If your question isn’t one of the FAQs below, our friendly, “No pressure” coordinators will be happy to answer any questions you might have about our life-changing fitness program. Our toll free number is 866-589-5615.
We are open 365 days a year and each Sunday is a new start date. The program starts on Sunday and ends on Sunday, however you are welcome to depart on Saturday evening if that works better for you.
Because of our small class size, we fill up FAST! Normally, we are full three weeks out, but you may request to be added to a wait list if your desired start date is full and we will do our best to accommodate.
Check-in between 2:00 PM-4:30 PM, you may arrive earlier, but your room may not be ready until 2:00 PM.
Check-out anytime by noon on Sunday. Breakfast is included on your departing day.
Unite is the right fit for someone wanting a structured environment. It’s not a “choose your own activity” type of program. From 6:00 am to 7:30 pm, your schedule is outlined and planned for you. Of course, we pencil in time for rejuvenation and personal time each day. Another key point, Unite is for someone wanting a small group dynamic, we never have more than 30 guests at camp, that way we can give everyone personalized care and attention. Finally, Unite is for someone ready to work hard and make real progress. The fitness aspect of the program is quite intense, however, we can modify the program to fit all levels. Ultimately, we want to welcome those who are ready to commit to their health and ready to make lifestyle changes.
Unite Fitness Retreat is located in Salt Lake City, Utah at the base of the Wasatch Mountain Range. We are in a beautiful, recreational area.

Yes, we are pet friendly and your furry friend is welcome to join you! We offer pet friendly rooms at our sister property next door at the Hyatt House for an extra $50/night. There are many times throughout the day to let your pet out for walks and Salt Lake has numerous dog parks and dog friendly hiking trails.
Sadly, not all of us can disconnect from work 100% while participating in the program. Don’t worry, we get it. Many of our guests who attend (especially) long term stays, must work while at Unite. You will have time to get it all done and still participate in the majority of programming. You will have a desk in your room, free wi-fi, and a business center for your convenience.

This is one of the most common questions we get asked, and for good reason. Everyone makes progress at camp, it’s inevitable. You have fitness trainers guiding your exercise, you have chefs preparing perfectly proportioned meals, you have a therapist working with you to combat stress and change behaviors- How can you not succeed while in this structured atmosphere?
