More About the Programs

Fitness

Each week the Resort to Health program offers a variety of fitness classes taught by both our Canyon Ranch fitness instructors and other qualified staff. In addition, you are always welcome to join in the guest classes (space permitting). A well-rounded exercise program can give you more energy, help you handle stress better, and make physical tasks easier. In fact, regular exercise may be regarded as the foundation upon which you build your entire wellness program.

Nutrition

RESORT TO HEALTH offers many types of classes in the area of nutrition and food management. From hands-on cooking demonstrations to classroom-type lectures, you can learn to create a food plan to help you look and feel your best. Healthy food can taste wonderful and be easy to prepare.

 

Personal Development

We know that wellness requires taking good care of your body. We must also complement our physical workouts with the development of mind and spirit.

THE WELLNESS RECIPE

  1. Balance components of body, mind & spirit
  2. Combine ingredients
  3. Blend well with enthusiasm and discipline
  4. Serve with joy, happiness and health

Throughout the year RESORT TO HEALTH will offer personal growth lectures and workshops in such areas as stress, relationships, self-esteem, and habit management.

Mental Health Services

As one of our benefits, Canyon Ranch has contracted with an Employee Assistant Program to provide free, short-term, confidential counseling for staff and their families who need help with personal problems. In Tucson, the 24-hour crisis service number is 469-8700. There is also a brochure available in the Human Resources reception area.

Health Screening and Fitness Testing

Every January we offer Health and Fitness screenings for all staffers. In addition, appointments are available on an individual basis. All you have to do is contact the Resort to Health office and make an appointment. We hold these screenings for a number of reasons. A health screening provides an opportunity to identify medical concerns or health risks. Fitness testing helps us assess current fitness levels and provides a performance baseline against which to measure improvement. In addition, the tests can help you tailor a more effective exercise program. Our screening includes a battery of tests focusing on the components of fitness:

  • cardiorespiratory endurance
  • muscular strength
  • muscular endurance
  • flexibility
  • body composition

As a medical health precaution, we check for hypertension (blood pressure) first. If you blood pressure exceeds 140/90, we are unable to continue the screening process and you will be referred to your physician. Please note: Screenings take approximately one hour.

Get Started Today

In short, the Resort to Health program is a comprehensive wellness program incorporating Canyon Ranch’s empowerment philosophy. This program is for you...Canyon Ranch staffers. Whether you are full-time or part-time, we want you to participate.
