Elysia is launching a new specialty week in the Hunter Valley aptly named "Body Blitz" on Sunday October 25th 2009.

This dynamic health and fitness program is the "high voltage" version of the company's famous holistic program offering guests a week of intense fitness training in a highly motivational setting, super delicious low fat spa cuisine; seminars designed to give you all the mental tools you need to succeed as well as indulgent spa treatments to massage your muscles back into shape.

The focus of the week is on maximising weight loss, kick starting an effective exercise program and getting your diet on track to whip your body into beach worthy shape for summer.

This specialty week will be run by the dedicated health and wellness professionals at The Golden Door - Elysia and is aimed at all fitness levels. The Golden Door team will put you through your paces with a week of boot camp, power training, triathlon, aqua fitness, team sports such as Volley Ball, Water Polo and Indoor Hockey.

As with all Golden Door programs, each guest will receive a personalized wellness assessment to ensure that the fitness activities and program they undertake is suited to them individually.

Golden Door's Body Blitz training will be combined with informative seminars throughout the week focusing on the principles of training; understanding your metabolism; sleep to lose weight; men's and women's health to name a few.

National General Manager Brook Ramage said, "We all know that fad diets and radical detox programs don't provide the kind of long lasting weight loss results that many people are searching for. Most of them have short term results at best, usually associated with serious dehydration which, in itself can be dangerous. The Golden Door provides people with the essential information and importantly the motivation to make sustainable positive changes in their lives that will solve the weight loss riddle for them."

"The Body Blitz program takes this one step further by accelerating the intensity of the program for greater and more immediate results."

The world class facilities include Australia's largest and most luxurious spa with an intimate couples treatment room, a wellness centre, 25 metre indoor lap pool and outdoor swimming pool, his and hers saunas and spa pools, gymnasium, three indoor activity studios and courts including an indoor half basketball court, two tennis courts, cycling and walking routes, library and lounge.

Priced at $1995* per person (based on two people sharing a one bedroom villa) commencing Sunday October 25th - Friday October 30th 2009; the Body Blitz program includes: 5 night's accommodation in a luxury villa, Gourmet spa cuisine for all meals; full use of extensive facilities; a diverse range of fitness, health, education and relaxation classes; specialty health education seminars; wellness Consultation and three complimentary spa treatments.
