Family-Founded in Southern Utah by Cameron and Michelle Kelsch

Founded by Cameron and Michelle Kelsch, who began in 2002 with a small hotel spa and gym before building their custom 30,000-square-foot Ivins campus at 290 S Fitness Way in 2007 (originally Fitness Ridge Resort and independently rebranded in 2015 as Movara Fitness Resort), the property remains family-operated alongside their six children. Set beneath the towering red cliffs of Red Mountain, Movara welcomes both multi-week retreat guests and local Southern Utah residents visiting the Styled by Movara spa and salon.
