Discover the Ultimate Wellness Retreat with Mind Pump Partners in Park City

Have you ever dreamed of a vacation that not only rejuvenates your mind and body but also immerses you in the pinnacle of health and wellness technology? Look no further than the Mind Pump House in Park City, Utah. This isn’t just another rental property; it’s a meticulously curated wellness sanctuary brought to life by Mind Pump, the renowned health and fitness educators, and their exceptional partners. My recent experience at this haven was nothing short of transformative, and I’m thrilled to share why this unique retreat, built with the collaboration of top-tier wellness brands, should be at the top of your travel list.

My journey to the Mind Pump House began with a simple curiosity sparked during my participation in NCI x Mind Pump coaching. Listening to Mind Pump leaders discuss their upcoming real estate venture, I knew instantly that a stay at their Park City house was in my future. Fast forward a year, and I was booking this incredible home for a getaway with my fellow personal trainer friends. Utah’s allure is undeniable – breathtaking landscapes, thrilling outdoor adventures, and a unique sense of structured living that I personally appreciate. For us fitness professionals, a pre-planned vacation is essential, offering motivation and a much-needed break amidst our demanding schedules of client sessions and personal training goals.

Arrival and Anticipation

Our trip commenced on November 2nd, 2023, with a flight from Columbus to Salt Lake City via Denver. Southwest Airlines, with its convenient flight options, proved to be the ideal choice. Upon arriving in Salt Lake City, a minor hiccup with luggage was quickly resolved, and soon we were en route to Park City. The 30-minute drive from the airport is a scenic introduction to the mountainous beauty that awaits.

Stepping into the Mind Pump Wellness Oasis

Before I delve into the sheer awesomeness of the Mind Pump House, it’s crucial to understand the ethos behind Mind Pump. Since my early training days in 2016, I’ve been an avid listener, introduced to them by a fellow trainer. Initially, a “guys’ guys” podcast, Mind Pump has evolved into a relatable and indispensable resource for anyone serious about fitness. Their approach to individualized training, combined with my own geeky fascination with anatomy and nutrition, has profoundly shaped my career. Mind Pump’s influence on my coaching philosophy and business success is undeniable. For trainers and health enthusiasts alike, their podcast is a goldmine of knowledge, dispelling fitness myths and offering practical tools for a healthier lifestyle.

The Mind Pump House, their first real estate venture in Park City, embodies this philosophy in a tangible space. It’s more than just a vacation rental; it’s an immersive wellness experience. Imagine a home equipped with cutting-edge health optimization tools: a sauna, infrared lights, cold plunges, and a garage gym stocked with premium equipment from PRX. For relaxation, a hot tub and an in-home movie theater with plush seating await. Even sleep is optimized with temperature-controlled mattresses, and heated bathroom floors ensure comfort at every step. This house is a testament to Mind Pump’s commitment to holistic health, brought to life through strategic partnerships with leading wellness brands.

Wellness Partners Elevating the Experience

Mind Pump’s commitment to wellness is further exemplified through their partnerships with leading health brands, all featured within the house:

  • The Cold Plunge: Cold therapy, a cornerstone of recovery and wellness, is readily available. Benefits include muscle recovery, improved circulation, pain reduction, enhanced immunity, increased energy, discipline cultivation, and inflammation reduction. I embraced the cold plunge daily, gradually increasing my duration from 10 to 30 seconds – it quickly became my favorite amenity.

  • Joovv: Red light therapy, another powerful tool for cellular health, is integrated into the house. Joovv devices enhance cellular energy, improving bodily functions by stimulating red light absorption in cells. This leads to better blood flow, oxygen circulation, healthier skin, reduced inflammation, enhanced performance, improved recovery, and better sleep – a comprehensive anti-aging and wellness solution.

  • Chili Pad (Sleep8): Sleep quality is paramount, and Mind Pump Partners with Sleep8 for temperature-regulated mattress pads. Science confirms that sleeping at 62-65°F optimizes deep, restful sleep. Sleep8 ensures your bed temperature aligns perfectly with your needs, guaranteeing exceptional sleep night after night.

  • PRX Performance: The garage gym is a fitness enthusiast’s dream, equipped by PRX. Their innovative, space-saving gym equipment, featuring wall-mounted squat racks and plates, maximizes functionality. The PRX squat rack and bench setup became integral to my morning workouts.

Beyond the in-house amenities, we were treated to goodie bags brimming with products from other Mind Pump partners:

  • Organifi: Long-time favorites of ours, Organifi offers vitamin and mineral-rich drink mixes. Green Juice, Red Juice, and Gold Juice provide a spectrum of benefits from vegetable-derived nutrients to antioxidants and sleep support. My husband, initially skeptical, became a Green Juice convert!

  • Paleo Valley: Snacking is made healthy and convenient with Paleo Valley’s beef sticks and bars, crafted from natural, high-protein ingredients.

  • NED: NED CBD products, renowned for their quality, were also included. We sampled Mellow, a melatonin-infused water mix, perfect for relaxation.

  • Legion Athletics: As a long-time Legion user, I was delighted to see their products featured. Legion’s high-quality protein powders, bars, and supplements are staples in my fitness regime, and Mind Pump clearly shares this appreciation for excellence.

Day 1: Hiking Adventures and Downtown Park City Charm

Our first day began bright and early, fueled by EST time zone and excitement. Needing a run to adhere to my base building plan, we discovered Silver Mountain Sports Club, a well-equipped fitness center just ten minutes away. While the day pass was a bit pricey at $30, the comprehensive facilities and cardio equipment made it worthwhile. We even purchased a 5-pass for subsequent visits.

Post-workout, we stocked up on groceries, planning for breakfasts at home and dinners out. Our first hike led us to the 9K Loop Trail. Despite bear safety precautions (bear spray in tow!), we encountered fresh bear signs and even a growl, prompting a cautious retreat after a scenic 3-mile hike.

Back at the house, the hot tub and my first cold plunge experience awaited – a bracing 12 seconds! Downtown Park City beckoned in the evening. Its charming streets, boutiques, and restaurants were delightful. Dinner at Grappa, an Italian gem housed in a historic building, was exceptional, featuring a diverse menu beyond pasta.

Day 2: Glenwild Trails and Fine Dining

Saturday began with another visit to Silver Mountain, followed by a delightful breakfast at Five5eeds. This Australian-style cafe impressed with its coffee and menu. The Blackhawk to Stealth trail in Glenwild offered a different hiking experience – desert-like terrain with stunning views and a reassuring number of fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Post-hike, hot tub relaxation ensued before a date night at Riverhorse On Main. This fine dining establishment exceeded expectations with impeccable service and food. Steak perfection and a memorable ambiance made it a highlight.

Evenings at the Mind Pump House consistently concluded in the movie theater, a perfect way to unwind.

Day 3: PRX Gym and Mountain Lake Hikes

Sunday morning, I seized the opportunity to utilize the PRX equipped garage gym. A full-body workout followed by a 30-second cold plunge and sauna session set an invigorating tone. Lunch at Harvest in downtown Park City, offering similar but arguably superior fare to Five5eeds, was a culinary delight.

Our final hike led us to Blood’s Lake, recommended by locals as a must-see. Despite initial bear-related hesitations, Blood’s Lake became my favorite hike of the trip. The breathtaking scenery and lively crowd made for a memorable experience. We then conquered Mary’s Lake Trail, a challenging uphill trek rewarded with stunning lake views.
