Los Angeles, Calif., February 20, 2013 - Fitness Ridge Worldwide, the parent entity of The Biggest Loser Resort, today announced that it will open its next destination resort this spring outside Chicago. The Biggest Loser Resort - Chicago will open in May 2013 in Itasca, Ill. within the AAA Four Diamond rated Eaglewood Resort and Spa. Offering the same award-winning, results-oriented program that guests have come to expect and enjoy at the company's other locations, The Biggest Loser Resort-Chicago will be the first to feature "Four Diamond" accommodations, a championship golf course, and a breathtaking 75- foot indoor pool. This location addresses the repeated requests of guests from the Midwest and Canada to locate a resort closer to home.
The Biggest Loser Resorts cater to adults of all fitness levels (and teens 14 and older) and focuses on exercise, healthy nutrition and education. The Resorts' inspiration stems from what contestants on NBC's hit weight loss series "The Biggest Loser" experience during their time on the show. Spas of America recently recognized The Biggest Loser Resort in their Top 100 Spas of 2012 listing: Utah was #1 and Malibu was #4. The Resorts have also received numerous readers' choice awards from SpaFinder, and were recently named one of the top fitness vacation destinations by Greatest.com.
"Expanding into Chicago is a very exciting step for us, and this resort will allow us to continue our expansion into corporate wellness," said Larry Bond, CEO, Fitness Ridge Worldwide, LLC. "Workforce health care costs are spiralling out of control, and onne way to stem these costs is to prevent the chronic and complex diseases linked to being overweight and obese. Companies will now be able to combine traditional corporate training and retreats with a wellness solution that can work within the parameters of their business meeting."
