The Claremont Resort & Spa Offers a Menu of Healthy Solutions for High Energy MeetingsBERKELEY, Calif. - Whether you spend a day in the boardroom presenting, debating or brainstorming, it's a day that is likely to take the wind out of you. The Claremont Resort & Spa helps combat meeting fatigue with "GroupTrek," an array of team-building exercises, spa programs, destination trips, productivity boosters and tasty food options designed to heighten the energy level in any work environment. These healthy solutions for high-energy meetings vary from invigorating stretches and walks called "Fit Breaks," to refreshing activities like Bike Tours of Angel Island and runs through Tilden Park. According to Nancy Minges, M.A., Director of Restorative Fitness® at The Claremont Resort & Spa, "The Claremont has a long history of fulfilling unique meeting needs. Part of what we do is organize and implement personalized group activities to enhance group dynamics and keep meetings productive and expedient." In addition, The Claremont offers a complete Fit-Break menu. The list includes twelve, 10-15 minute refreshers, such as Energizing Stretch & Breathing Break; Perfecting Your Posture; Neck & Shoulder De-Stressor; Desk Yoga; Boogie Down; Interactive Ice Breaker and Games; Partner Stretching; Managing Your Energy: Bring it Down & Lift it Up; Desk Drumming; Eye of the Storm: Meditation Break; Harnessing Chaos; and Customized Breaks to fit any meeting themes. For those who want a refreshing outdoor break, The Claremont offers 15-20 minute Fit Walks on the beautiful Claremont property. Groups can take a brisk tour of the gardens, pools and other local points of interest. The brisk walk includes stairs, stretching and breathing exercises. Private Classes held before and after the meeting can be arranged and customized to fit the content of the day's affairs. Time spent together in a different context helps to integrate meeting content. Meeting planners can choose from aerobics, yoga, indoor cycling, world rhythms, Pilates, Rx for headaches, and many other classes. In addition, the founders of The Claremont's highly acclaimed LifeShift Program - Linda Prout, M.S., a nutrition therapist, author and popular speaker, and Nancy Minges - team up to offer a wide variety of Productivity Breakthrough Programs to give meeting groups the inside edge on reaching and sustaining peak performance. Programs range from "Optimizing Energy During the 11th Hour," to "Transforming Stress into Productivity," to "Fit for Leadership." Team-Building Programs are an alternative to help groups build stronger working relationships and collective energy. Whether it's through endurance hiking or trust-building exercises, team-building activities help increase interpersonal communication and motivational skills, improve conflict-resolution skills, and increase a shared sense of community and mutual trust. Executives looking to invigorate their morning or wind down their evening may visit the all new 20,000 sq. ft. Claremont Spa, boasting an exclusive line of "Signature Journey" spa treatments from around the world. There are separate men's and women's facilities, each with a complete hydrotherapy circuit, 32 treatment rooms (for massage, facials, body scrubs), two flotation tanks (The Claremont Spa is one of a handful of spas in the U.S. to offer this kind of experience), breathtaking views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Area, and an expert staff of fitness, mind/body, and massage therapists. As if that's not enough, The Claremont also offers Spousal Programs for visitors not involved in the meeting. Whether it's a neighborhood walking tour, shopping at San Francisco's Union Square, a Style & Fashion consultation with advisor Anthea Tolomei, or a choice of five golf clubs and tournaments, there is plenty to do when you're not working at The Claremont. Only a 20-minute drive from downtown San Francisco, The Claremont Resort & Spa was opened in 1915 for locals to escape the fog to the East Bay's sunnier climate. The only resort of its kind in the Bay Area, the 279 room retreat is located on 22 acres of enchanting landscaped gardens and features breathtaking views of the San Francisco skyline across the shimmering Bay. The Claremont features an award-winning spa, the area's finest aquatic facilities, a superb tennis club, and exceptional California cuisine at Jordan's, the East Bay's only Four-Diamond Restaurant.
