This was one of the best things I have ever done! I originally was booked for two weeks and ended up extending to 3 weeks. I was looking for a place where people were serious about working toward a healthy lifestyle through exercise and eating right and this was the right place! A wide variety of exercise classes for all levels of fitness, many helpful and informative lectures and the star of the show was the food. It was delicious, healthy and served beautifully so I really felt like I was being pampered. You definitely get what you put into the experience. I tended to spend the day with the people who were the most aggressive about exercising. The staff is great.....there is someone there for every personality and fitness level. There were people there from many countries that said they could not find a place like this in Europe or their home country. There is a mix of first time people along with people who have been several times just to check in and give themselves another boost. I met numerous people with major health issues and they did just fine.....all were feeling so much better at the end of their stay. I would recommend HHH to anyone. The have started renovations for onsite accomodations which will be very nice.....as well as a new pool! The only problem there is the price will go up.....but its worth it!

I have just returned from a two week stay at the Hilton Head Health Institute, otherwise known as H3I. I can start by saying that my original reservation was for one week. I felt like I was doing so well and gaining so much momentum on my personal road to weight loss and health that I would benefit immensely from a second week there. I was right! I feel better than I have in years, I am exercising regularly and motivated to eat healthy and to be and stay fit!
Accomodations are reserved through private condo owners and were well appointed, excellently maintained and clean. H3I is also breaking ground on brand new accomodations that look to be top notch and will be on the the Institutes own property once completed.
My days started at 7am and ended at 8pm. They were filled with sunrise beach walks, healthy breakfast, lunch and dinners as well as in between snacks, extrememly informative lectures-about 3 per day and unlimited fitness options also about 3 per day.
I made friends from Scotland, New York, North Carolina, Denver, Florida and even Greece.
The staff-Bob, Adam, Jen, Justin, Tia, Amanda, Carolyn and William were highly encouraging and helpful. Everyone greets you by name and it was amazing how quickly I adapted to my environment and felt apart of the H3I family.
I would definately return again if needed.

After reading all the reviews I was tempted not to attend the Health Institute, but then I realized someone who is more concerned about food choices, facials and other "spa features" was not serious about losing weight and changing to a healthy lifestyle. So I decided to check it out for myself.
I could not have been more pleased! The food was amazing, the newly remodeled facility is beautiful and the staff is so much more than educated and caring. They helped change my life. Their "get serious" and "no nonsense" approach to weight loss works. I attended a specialty week, Next Level Fitness and WOW they know how to motivate you; not only to believe in myself and what my body can do, but how to workout and not quit. Between the lectures and the staff I learned how to go home and be successful. I now know how to make low calorie healthy food, without compromising taste. And most important I am able to continue to do just what it says, take my fitness to the "Next Level".

Hilton Head Health Institute is not a good value. It is very pricey and the place is unkempt, badly run and does not deliver it's promises. I suggest going to Canyon Ranch or the Cooper Clinic over this yucky place.
