The Adullam

These fitness & spiritual retreats are becoming more popular by the minute! They’re popping up all over LA and I’m seeing them advertised everywhere. With increased popularity of shows like ‘The Biggest Loser’ and an overall increase of emphasis on the importance of physical health in our society, it’s no surprise retreats like The Adullam are gaining popularity.
The Adullam offers a week of physical exercise, free time to relax and be at peace in the San Bernardino Mountains and a green, organic menu prepared by a chef (breakfast, lunch & dinner). The physical exercise includes yoga, hiking, resistance and strength training, and other fun activities like latin dance cardio classes! There are other services offered for additional payment like massages or personal training so you can get what you want out of your relaxing retreat. Let me tell you, those massages are legit! You’ll come out of the experience feeling lighter & healthier! The staff is there to help you work through your days at your own pace, while still allowing a challenge. You gotta get the most out of the experience! It’s worth it!

The Adullam was exactly what I needed for physical and mental renewal. Each day started early and was packed full of events, but each one made me stronger. The meals are clean eating and we had each one prepared by an expert chef. Many of the hikes provided a variety of levels as well as scenery that was breathtaking at times… Jenks Lake and the river bed.
The time I went, we also rode the zip line which was a first for me and gave a break to much of the physical activity.
Yoga was simply relaxing. Some thought is wasn’t intense enough, but I figure you do what you can and you push yourself. The yoga teachers were outstanding, however and gave suggestions to those that needed a challenge as well as adaptations for newbies.
Overall, I would go again in a heartbeat.
