The bargain priced Gentry Retreats looks to help augment their members travel experiences but now is also looking after their health.

"Gentry Retreats is working exclusively with Rippe Health Assessment to encourage our Members to live long, healthy lives. Just as you are investing in a lifetime of incredible vacations with Gentry Retreats, with Rippe Health Assessment you are investing in your health to last a lifetime. They are both necessary luxuries," the club's website says.

Gentry Retreats is suggesting that members spend a day with the Rippe Health Assessment team and undergo a comprehensive health exam. Results are returned that same day and the Rippe Health Assessment will offer suggestions on health, exercise, and stress management based on the results. Gentry Retreats members will receive a preferred membership rate with Rippe Health Assessment.

According to one study, over a quarter of Americans don't take vacations, and those that don't are more likely to suffer a heart attack, suffer from other heart problems, or have other physical ailments. As Gentry Retreats states, "Don't you owe it to yourself and your family to make an investment in healthy, happy future?"

Gentry Retreats is one of the growing number of destination clubs that operate at the "value level" within the destination club sector. Homes are valued at under the $1 million price range and the club primarily competes against growing clubs Private Escapes and the newly launched High Country Club.

Launched last year, Gentry Retreats requires a membership deposit that is 85% refundable with annual dues ranging between $3,000 and $6,000.
