Green Mountain at Fox Run, Ludlow, Vermont
I've been going to Green Mountain at Fox Run in Ludlow, Vermont, since the mid 1980s. My last visit was in November 04 and I plan on going back again this year. I always feel so welcome by the staff, but what I like even better is how good I feel going home. Green Mountain is not a luxury spa. It is a health spa for women. You get wonderful, tasty, healthy food (1500 calories) and great exercise, including everything from yoga and dance to weight training and aerobics. In between the good food and the exercise, you take classes on nutrition, exercise, and the mental components of health. What you learn in class is supplemented by what you learn from the other participants in the program. I always go by myself, so it is important to me that the other women participants are fun and interesting. Recently they started having a diabetic program in conjunction with the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston. It is given in May and November. This is really an extra bonus for me because I am a diabetic. I've gone to two of these special weeks and I plan on going again. But they have all sorts of programs that you can check out on their website. If you're looking for a spa that just pampers you with beauty treatments, Green Mountain is not right for you. But, if you're trying to work out health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, or illness, you should consider my favorite spa, Green Mountain at Fox Run. -- Judy W., June 2005

I am desperately wanting to go to Green Mountain but how on earth did you manage to pay for it? I'm thinking about taking out a loan or something but I'm only 20.
