Thanks for joining Kim and Me for the weekly run down. This week, I was fortunate enough to spend most of the week at Canyon Ranch in The Berkshires with my mom and my daughter. Here’s a peek into our activities and experiences together there in beautiful Lenox, Mass.
A Week At Canyon Ranch
Sunday- Peloton Cycle and core
Monday- Peloton walk + core + upper body
Still keeping kind of low key to let the Prolotherapy work it’s magic. I am still feeling a little sore in my butt cheek. Later, spent some time out at the pool (it was a hot one!) before meeting some friends for bowling in the evening.
Tuesday-Peloton cycle + travel to Lenox
I had just enough time for a quick Peloton class before heading out to the airport. I met my mom and we flew up to Lenox, Mass to meet my daughter for a few days at Canyon Ranch. We arrived just in time to jump into a Therabody foam rolling class that felt so good after traveling.
We walked around the property a bit and then headed to dinner. I was the first one to fall asleep-they are night owls for sure.
Wednesday- yoga + stretching + BOGA Fit + Battle ropes + meditation + massage
It was a busy day at the ranch! We started with the athletic yoga, stretch class, BOGA fit class (may favorite of the day) a battle ropes class and meditation. Right before dinner I had a massage. I slept so well!
The BOGA Fit Mat class was a blast and my most fave of the day. I was the only one in there and had lots of fun with the instructor. It was really about relaxing and trusting myself (not always easy!).
Thursday-Cardio yoga + core class + Archery clinic + rowing class + Theragun class
It was another packed fitness day here at Canyon Ranch. I really enjoyed the cardio yoga class more than I expected to. Then, the 3 of us took a great Archery clinic. We had lots of fun and learned a lot. Later, I took a guided foam rolling and Theragun class which hit the spot after a long day. I ended my day with a facial.
Friday-power vinyasa yoga + Pilates + Tai Chi + Peloton cycle + Aerial Yoga
We enjoyed another action packed day at the ranch. I’ve been enjoying trying out new fitness classes and seeing which I liked and which I did not. I even fit in a short Peloton cycle to keep up my streak today.
The most favorite and fun thing today was aerial yoga with my daughter. Once I realized I was not going to fall on my head, I relaxed and really enjoyed.
Saturday- travel home with lots of delays due to thunderstorms everywhere! Flight was delayed 8 hours (its a 52 min flight!) so not sure when I am getting home.
I had such an amazing few days spending time with 2 of my most favorite people. I can’t be annoyed about the travel delay at the end. It was great to try new experiences and revisit some old favorites. More on my favorite activities at Canyon Ranch next week.

Wow! That sounds like so much fun. You are lucky your Mom and daughter will try all those things with you. I think I’d need to go for a girls weekend (hint, hint).
Sounds like the storms that delayed your return are the same ones that canceled my flight to BOS. Hope you are home now!
Deborah Brooks says
We had so much fun together. My mom did not do all of the activities that we did but we still took a few classes together daily. Yes, I got home at 12:30 am due to storms
Wendy says
That looks like so much fun! I think I would have loved that BOGA class too. It’s always fun to try new things. Glad you had this time with your mom and daughter. Bummer on the flight delay–I hope it didn’t dim the post-vacation glow!
Deborah Brooks says
It is always fun to try new things. BOGA was so much fun!
Marcia says
Looks like a very fun and relaxing getaway! How great to be able yo enjoy it with your daughter and mom!
Deborah Brooks says
that was the best part!
Darlene S. Cardillo says
Sounds perfect. I love Lenox and go hiking there a lot.
Hope got home safely. Crazy storms here.
Deborah Brooks says
There were some crazy storms and I finally got home at 12 am
Debbie says
That sounds like so much fun and how wonderful to do it with your mom and daughter! The storms here Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoons were intense. Hope you finally got home safely.
Deborah Brooks says
The best part was being with them all week! I did finally get home at midnight
Chocolaterunsjudy says
Well you sure packed in #allthethings! Sorry about the travel delay (yeah, it’s been rough here the last few nights — you should have gone home today!).
Looks like so many fun things!
Deborah Brooks says
yes, we thought about just going back for another day!
Susanne says
That looks like such a fun week with so many various exciting activities! Half of those things I barely know what they are, lol! How nice to get away on a trip with your mother and daughter too. Sorry to hear about the travel delays though!
Deborah Brooks says
It was so fabulous to be away with them both
Jenny says
WOW- what a cool experience! That aerial yoga looks fun- I’ve never done anything like that. So great you were able to do this with your mom and daughter. I hope you got home okay! I’m looking forward to hearing more about this next week.
Deborah Brooks says
It was so much fun all around! Finally made it home
Jessie says
aww, what a fun week with the family! Looks like a wonderful mix of relaxing and fitness! I’m so impressed by your aerial silk skills! I took a class once years back and I was SO sore afterwards!
Deborah Brooks says
It is very different isn’t it!?
Kimberly Hatting says
Awhhh, what a great week with your mom and daughter! I wondered about the aerial yoga…I’d be paranoid about bumping my head, too. I can see where it would be tough to relax with that kind of paranoia.
Deborah Brooks says
I was scared at first but they have great instructors and spotters. After the first few minutes I was very relaxed
Liz Dexter says
How lovely to have all that family time doing excellent activities. I’d be scared I’d fall on my head with that aerial yoga thing so it’s good to know you (probably) don’t!
Deborah Brooks says
the instructors are very patient and helpful!
Melissa says
Looks like such a fun getaway! You’ve been having a pretty good summer with lots of trips. How fun to get to travel with your daughter and mom. You are adventurous – and so are they!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, we have been enjoying lots of vacations 🙂
San says
Wow, Canyon Ranch sounds amazing…. and then to spend time there with your Mom AND daughter. How truly special. This all looks like so much fun and I am so thrilled that your whole family is so active together!
I’d love to go to a retreat like this!
Deborah Brooks says
We had so much fun together! There is a small Canyon Ranch outside of San Fran somewhere but have not been
San says
Oh, thanks for the tip! I’ll have to look this up! 🙂
Kim G says
Sounds like you had such an awesome week! Sorry about the flight delays – the storms earlier today were a little nuts!
Deborah Brooks says
the storms were crazy! We had a great time together thanks
Lisa @ TechChick Adventures says
How fun! I bet the aerial stuff was a bit scary until you get a solid hold. I had to Google what Boga is 😆 What a fun opportunity to spend with your family. Hope the trip home wasn’t too bad!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes, a great time. I am go ing to do a post this week on the fitness activities and explain the BOGA. I had a better video on my IG 🙂
Black Knight says
Glad you had fun with mom and daughter.
Sharing the same interests with our family is priceless.
Deborah Brooks says
Absolutely thanks!
Jenn says
Listen. This looked like the most epically fun week ever. I think all adults should get out there and experience a “camp” week or weekend like this.
Deborah Brooks says
I agree! 🙂
