Founded and directed by Jimmy LeSage, M.S, the renowned spa opened for its first season Memorial Day weekend of 1978 in Stratton, Vermont. In 1991, New Life moved to Killington, Vermont and has been headquartered at the Inn of the Six Mountains since that time. Just this month, MSNBC.com honored New Life Hiking Spa as one of the top 10 destinations in the world to get in shape. (To read the story, please visit MSNBC.com Top 10 Places.)

The spa also has received international attention after being selected by Shape Magazine as one of the eight best weight loss spas based on its realistic programming. It has been mentioned on Good Morning America and was chosen as one of the 10 best spas in six different categories (Hiking, Weight Loss, Fitness Programming, Going Solo, Cooking Classes and Affordability) by SpaFinder Magazine's Reader's Choice Awards for 2006.

"After 30 seasons, we're still going strong and empowering our guests to make major differences in their lives," LeSage said. "Each year, people from around the world come to New Life Hiking Spa and learn to take the necessary steps to create overall better lifestyles for themselves, while also enjoying the pristine scenery and fresh mountain air of Vermont."
