Please note that this schedule of activities, while representative of a typical week at Pritikin, is not necessarily the exact same schedule you will receive while attending Pritikin. Yours may be slightly different. Your exercise group, for example, may have cardio workouts starting at 8:30, not 7:30. Also, education topics are regularly revised to reflect new research in nutrition and lifestyle change, and some classes/times may change to accommodate specialty sessions.
