A friend and I stayed for 10 days, the minimum I would recommend. 2-3 weeks would be ideal. We met a wonderful group of other women, and hope to return the same time next year.

The negative: Our accommodations were further away than the website indicates, which required us to rent a car at the last minute. My friend's registration forms were lost, causing her to be served a food to which she is highly allergic. Bob Wright jumped in and resolved this immediately, but the concierge was more concerned with accusing my friend and her husband of not sending the forms, even though she had confirmation from H3 that the forms were received. The concierge was slow to resolve other issues, and we were surprised not to hear from Bob Moore.

The positive: The program is very comprehensive, in addressing all aspects of achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The classes were effective in identifying the underlying causes of excess weight - improper diet, lack of appropriate exercise, and the psychological factors which cause emotional and stress eating. Helpful strategies were discussed, and individual plans were developed to continue the H3 experience at home. Bob Wright and Lisette were very knowledgeable and passionate about helping people.

The food was superb. Everyone was amazed at the quantity of food and quality of meals, yet the daily calorie count was 1200. A great lesson learned - you can eat delicious, filling and nutritionally balanced meals and still lose weight. Kudos to the the kitchen team for their creativity and genuine concern for each guest.

The exercise programs were broad in scope, with something for everyone. A few favorites included cardio-boxing, body sculpting, circuit training and all of the pool fitness classes. The heated pool was a major highlight! I would highly recommend any of Karen's Yoga classes, as well as the Reformer Pilates with Linda. My friend took extensive personal training sessions with Jeff, and thought he was exceptional.

The surroundings are very pleasant, with opportunities for beach walks, biking and walking, if you're not totally exhausted by the daily activities!

Bottom Line: Life-changing experience. Confirm housing arrangements/transportation needs in advance. Call to ensure that registrations forms are received, esp. if you have dietary restrictions. Attend the classes, even if you think you don't need them - you'll be surprised with what you learn. Have an open mind about the fitness classes - things I didn't think I'd like turned out to be my favorites.

Results: In 10 days, I lost 5 lbs, 2 in. off chest and hips, and dropped cholesterol nearly 30 points. Even better - overcame addiction to soft drinks and sugar, and returned in the frame of mind to keep up the momentum.

Excellent seminars. Very good fitness program. I'd recommend a two-week stay to get the full benefit of everything they have to offer. Accommodations are vastly inferior to the fitness facility. Housekeeping is god-awful.

i'm 40 and very active person, believe me when i say you find here what you whant and more . All kind of persons, any age , all around the world comme here for losing weight, relax , learn,etc... whatever you want to do it's here . Amazing staff that go whit you along you're stay and most of all they're not " overload of people "(that is so important) , they know everybody name and need as we arrive it's amazing (like everybody that work there read your guest registration form and mesmerize it ..... DA!!!!!) and the food MMMMIAMMMM (you can have special order). I have so much to say it will be too long let's make it short : we definitely comming back every year for at least 3-4 weeks just to get back or stay on track but we also gonna visit other place just to chek if we can find better but........i doubt.
For the internet they say you have two free in the lobby but most of the condo got the wi-fi ....give it a try!!!

Let me preface this by writing that I do not write reviews of things but this place is too good to not share what I experienced. I just returned home from Hilton Head Health after a 10 day stay. I wanted to go there to get a jump start into exercising and how to change my diet/eating habits. H3 exceeded my expectations! The meals were excellent, tasted great as well as being healthy. The facility was also very nice. I enjoyed using the sauna and heated pool/hot tub and the cardio room had the most amazing Woodway treadmills. I loved the variety of exercise options as well. I started with a beach walk every morning watching the sun rise of the spectacular white sand beach! I also went to some Yoga classes for beginners which was also very fun. The area is absolutely gorgeous!! If I had to pick the best part of the experience it would have to be the staff. Everybody at H3 has the guests needs as the top priority. Robert Moore who is the CEO was always near and engaging with guests to make sure the experience was top notch. Likewse Bob Wright, the director of education, was incredible! I was able to go to different classes on portion control, supplements, and eating a balanced diet that gave me the tools to move forward with my lifestyle change. Kelia Bennett was my personal concierge, she provided an exceptional level of service that started weeks before my visit and throughout my stay. I could list many many more staff who made my stay a dream come true! Overall just an absolutely beautiful experience that I will remember for the rest of my life!
