Fat Farm - It isn't what it used to be
The term "fat farm" is somewhat dated, and may potentially be considered offensive by some people who believe it reinforces negative stereotypes about body weight and size. Today, programs that were once referred to as "fat farms" are more commonly known as weight loss retreats, wellness retreats, or fitness retreats.
This evolution goes deeper than the name: modern fitness retreats like Weight Crafters employ powerful, modern techniques including behavioral modification, group support, and nutritional guidance.
In a nut-shell, Weight Crafters is designed to provide comfort, practical fitness, small group training, positive habit forming, and balanced, healthy meals.
The goal is to provide a lifestyle you can replicate and maintain long term after you return home - without spending exorbitant amounts of money.
No matter what your fitness level - our approach works!

What is a fat farm for seniors?
Fat farms are typically residential retreats where older adults and seniors struggling to get fit or lose weight come to obtain their weight loss and fitness goals, and do so in an environment that reduces their everyday stress.
At Weight Crafters, our program is designed for adults of all ages and fitness levels to include obese and senior clientele.
By setting up an environment that allows people to get away from their everyday routine and focus entirely on losing weight, improving strength, mobility, energy levels and over-all health, we have been able to help our clients achieve great results and turn a new leaf towards a healthier lifestyle.
The combination of our healthy meals, exercises, calorie intake monitoring and focus on overall wellness serve to achieve a maintainable weight loss and fitness regiment. At Weight Crafters, our #1 priority is helping our clients form habits and behaviors that are life-changing and sustainable.
