Ultra Health and Fitness Week

Sedro Woolley, Washington, September 11-18, 2010

People have loved Health and Fitness Week for almost 15 years now, and every year we deliver on our promise to make it better than the year before.

In 2010, in addition to the facets of Health and Fitness Week you all know and love, we have incorporated a focus on endurance. And so, for the first time ever, we are bringing you Ultra Health and Fitness Week!

While triathletes, ultra athletes, and distance competitors of all types will meet with coaches to discover the secrets to peak performance, the event is also designed to accommodate and challenge all budding fitness enthusiasts for a week of pure fun and fitness.

The basic structure of Health and Fitness Week will be quite familiar to all of our returning alums, and the lectures and fitness classes have been refined and focused to support the specialized needs of endurance athletes.

The event will deepen your knowledge of fitness and nutrition, immerse you in the wealth of skills and experience of our multi-talented and specialized staff, and fast-track your path to being the best you can be.

With the addition of ultra and long-distance sports, we now truly offer a complete health and fitness program. The immersion experience of this program empowers and inspires attendees with education and motivation to make the changes required to thrive in their health and fitness pursuits.

Whether you are an endurance, speed, or strength athlete, or simply looking to increase your enjoyment (and results) in your health and fitness endeavors, this life-changing event is not to be missed.
