Wellness & Fitness Retreat

For anyone who has ever tried to get more fit or to lose weight, it is obvious that it requires more than will-power and the ability to count (carbs, fat grams, points, calories, fil-in-the-blank). It’s a multi-faceted endeavor. Leave one part out and success is short-lived. Been there? Apple Valley Counseling & Wellness Services provides a complete and well-rounded program that includes:

  • Fitness training appropriate for your health and fitness level
  • Individually designed nutritional guidance by a registered dietician
  • Tips on cooking for wellness
  • Professional counseling to look at the ‘whys’ of hunger and the purpose the weight serves

Our retreat house is in rural Northeast Georgia between Commerce and Jefferson, Georgia. Our accommodations include two private bedrooms and a room with two double beds. Two bathrooms are shared. Maximum capacity for the fitness retreat is four participants.
