Premier Medical Program
A hallmark of Pritikin is its strong medical presence. Our board-certified physicians provide each guest with the expert medical attention required for achieving major life changes smoothly and successfully. While most health/spa programs charge significantly extra fees for every medical appointment and test, the following medical services are standard at Pritikin:
. History and physical, including blood pressure screening, medication review, dietary analysis, and weight-loss planning. Pritikin guests spend up to 75 minutes of private time with their physician.
. The newest, most scientifically advanced diagnostic tools to detect cardiovascular disease in its early stages.
. Personal consultations with our physicians to closely track fitness, weight loss, and health progress.
. Exercise Tolerance Test.
. State-of-the-art blood panels, including inflammatory markers, comprehensive cholesterol analysis, and insulin and blood sugar sensitivity.

The Exercise Program has always been a big hit with guests. Just walk in the gym; you feel the excitement. People are laughing, cheering each other on, and, most of all, thrilled because they’re shedding fat and building muscle quicker and more effectively than they ever thought possible. The Pritikin Exercise Program teaches a comprehensive approach involving cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and stretching. Each element is designed to be safe, fun, and easy to follow when you return home. And we accommodate all levels of fitness – from fit guests to people who have not exercised in years and want highly individualized attention. Also offered daily are electives, including Sunrise Stretch, Yoga/Meditation, Aquatics, Functional Fitness, Balance & Stability, Spinning, Zumba Dancing, and Mat Pilates.
