The Palms - sister property to the Oaks at Ojai- offers the room, and then some. Make that the room, and then a lot. Five-day programs -including meals, hiking, exercise classes, and a sampling of spa treatments - begin at $675, the daily tariff at many other spas.
Wellness at The Palms is promoted through a combination of exercise, nutrition, and attitude. All fitness levels are accommodated in an environment that does not intimidate. Thirteen fitness classes are available daily, guests being welcome to any combination they desire. Each day begins with your choice of locomotion: a vigorous five-and-a-half mile endurance walk; a steady and stimulating three mile walk; or, a short and leisurely nature walk. After a 200-calorie breakfast of juice and a fresh baked muffin, it’s your choice from the day’s fitness menu. Stay poolside for aquaerobics, aquatoning, or aquafit; or get more aggressive in the gym with flex and pump. The choice is yours.
Vegetable and broth breaks are served mid-morning and mid-afternoon, each about 20 calories. Lunch and dinner, each 350 calories, offer such creations as mushroom barley burgers, artichoke chili-stuffed potatoes, and salmon broiled with lemon and herbs. Home-grown herbs, local produce, fish, and poultry are the staples.
