TRUMP INTERNATIONAL LUXURIOUS OCEANFRONT RESORT

The world’s premier health and wellness resort began with an A-ha! moment. On New Year’s Day in 1978, Mel Zuckerman, overweight, sedentary, stressed-out, with high blood pressure and a galaxy of other health problems, resolved to lose 40 pounds. By March 4, he had gained four.

Desperate, he fled to a “fat farm” in California, planning to spend 10 days. He ended up staying a month and changing his life forever. There, he met an inspiring fitness expert who had him running a mile and a half within 10 days. As a result, Mel realized that he had within himself the power to dramatically improve his health and happiness, and he recognized that he needed to arrange his life so that he could continue along the healthy track he’d found.

His wife, Enid, had long thought that Tucson would be a good place for a health spa and had urged Mel, a home developer, to build one. This idea, coupled with their passion for sharing the concept of healthy living with anyone who wanted to come to them, resulted in the creation of Canyon Ranch in Tucson, which opened its doors in December, 1979, to no fanfare whatsoever.
