Canyon Ranch, the pioneering company that pioneered integrative wellness, began with the pursuit of wellness by a single man, long before the term "wellness" became common use. Since then, that goal has inspired a business, but more importantly, it has encouraged innumerable individuals to pursue their own individual conceptions of what constitutes wellness. Canyon Ranch guides your lifetime well-being down a road of proven answers with its four immersive destinations and integrated team of professionals. Mel Zuckerman took the key decision to change his sedentary lifestyle in 1978, long before the wellness industry became a multi-trillion dollar industry. This decision was made in 1978. He understood after two weeks of living a healthy lifestyle that he had permanently changed his life, and he wanted to assist others in making the same change. This objective was initiated in 1979 when the first Canyon Ranch location, located near Tucson, Arizona, initially welcomed guests. This pioneering wellness resort was the first of its type to use an integrative approach, drawing on holistic methods, therapies, and evidence from both western and eastern traditions to address the well-being of the mind, body, and spirit.
