Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa

The Perfect Place to Start the Pritikin Program

Pritikin's health resort is nestled in a tropical paradise surrounded by turquoise waterways, championship golf courses, and the elegant Turnberry Yacht Club. Country Inns Magazine rated Pritikin as "the resort spa of choice in Florida."

This outside beauty provides the perfect setting for the life-changing events that take place within. Pritikin is known internationally for results unparalleled at any other health resort. Recently, the London Business Times hailed Pritikin as "arguably the most effective diet, exercise, and lifestyle change program in the world." For 30 years, Pritikin has attracted a wide variety of guests, totaling more than 100,000. Some come to prevent or reverse health challenges like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Others come simply because they want more out of life -- more energy, more satisfaction,“ and they want to look and feel younger, too.

Most of us go on vacation, have a good time, overindulge a little, probably put on a few pounds, and when we return home, it's back to the old routine.

So, just for a moment, imagine a vacation in a luxurious setting, where you have a good time, eat good food, exercise, and lose weight. And when you return home, you feel energized, have a new lifestyle, and you're no longer back to the old grind.

That's how I felt after just one week at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa in Aventura, Florida.The entire week was filled with healthy activities and was a real learning experience.

Every day at Pritikin, you're immersed in exercise classes based on your personal fitness prescription, stress management workshops, one-on-one counseling with physicians, and education classes lead by nationally acclaimed nutritionists, scientists, and lifestyle counselors.

The classes, notes frequent guest Jeff Garlin, co-star/co-producer of HBO's Emmy award-winning comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, "come right out and punch you in the face!" I thought I knew everything about food and fat, but, boy oh boy, was I wrong. The information was completely enlightening. "This is tremendous, "I kept telling myself." This is the way to go."
