overview
Famed amongst celebrities and executives, The Ranch 4.0 is a results-oriented fitness resort that employs a 'no-options' philosophy when it comes to health and wellness. The Ranch 4.0 programme places guests into an active daily schedule of low-impact exercise and consultations with professionals to supplement a sustainable physical and mental transformation. Enabling long-term habit change in diet, nutrition, fitness and the opportunity to detox from sugar, alcohol and smoking, guests often see tangible physical results in weight loss, improved cholesterol levels, and increased energy.
The four-day Ranch 4.0 programme is a shorter alternative to the Ranch Malibu's flagship fitness programme, offering the same intense training on a shorter schedule and takes place at the nearby Four Seasons Westlake Village. Ideal for guests looking to kickstart or challenge their workout regime, the retreat offers eight-hours of scheduled wellness activities, including daily guided hikes, yoga, fitness, and a range of fitness classes focused on core, abs and weight training.
Guests can expect to leave the retreat slimmer, stronger, and with boosted mental clarity and energy. The Ranch is renowned for its fast and effective weight loss programme with guests shedding bodyweight, losing fat while gaining muscle due to the limited-calorie diet and intense exercise regime. For those not looking to lose weight or focus more on other aspects of their wellbeing, the programme can be adjusted accordingly.
This retreat runs weekly from Thursday - Monday
