Get Back on Track With a Wellness Vacation in Southern Utah
Ah, the train of life. Sometimes it moves with the speed and precision of a Shinkansen bullet train. Other times it chugs along like Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 steam locomotive going up a mountain pass. And then there are the occasional detours and derailments. When life veers you off track physically or emotionally (or both), there’s nothing like a wellness vacation with a spectacular change of scenery to help you find your course again.
There are several such wellness vacation destinations, but Movara Fitness Resort is one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Utah — or anywhere, for that matter. It is located in Ivins, Utah, amidst the crimson cliffs and black lava rocks of Snow Canyon State Park and the white sandstone canyons in Zion National Park.
With natural surroundings like these, hiking is obviously a daily part of Movara’s itineraries. But there are a variety of other therapeutic activities — from wellness workshops to pickleball games and interval training — intended to help you find your mojo again.
All Aboard
A certain amount of motivation must come from within. But whatever your reason for choosing Movara — you’re trying to get back in shape after fracturing your femur, reprioritizing your own health after neglecting it while caring for a loved one or looking for personal ways to calm the professional chaos in your life — you need a support system.
During your stay at Movara, you’ll be surrounded by a community of uplifting people: trainers, life coaches, nutritionists and guests on their own wellness journeys. But what about when you go back home? It’s easy for old habits to creep back in when you try to go it alone. You will be more likely to maintain the healthy habits you practice at Movara if you bring someone else with you.

Light at the End of the Tunnel
Just as no two trips are alike, no two days at Movara are alike either. But no matter who you go with, what therapeutic activities your itinerary consists of or how long you stay, there is one commonality: clarity.
Movara’s program helps you find meaning in your workouts and balance in your life, no matter what difficulties you’ve been going through. And the natural beauty surrounding this all-inclusive resort in Utah energizes the body and soothes the soul. Find solace in southern Utah and get your life back on track with a week (or two!) of wellness at Movara Fitness Resort.
