VACATIONS
for
FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS
Totally immerse yourself in a regime of fitness and weight loss activity. Take a Smart Workout Fitness Vacation for a healthy escape, set against the rich cultural backdrop of New York City.
Start your day with a selection of small group exercise classes from Smart Workout’s menu of more than 30 different types of classes. Enjoy Pilates on the Reformer machine, TRX Suspension, Pole dancing, Trampoline, as well as traditional favorites like yoga, kickboxing, and so many more.
Follow this with a cooking demonstration, and a chat with our nutritionist, to learn shopping and cooking tips that can genuinely be sustained when you go back to the demands and challenges of your real world life.
And then we take you out on the town, to experience the excitement of New York City, all the while burning calories.
In the winter, we’ll take you ice skating in Bryant Park; and during the summer, we’ll paddle-boat in Central Park, and rollerblade along the Hudson River Path.
We’ll walk through the Metropolitan Museum, and The American Museum of Natural History, while wearing pedometers and reaching fitness goals.
We’ll indulge in decadent spas (NYC has the best!), take in some theatre, and go to dance centers for lessons in salsa and swing,
We’ll eat in first class restaurants, like the world famous Oyster Bar. We’ve arranged for healthful, portion-controlled selections, to be brought to you. All you have to do, is sit back, eat, and enjoy.
And you will be fully escorted throughout. You’ll enjoy warm, personalized attention from Smart Workout’s caring staff, while reveling in the world’s greatest city.
Our tours are truly all “all inclusive”, offering activities every moment of your stay. And our package price covers every expense, including taxes and gratuities.
Activities
Our vacation week is filled with “fitness outings” to NYC’s heralded sights and cultural attractions.
In the winter months our excursions include the Metropolitan Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art. In the warmer months our fitness walks include stops at some of NYC’s smaller gems, like the Forbes Museum, and the Museum at FIT. In the spring we’ll go to the Orchard Show at the NYC Botanical Gardens; and in the summertime, we’ll walk along the paths of the Cloisters, City Island, and the Bronx Zoo. We’ll walk the full length of the Highline Park, rollerblade on the Hudson River Path, and ice skate in Bryant Park.
We give you a pedometer at the start of your stay, and set “step” goals for each day, and for each sight visited on that day.
Our philosophy, and our certainty, is that you can have an enjoyable time while burning calories, and if we can help you to enjoy working out, you’ll be more likely to continue this healthy lifestyle after your stay with us is over.
Our evening activities include dance lessons and social dancing at professional dance centers, and of course, an evening of theatre.
All your hard work deserves some indulgence, to pamper your spirit and to soothe your hard-worked muscles. So our vacations include visits to some of New York City’s grandest spas, where you can soak in whirlpools and waterfalls, and have wonderful spa treatments.
We visit different museums every week, and all our activities change seasonally. So stay with us for 2 weeks or longer, and come back to visit frequently. We’ll promise to always show you a good time, while helping you to feel good!

Meals
Our approach to meals is to give you “real life” skills, which can enable you to continue healthy eating when you return to your home.We give you meals that are made from readily available ingredients, which can be prepared when you don’t have much time. We teach you how to make selections from restaurant menus that are healthy, as well as satisfying.
For breakfast, we lay out options in portion controlled containers with recommendations for combinations. We provide you with the counts for calories, protein, fat, and fiber grams. The choice of what to eat is yours. Our goal is to help you become aware of portion sizes, and the nutrition composition of your selections.
For lunch, we have cooking demonstrations. You make your own meal, with our cooking tips, and then we give you the recipes to take home.
We’ll raise your nutritional intelligence, and teach practical skills that you can use every day to make healthy, great-tasting dishes.
Lunches are followed by a chat with a Smart Workout nutritionist who will explore with you issues affecting your body’s biochemistry, weight, and overall health.
Dinners are in superior restaurants, such as Dock’s, East of Eighth, The Oyster Bar, and Josie’s, to name some.
In advance of our meal, we’ll show you some of the selections from the restaurant’s usual menu, and have you make choices.
Then we’ll arrange to have those choices given to you, in the appropriate portion size.
When you arrive at the restaurant, we’ll present you with the nutritional details of your selection. Then you sit back, eat, and enjoy.
We’ll show you how you can make healthy selections for tasty and satisfying meals, while eating out in fine restaurants.
We want to give you knowledge, and tactics, and send you home with a realistic plan to achieve your healthy intentions.
