SECLUDED VERMONT WOMEN’S WEIGHT LOSS RETREAT VOTED BEST SMALL SPA INTERNATIONALLY Recent Recognition of Real Women Exhibiting Real Beauty is Not a New Campaign for Green Mountain at Fox Run

Ludlow, Vermont (Sept 2005) – The ‘Real Beauty’ Dove campaign has recently brought attention to a perspective that a women’s healthy weight loss retreat in Vermont has quietly been espousing for over 33 years. Real women don’t look like those on the pages of fashion magazines, and only by accepting yourself can you let your real beauty shine through.
That philosophy, along with a supportive, hands-on program that helps women successfully adopt healthy lifestyles and achieve healthy weights, is why readers voted Green Mountain at Fox Run, a women’s retreat for healthy living without dieting, Best Small Spa.
Spa Finder, the world’s leading spa travel and marketing company, recently announced their Reader’s Choice Crystal Awards in Singapore. According to Spa Finder Chairman and CEO, Pete Ellis, the winning spas reflect the tastes of discerning spa-goers who travel the world in search of the finest spa experiences for relaxation and wellness. “To be selected as one of the world's best spas by these discerning spa-goers is an objective validation of a truly world-class spa experience.”
Executive Director of Green Mountain at Fox Run, Alan Wayler PhD, suggested why the award came his way, “We have always believed we provide something unique here. When women are finally serious about achieving healthy weights, feeling good and making long term changes, they find their way here,” says Dr. Wayler.
Each year Green Mountain at Fox Run attracts more than a thousand women of all ages, shapes and sizes who come to learn their groundbreaking, time tested, non-diet approach to weight loss and to start feeling good again. Past participant, Amy Robert says, “For me, the Green Mountain difference was about how they helped me see myself. Within a few days, my whole perspective changed. I lost weight eating real food and exercised in a way that I actually enjoyed. It wasn’t torture, because it was right for me. I wish all women could have the experience.”
Spa Finder adds, “This women-only spa specializes in weight loss without the use of fad diets. They came out on top for that and for their emotionally supportive staff and comprehensive take home program. This positive atmosphere, wrote several voters, helped them maintain their new healthy lifestyle habits at home.”
