About Detox Fit Farm

Detox Fit Farm is a boot camp-style fitness retreat located in rural southern Indiana, formerly known as Fit Body Retreat. Guests at this retreat can choose from a variety of fitness activities and nutritional programs designed to increase fitness levels and support moderate to aggressive weight-loss.

These programs are tailored to the needs, abilities, and preferences of each guest, and are designed to push guests to their limits and expand their capacity for achieving a higher level of health and fitness.

As stated on their website, guests should not expect to have the most extravagant accommodations at this retreat. Instead, these programs are designed to help keep guests outdoors, moving, and focused on their weight-loss throughout their stay.

Accommodations

Detox Fit Farm offers both private rooms and shared rooms (at reduced price) for its guests to choose from. They are open in claiming that their accommodations “won’t meet 5-star luxury hotel or spa accommodations” and that they lack many of the amenities found in more luxurious FitStays. However, they mention that they make up for their lack of amenities by their greater attention to guests and focus on keeping everyone up, outdoors, and moving during their stay.

Accommodations include personal long-distance phones, Wi-Fi, and satellite TV’s in the private rooms and lounges. Private rooms include either a queen- or king-sized bed with master bathroom and whirlpool tub. Outside of their rooms guests have full access to common areas which include a kitchen, living area, sauna, gym, etc. There are also maid services for guests’ rooms once a week.

Fitness

Detox Fit Farm tailors each fitness program to the abilities, needs, and preferences of its guests. They mention that these programs can be very intense and aggressive while guests are at the camp, and that they provide a take-home program for guests to follow after they depart.
