FOUR SEASONS HOTEL DES BERGUES GENEVA LAUNCHES “IN CENSUS,” AN INNOVATIVE WELLNESS PROGRAM IN EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION WITH HÔPITAL DE LA TOUR IN GENEVA (Switzerland)
Including a personalised medical assessment, In Census combines medical expertise with physical and Spa activities to restore optimum health
Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva has launched In Census, a wellness program in exclusive collaboration with the prestigious Hôpital de la Tour in Geneva. Affiliated with the Swiss Olympic Medical Centre, the Hospital is renowned for its expertise in the field of sports medicine. In Census features a personalised medical check-up and assessment to meet well-defined needs and objectives. The program is aimed at everyone who wishes to get back into shape, escape the stress of everyday life, and recover vital energy. In Census encourages participants to take care of their bodies and get back into shape, thanks to a 360 degree approach that takes in both physical and mental wellness.
From the Latin incensus, which translates as “radiant” or “glowing,” this new program begins at the Hôpital de la Tour with a personalised health assessment developed in partnership with Dr. Finn Mahler, Specialist in Physical and Sports Medicine, and Dr. Boris Gojanovic, Specialist in General Internal Medicine. An in-depth health consultation with blood tests, detailed nutritional and osteopathic evaluations, muscle strength assessments and exercise endurance are carried out to highlight key areas to improve.
Once the results are made available (at the end of the morning), the Hotel Sports Coach draws up a bespoke fitness plan based on one of the following programs:
Detox and Weight Loss
Muscle Development
Sports Performance
Relaxation & Detox
These have been specially developed by Hotel Coach Sébastien Saillard, who has worked closely with the Hotel to create In Census. Passionate about biomechanics, Sébastien shares his expertise and coaches clients to give them the physical and mental resources necessary to achieve their goals.
In Census participants are able to take advantage of the Hotel’s superb location to exercise in a highly inspiring natural landscape, with treks in the surrounding mountains, walks and running sessions along the shores of Lake Geneva, along with hikes up Mont Salève, which offers sweeping views of Mont Blanc on a clear day. The program also includes a number of aqua fitness and water workout activities, such as swimming, aqua biking, aqua tonic and aqua boxing, providing the perfect way to keep fit and revitalise muscles without placing too much strain on joints. Other activities include boxing, yoga and open-air meditation.
At the Spa Mont Blanc, expert therapists carry out cutting edge treatments, from detox wraps to massages, to complement nutrition plans and physical activities. Spread out over the top three floors of the Hotel, Spa Mont Blanc is a haven of peace, with large windows commanding panoramic views of Geneva and the surrounding snow-capped mountains. Offering a range of treatments, the Spa has a hammam, a heated indoor swimming pool and a vitality pool with water jets to help relieve tired and aching muscles while improving circulation and detoxifying the skin. The state-of-the-art fitness centre is equipped with the latest Technogym and Matrix equipment for cardiovascular and strength training.
Meals are tailor-made, designed with carbohydrate, protein and fat intake in mind, while also taking calorie consumption into consideration. Produce is sourced locally, mainly from organic farms. Participants can enjoy meals at one of the Hotel restaurants or, should they wish to have more privacy, in the comfort of a private room equipped with personalised mini bar and yoga mat. Throughout the program, the Hospital liaises closely with the Hotel to keep track of developments. Participants are closely monitored from the very start, with a thorough evaluation and progress assessment taking place after 14 days.
