Accommodations
Depending on the accommodations you requested through the registration process, you will either be staying in a private or a semi-private villa.  Guests staying in a semi-private villa will have a private bedroom and bath, and will share the living, dining, laundry and kitchen areas. All accommodations are located within the Shipyard Community and are up to 2.5 miles from the main Institute building.  Unlike some fat farms and adult fat camps, you will never have to share a bedroom or a barracks-like quarters with other Guests.

Housekeeping
Linens and maid service are provided once each week.  If there are any problems with your accommodation, please let us know immediately.  We will rectify the problem in a timely manner.

Bicycle Rental
Bicycles are available for rent during your stay, or you may choose to bring your own.

Clothing
The Institute is like a weight loss resort.  It and the island have a relaxed, resort atmosphere, so bring comfortable, casual clothes.  Shorts and t-shirts are appropriate for exercise sessions. Clothing items of this nature are available at the Institute Cottage Shop.  Bring at least one swimsuit for water fitness and a beach towel, if so inclined.  Dress for dinner is also casual. 

From November through February, you may need warmer clothing for the early morning and evening hours.  A lightweight rain jacket is recommended any time of year.
For all seasons, we recommend a sweater or the like, as the lecture rooms may be cool. 

Keep in mind that the temperature range is:

   Highs  Lows
 Winter  Mid 60’s  Mid 40’s
 Spring  Mid 70’s  Mid 60’s
 Summer  Mid 80’s  Low 70’s
 Fall  Mid 70’s  Low 60’s

As anywhere, the weather can be unpredictable on Hilton Head, so please come prepared.

Valuables

Items such as expensive jewelry and watches are unnecessary in the casual resort setting of the Institute weight loss spa or on Hilton Head Island.  We recommend that you leave all such items at home.  However, safe deposit boxes are available at the front desk without charge, should you need one.


MoneyYou may use personal checks for any payments made to the Institute.  The Institute weight loss spa also accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.  You may need a small amount of spending money for local shopping and personal expenses.  Since Hilton Head Island is a vacation environment, most retailers accept all credit cards and traveler’s checks, as well as cash.
