After a year of eating takeout, bingeing Netflix and working from home, many travelers are turning to fitness resorts to reset

"We e-learned three kids and stayed inside for a year and several months, and I just ate and drank and gained about 60 pounds," says Benjamin, who runs a foundation for a company in Indianapolis."I wasn't feeling great, my pants didn't fit. I hadn't lifted anything other than a donut box. I thought, just to go someplace to not have to pick up anybody's socks and to be given a schedule of what to do sounds great.

"Everybody was sort of on the same mission, no matter where they were in terms of health and weight," says Benjamin."We were there to be kind to ourselves and each other. I watched the sunrise over the horizon. I petted a horse. I went hiking. It was so calming and I didn't have to make a lot of decisions.

"They really help rebuild your relationship with food," he says."When I went into Structure House my goal was, 'I want to get back to 175.' Now my goal is, 'I want to be healthy.'"'We needed something different' "But during the pandemic I gained weight and wasn't really getting out. I wanted to support my mom and make this a joint effort. We both wanted a lifestyle change and were tired of the dieting rigamarole. Nothing was sticking. We needed something different."

Yeah, I’m turning back to Netflix and takeout because things are about to get insane when school starts back. But I do love watching people on TikTok who used the pandemic to transform themselves into paragons of health.

Fat farms for rich people. It's a class war, not the other distractions.

I am a size 12 and a woman told me to lose weight “ you’ll be happier “. I am 60 years old. I am I going to be happier at a size 6?

When people say reporters are detached from the average American, this is the kind of stuff they're talking about

If Joe wouldn’t have opened the borders, we wouldn’t be dealing with an influx of new CV carriers. Not to mention the horrendous conditions so many migrants are facing. Truly, Joe and his cohorts need to be tried for crimes against humanity for what they’ve done.

Yet you have to wear your mask. Because you know… delta.

This reeks of an everyman article. Not.

Clearly I am poor as shit, cause I've never even heard of a fitness resort, until now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Read the room . All of us on this planet are dealing with Covid and you publish this piece? Again? What’s wrong with you? …Unless you’re making an attempt to please the privileged. Hmmmm. 🤔

They tried to save their children, can't you at least tell their story!

Stress and anxiety... Gee... Try being an 'essential employee' and trying to keep poor Karen happy, so that she doesn't try to get you fired...

Like few traveller camps here.

Damn y’all really didn’t waste one minute to try to make people feel badly for how they handled a global quarantine, huh?

'Many'?

We always have an excuse to justify our bad habits.

Lifestyles of the rich and famous, eh
