A Haven in The Heartland

is Only 90 Miles South of Chicago

The Heartland Spa, in Gilman, Illinois, is a private health and fitness retreat nestled in a warm country setting. The spacious 32 acre estate, on a secluded lake, is surrounded by a peaceful forest and miles of tranquil Illinois farmland. Enjoy an unparalleled range of spa and fitness activities in a nurturing atmosphere, with casual ambiance and matchless service. Since its opening in 1983, The Heartland has helped thousands of men and women, no more than 28 at a time, learn sensible ways to make healthy, positive lifestyle changes. Whether you want to lose weight, de-stress, enhance physical fitness or escape from the pressures and requirements of day-to-day life, The Heartland is your best choice.

The Heartland's Goal:
To help you establish long-term health care habits that you can apply to everyday living, emphasizing cardiovascular and strength training, stress management techniques, nutrition awareness and weight loss assistance. Our certified staff will show you realistic and sensible ways to make those health-enriching changes, all in a fun-filled, comfortable environment.

Choose your own pace
You may choose to follow the full day’s schedule of exercise activities, lectures and relaxation classes or take the time to rest and renew yourself in the spa’s pampering salon. Do as little or as much as you like - it’s up to you.

Delicious Cuisine
You will enjoy The Heartland’s delicious spa cuisine. The spa’s chef and registered dietitian work together to design a healthy diet that proves optimum nutrition can be pleasurable, practical and palatable. Mostly vegetarian, the low-fat, low sodium meals are supplemented with fish and on occasion poultry. If you require a special diet, we can accommodate you.

The Laundry Fairy
Your sweats, shorts, t-shirts, robes and jackets & rainwear are provided during your stay, so you won’t need to bring a lot with you. After your workout, just place your soiled clothes on a mat outside your door and the laundry fairy will replace them with fresh ones!
