Fitness Assessments
Bod Pod
The Bod Pod is the most innovative technology to assess your body fat and lean mass. Measuring your body composition is one of the best indicators of overall health.
Metabolic Rate Testing
The test will measure your breathing and how much oxygen your body uses. This tells you how much energy (or calories) you are burning. This information can be used to calculate your target caloric zones so you can learn what it means to “eat to your metabolism.”
VO2 Fitness Assessment
This test clinically measures oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate. These measurements are used to find target heart rate zones based on the individual’s aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. This test is designed to gather physiological performance data during a graded exercise test while breathing into a mask. During the test, the body is subjected to gradually increasing exercise levels measuring the body’s metabolic status and performance at each of the exercise levels. This test will identify ideal workout intensity levels. This data may then be used to define a precise, personalized exercise regimen to reach specific training goals.
3D Body Scan
Styku creates an exact 3D model then extracts hundreds of precise body measurements within seconds. Individuals can view precise waist, hip, bust, thigh measurements and more with an accuracy of 0.125 inches. Getting scanned is easy and harmless. Using infrared light, you stand on a rotating platform for 30 seconds while a 3D camera captures millions of data points. Styku uses a proprietary 3D feature recognition technology to extract measurements and generates reports to help track changes over time for future reference.

Hikes
Offered both as group outings and one-on-one exercise, guided hikes around 10 miles of trails on the Cal-a-Vie Health Spa property provide great cardiovascular activity; plus, guests are able to get out into the breathtaking nature that surrounds us.
Hikes
MORNING WALK
Our morning walk offers approximately 2-3 miles through our golf course and/or neighborhood surrounding the course. Combining uphill, downhill and some flat areas, you will enjoy this peaceful walk with one of our trained instructors.
MORNING HIKE
The highlight of the week for many guests is the Monday through Sunday hike and a perfect way to begin the day! Starting at daybreak, these hikes include a variety of terrain, multiple types of inclines and declines, scenic vistas, luscious chaparral, and a great workout. All within Cal-a-Vie’s spacious 300 acres, the trails range from 2.5 miles to approximately 4 miles in length, and are among the beautiful rolling foothills that surround the spa itself.
With spectacular views filled with peacefulness, the hikes consist of approximately 800-950 feet of elevation. You will be safely guided during the entire hike with our trained experts. A modification of the hike for shorter or longer distances is available upon request, or you may schedule a private hike for an additional fee.
SPA WALK (MULTI-LEVEL)
This walk typically happens in the afternoon, and is a fun guided experience around the spa property.
Another walk, that may be offered, is our Guided Nature Meditation Walk that provides a tour of the grounds to discover the local flora and fauna. If you prefer something a bit more strenuous, we offer different levels for a more rigorous experience which includes a long hill that is worth the climb for an amazing view on a clear day!

Cryotherapy
Also known as “cold therapy”, cryotherapy utilizes low temperatures as a means to therapeutic medicinal treatment. At Cal-a-Vie Health Spa, try out this inventive form of healing remedy for yourself.
