For people who crave structure, Double Eagle offers a Lifetime Wellness Program, designed to help clients take their workouts into the real world.

MENU: Expect hearty meals like the Ranchero Filet Tip Burrito.
HE-MAN RATING: Three grunts—a luxe base camp for some of the best skiing, snowboarding, and fishing in California.
PRICE: From $275 per cabin per night (each cabin sleeps six), meals not included
