I'm changing my review because after a year or two of my visit I am still on the pritikin plan and it has changed my life. I think the only real criticism I have at this point is that my mother has attended Pritikin for decades and she ended up bringing home a beautiful notebook with the entire program in written form a few years ago. I refer to it all the time and it's sad that they don't provide that anymore. I did do a lot of video taping with my phone and they don't seem to mind that but that's a little more time-consuming to review. I think it's important to keep in mind that this is not a

I can't say enough about my two weeks here!
I went reluctantly next few days into it I really never wanted to leave. I learned so much and got myself in a fantastic routine while enjoying gorgeous accommodations. I also brought two of my daughters with me. One was focused on taking her exercise and nutrition to a new level and the other one was focused on weight loss. They also loved it. The staff has been there for decades and you feel like family. I actually can't wait to return

I was at Pritikin for two weeks in early July 2019. I originally booked for a week but added a second week, communicating by both email and phone. When I checked in they only had me booked into the program for two weeks but only had my room booked for one week. When I tried to meet with my program adviser to sort out the problem I found that she had left the company, but I was never notified or assigned to someone else. I requested that I be reassigned but they didn't/wouldn't.
I found that it took ages for the blood test results to be posted on line and I had to call after I was home

I stayed here for 3 weeks and found the place to be OK. Not really worth my trip across the country for the experience. The decorations are very nice, made me feel special. But I wasn't here to be wined and dined, I came to get a work out with weights and learn about better eating habits. Loving Mexican food, I was a little taken back because they told me that everything I was eating was bad. No tacos unless it had turkey meat, spinach, no cheese and don't fry the organic taco shells. No tomato sauce unless it was organic with no salt. I always thought olive and coconut oil was

The good: Overall good experience. Facilities are luxurious and well decorated. When you use the spa you also get to use all the facilities, pool, spa, etc the whole day. Very good deal and def. Relaxing. Customer service is very good. Food was very good. Overall will return for the experience as a whole. It would have helped if my massage therapist had experience it did not seem like she had much, please see below:
The NOT so good: Unfortunately the person that did my massage did not show skill whatsoever and no bedside manners. The massage was relaxing just because of the nature of the activity

My mom came here for a month, and really enjoyed it. Had some minor issues with staff member being rude and not giving her juice during her stay (she's diabetic and needed to raise sugars ASAP!!) but management handled it and made sure my mom was taken care of.
I visited her for four days and the food is amazing , we met some really wonderful people and friends there. I'd love to come back. The spa is wonderful!!!!!! The shower is the best part.

Upgrading to four stars from one because as I said in my original review..very good program but very poor communications with guests. They, eventually, did right by me but it did take a "dispute" claim through my cc co to get resolved. This place really was great and I've recommended it to others. They did load their food with potassium and you will pee, a lot, your first night there. Try to hit all the morning exercise programs you can and attend all the lectures in the afternoon. There were some issues communicating with guests when lectures were cancelled. Also, Dr. appts

We had a wonderful two weeks in April 2017 and learned enough to aspire to good longevity. Staff was great, lectures were great, doctors were great, and we even thought the food was great (FYI, no salt, no meat). My wife wants to live there. The beauty of the program is that we can eat until we are FULL at every meal and still keep our weight down. We like to hike, so there is no problem maintaining the exercise part of the program. It does require a lifestyle change to aspire to longer life, but we are enjoying our lives even more after our lifestyle change ... and plan to return to the Pritikin

For anyone with any type of chronic disease, this is the place to go to help get that disease reversed. The medical team is fantastic- they really know their stuff!
This is an evidence-based treatment plan that is actually covered under Medicare to reverse cardiovascular disease (the hotel stay is not covered, but the medical part is).
Love this place! I wish there could be one in every major city - the health of our country would greatly improve.

Finding ourselves at Pritikin this spring was the result of a perfect storm that worked totally in our favor. Exercise, Education, Diet plus a supporting cadre of intelligent friendly guests in a beautiful setting. We could have had golf and spa days, but instead we immersed ourselves in the Pritikin Longevity plan. Expert training, nutritionists and medical staff, plus delicious South Florida influenced cuisine including entree specialties of game, caribbean seafood, and a multitude of vegan selections.
Result: pounds dropped, cholesterol dropped, blood pressure dropped, medications eliminated

Great health and wellness resort! I spent two weeks at the Pritikin Center in Miami and lost 8lbs and reduced my cholesterol by 20%! The team there is so supportive and helpful. You learn to cook healthy meals, exercise properly and most importantly they help you establish good habits. It's not about dieting to reach some ideal weight - the Pritikin program is all about making a lifestyle change so you're healthy for the rest of your life.

No matter what your physical condition, the education and guidance available at Pritikin is without equal. Your stay here will be a life altering experience for the better no matter what your age. The accomodations and surroundings are beautiful. The staff is professional and top notch in all areas. We came to Pritikin for 2 weeks instead of going on a 2 week cruise and it was one of the best decisions that we ever made.

Arrived Saturday 20 Oct., in five days I already feel better than I have in years. More energy, a bit lighter, but more importantly, better educated about health. The lectures and meals are geared around healthy choices for diet and exercise. The program is excellent and first hand reports from those who have been here a week or two are amazing: lower blood pressure, off medications, loss of weight. The program is medically supervised and I have never gone hungry while getting in shape.

Pritikin is a great place to get yourself back on track. It is not a diet but a lifestyle. The food is low in sodium, sugar, and fat it is absolutely delicious. It helps you become more aware of how good food tastes on its own without all the additives like butter and excess oil.
However my favorite part of Pritkin besides the food is the gym. You get personal attention with daily exercise classes and an amazing staff. They are always there to help you along the way and will answer any questions or concerns. They know everyone by name and are always there cheering you on and giving great
