The sunlight peeking over the mountains and into the window of your suite will rouse you out of your deep and restful night's sleep, ready for the day ahead. You will begin with a series of invigorating stretches that will prepare your body for a day of prioritizing you.

When we say all fitness levels are welcome, we really mean it! Movara is a judgment-free zone. At Movara, we make getting healthy and losing weight a sensible, achievable and lasting lifestyle choice.
We all know that nutrition is the key to healthy weight loss, but we don't want you to worry at all about what you're going to eat while you're our guest. Let Movara show you just how mouth-wateringly delicious nutrition can be! With world-class chefs preparing every meal (and discreetly accommodating any preference, allergy, or medical condition), you're sure to look forward to every flavourful bite.

Education is a crucial component of the Movara experience, because when someone embarks on the journey to change their lifestyle, they must also understand the how and why of that journey, so that they can have faith in themselves and the outcome.
Just as important as any other component of our program, we know that you need time to relax, unwind, de-stress, and focus on your general well-being. That's why we know you're going to love the Movara spa experience! The Spa at Movara is all about recovery.

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!

My friend Jane told me about this place and it was as she described. Wonderful hiking! Terrific guides and staff. Lotta fitness options and everything scales to the individual ability.
There is always room for improvement but the team rose to every challenge. The staff is young, eager and getting better every day.
Guests are from all around the world and the environment encourages conversations and friendships that wouldn't happen any place else.

Good things happen at Movara if you put effort into executing their basic program of wellness. The structure of each days involves hiking in the morning, personal development lectures interspersed with aerobic, cardio, strength and stretch classes. You can stay a week or multiple weeks depending upon your personal goals. The food is nutrient dense, quite flavorful and satisfying. Ivin, UT, where it is located in Southern Utah is exceptionally beautiful and the weather during the week I stayed was specifically lovely. (high 60s in the first week of December). I will probably come again. It is not

What a fantastic week! I overheard a friend of a friend talking about her fantastic experience at Movara and I was inspired to treat myself to a birthday present for my 60th birthday. BEST thing I've done for myself in a long time. It's a beautiful resort in a beautiful part of the country, hiking groups every morning, inspiring classes, fitness activities and swimming every afternoon. It was exhilarating. AND, amazing food served at every meal. It was a healthy week physically, mentally and emotionally. I came alone, but I never felt alone. It's so welcoming and inclusive here.

It was such a wonderful experience, so much more than I could expect! The staff is very professional, helpful and kind! The location couldn't be better! The food is better than in any restaurant in STG that I've had so far. The hikes are phenomenal!!!! I would recommend this place to everyone who is on the path of healing, recovery, weight loss and emotional balance!

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.

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

Movara has been a true blessing to me in my finding a path toward lading a healthy and meaningful lifestyle you are challenged and supported by an amazing staff that truly cares about your well being on not just the physical side, but on the emotional and spiritual side. From the owner to the senior management to the staff that prepare and serve the amazing food, the service and the supportive and caring environment is incomparable. I made my first visit for 1 week nd am already planning another week in April. The friendship and community from the staff through the fellow guests are incomparable

A great break from normal everyday life. I was initially dubious of coming here but my wife had previously been here & recommended that we come together.
I learned a ton about nutrition as a part of losing weight & learned that exercise is only a small component to weight loss.
That being said there is plenty of incredibly beautiful hikes & exercises classes throughout the day. Something for every level. Also met some great people from all over the country .
If u need a “reset” for your life this is the perfect place.

I am visiting Movara for only one week and already feel it's a life changing place. It's a perfect
Place for a reset or a full life reboot where you can learn great eating and fitness habits. You really build confidence in all you can do. The food is delicious, the rooms are nice, the classes are great, the hikes are world class--but the people working here and the people attending are the real magic. I'll definitely be back.

I've just finished my second full day at Movara Fitness resort and i am loving this program. Working super hard but feeling strong. The food is excellent. The daily morning hikes are the best part of the day. I'm already talking to my husband about coming with me next time and staying 2 weeks instead of only one.

Best trip I ever took! The people - staff and guests - are amazing. It's a complete physical and mental reset surrounded by the support of those who will become life long friends. The food was incredible. The hikes were outstanding. The workouts great. And the lectures life-changing. If you've ever wondered if it s worth doing something like this... don't hesitate anymore. It's one of those zero regrets trips that you'll carry with you forever!

Movara was a good experience, however when it came to all of the staff upholding a judgment free zone (free from religious, political, and popular culture rhetoric) some employees (Angel who is the "soul mentor"/educator at Movara) struggled to honor participants choice of having different views than she did. In her lectures she continually failed to uphold Movara's standards of providing a judgment free zone. Besides this huge factor, the experience at Movara when it came to the exercises classes, the nutritional courses, and the impeccable trainer, hiking, kitchen, and front desk

I just returned from a week at Madera fitness resort and anyone who knows me will tell you I came back a new person, Or maybe just that the old me is back with a vengeance. While I needed to lose 15 or so pounds, the real reason for the visit was to de-stress. The morning hikes, along with daily fitness classes and the 1200 cal diet all very much appealed to me, so I took a chance and booked a week. It is by the far the best thing I have ever done for myself. I list weight and regained my spark.
I went alone, but some people came with their spouses, sisters, friends, kids, the whole gamut.

I stayed at Movara for 3 weeks. I recommend anyone looking for a solid vacation dedicated to fitness to come here. I got exactly what I wanted from my experience.
Pros: The area is GORGEOUS. Food is definitely spa-quality and you don't starve. The fitness classes are plentiful and different. The pool is amazing. The rooms are perfectly practical fora long-term stay. I got 2 massages a week and hilariously all three masseuses I used had their own take on a 90-minute Swedish massage. The trainers really motivate you to do your best. I swear I still hear Sharon shouting "what can you do

Movara has been an experience of a life time. I simply woke up one day and was tired of feeling bad and how I was living my life and wanted a change. I simply got onto Google and started typing. I came up with so many options and just started sorting through them. I ended up with a final 3 from simple research and once I spoke to the reservation office I booked my trip for 3 weeks leaving as soon as the week after. I was not really sure what I was getting myself into at this point.

I went to Movara for a jump start on achieving my fitness and health goals. After a few years at a job that was all-consuming, I felt like I didn't have control over my life and fitness - and wasn't happy with my body.
Movara provided the structure, motivation and space for me to feel in control again. It was the first time that I've been able to spend a full 6 days on myself - on being healthy. Even though I "knew all the right things to do", I learned so much and was reminded of even more. And more importantly, practiced those "right things" without other
