Lose Weight. Transform Your Life. Be The Best You.

Give yourself a jump start on a healthier lifestyle and start living your best life right now.

Your weight is creeping up and keeps getting more difficult to control. No matter how hard you scold yourself, you struggle with committing to regular exercise and healthy eating habits.

Deep down, you feel guilty for letting it get to this point. You know what you should be doing to live a healthy and active life, yet you don’t have the energy or willpower to actually implement those changes. Even when you do manage to get started, you can’t seem to commit long-term.

You know you need to make a lifestyle change, and you will - one day.

Except life is already too full. You’re so busy taking care of the people and things around you that you don’t actually remember how to make yourself a priority anymore. You know you are supposed to ‘put your own oxygen mask on first’, but understanding and doing are two very different things.

You can only imagine how life would be different if…

You woke up feeling upbeat, with energy that lasted through the day

Your clothes fit better, your skin looked healthier and your mind felt clearer

You found time for physical exercise you actually enjoyed that energized rather than drained you

You understood and were in control of your food habits instead of them controlling you

You felt the confidence to actively live your life, rather than staying on autopilot for another year

8 DAYS & 7 NIGHTS THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

Be The Best You is more than a weight loss program. It’s an immersive wellness experience designed to teach you the physical, emotional, and mental tools to live your best life - starting with where you are right now.

Working closely with our team of wellness professionals, this 8-day / 7-night group wellness retreat integrates all the components of a healthy lifestyle - nutrition, cooking, physical activity, rest and relaxation.

The natural beauty of the Okanagan and the luxurious atmosphere of our spa resort provide the perfect setting to focus on learning the concepts, developing the skills, and practicing the habits and routines of a healthier lifestyle.

Your health won’t correct itself. There is no better time to get started than right now.

MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO CHANGE WITH THIS
ALL-INCLUSIVE PROGRAM

Take the guesswork out of finding separate exercise, nutrition and mindset solutions with our
integrative, all-inclusive wellness retreat customized to your unique challenges and needs.

7 Nights Accommodations

With your very own guest room, you’ll have the perfect spot for solitary reflection on what you’ve learned about yourself and your health throughout the week. From the custom wellness beds to the crystal-shaped soaker tubs, the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows will inspire the feeling of being reconnected to the natural world.

Pre- and Post-Program Assessments

Don’t think twice about the results you’re achieving through the program. Our pre- and post-program assessments will measure your full wellness profile from waist circumference to blood sugar and blood lipids to cognitive functioning.

Specialized Eating Program

Nutritious and delicious low carb and sugar meal plan with no caloric restrictions. Our science-based food program focuses on healthy weight loss, but is also beneficial for Type II diabetes, blood pressure reduction, lipid reduction, longevity, and prevention against Alzheimer’s disease and certain cancers.

Interactive Workshops

Physician-led workshops with our wellness lead, Dr. Pieter Strauss, help you understand the physical and emotional reactions you have to food and exercise, and teach you the skills to stay in control of your habits once you’ve finished the program.

Culinary Education

Learn to prepare healthy and nutritious meals that incorporate the best practices you’ve learned in the education component of the program. Our Executive Chef will provide you with the culinary education you need to continue with the eating program once you return home.

Daily Outdoor Exercise

A favourite of our Be The Best You participants, you will start your day by getting out into nature with a guided hike (or winter wonderland walk) on our local hiking trails. Geared to all fitness abilities, start your morning in the fresh Okanagan air and get a natural boost of energy to keep you going through the day.

Fitness & Wellness Activities

Whether you run marathons or run out of breath climbing the stairs, work through a range of physical activities with our experienced fitness instructors. Learn to enjoy exercise by starting at your current ability level and taking into consideration any past injuries or ailments that may be impeding you in your daily life.

6 Cryo Cold Chamber Sessions

While originally known as an anti-inflammatory treatment for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, Cryo Cold Chamber treatments have been noted in easing symptoms relating to neurological diseases, chronic pain, sleep disorders and more. This treatment is especially important for your recovery during the program.

6 Spa Treatments

An important part of a healthy lifestyle is making time for rest, and an important part of Be The Best You is learning to take care of your body and mind. Our spa treatments will be selected for you to help your body in recovering from the program activities.

KurSpa Access

Enjoy early access to the pools and Kneipp waterway to get a jump on your day. Complete each evening by detoxifying and relaxing in our 7 unique steam rooms and saunas in our KurSpa. Follow our European spa philosophy of hot-cold-rest with hydration to get the most out of your experience and unwind from the day’s activities.

Life changing, absolutely.

“It will be hard not to tell people. I can’t wait to testify about what this week meant to me. Even if you don’t have a weight problem per se, there is WAY more to it than weight loss. That just came naturally.

I definitely conquered my bad coffee and eating habits. It was difficult at first, but now that I’m into it it is so easy to go on from here and moving forward.

When I came in here I could barely walk. I had osteoarthritis, osteoporosis… I was just a mess. I think the Cryo Cold Chamber and the Kneipp waterway improved my blood circulation so that I don’t have any pain right now. Not in my knees, not in my hips, not in my fingers. So, I’m very grateful.

The program is so well designed. From the breathtaking early morning hikes to the amazing muscle relaxing massages after a hard exercise class, enjoying delicious meals while the chef explained the healthy way of preparing it, and challenging yourself to go into a -110 degree celsius cold sauna.

There is something so unique and special about Sparkling Hill that from the moment you step inside you feel different. I think everybody should do this.
- Joulene | Abbotsford, B.C.
It taught me that I can do it.

I was wanting to get a real reset on my health habits. My eating, my exercise, my sleep. I just wanted to think about what I have done in the past and how I can make a difference in the future.

It has changed my confidence, my ability to be in control of my eating, and to be in control of my exercise.

I’m pretty impressed with the changes, particularly my blood sugar that I had been struggling with, and my weight loss. I’m just looking forward to moving on from here and keeping things in a positive light.

This program would be a good fit for people who really need that restart in their life to see the confidence they can gain and the control they can get back.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a limited range of movement or an injury. Will I be able to keep up with all of the activities?

Each of our fitness activities are designed to help you grow in your confidence and enjoyment of fitness. Our knowledgeable Kinesiologist and fitness instructors will help you make adjustments as necessary to accommodate any limitations you may have.

Will I really see much of a difference after one week?

While you will not be able to correct years of lifestyle choices in one week, you may be surprised at the changes you experience after one week focused entirely on your health and well being. After completing the program, you will have the tools and knowledge to continue on your journey to whole body wellness.

I suffer from social anxiety. Can I participate in this program away from the group?

For some of our participants, there is a real concern about spending so much time in a group setting.

Other participants with similar concerns have reported that they felt very supported by the small group setting.
