in advance!

Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd visit over several years. The experience never disappoints. I was blessed to share the experience with family members. The hikes are amazing and vary each day. The classes are challenging. The staff is supportive and helps you realize you are capable of more than you think. The meals are balanced to bring out the best in you. This was a fantastic reset.

Fantastic experience: The staff here is the "secret sauce". This program is incredible. I lost 5.5 lbs in 10 days BUT, more importantly, I gained muscle mass. Meals are delicious and filling. Workouts are FUN! I'll be back!

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!

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.
