Such a special place and program!  The Malibu location is beautiful.  The staff was courteous, kind, and very helpful with any of my requests.  The food is so healthy and so delicious.  The staff met me where I needed to be and increased my portion sizes as my goal was to maintain or put on weight.  It was unfortunate my stay was cut short due to the LA fires, however.  The staff handled it very well given the situation.  I look forward to going back as soon as possible to get the full week experience.  My heart goes out to all those affected by the fires. 🙏

Price - quality ratio 3 stars.

Keep in mind while food is vegan and well prepared, the portions will be the same for 125lb or 250lb person. Which might be odd from nutritional value stand point considering intensive mountain daily hikes on average 10-12 miles, fitness class and yoga (which I most enjoyed with Donna, who has been teaching for over 25 years).

The daily massage will be scheduled not at the end of the day to wind down as one might expect but before all fitb get as classes or in between.

The property is pretty. The garden is nice but mostly to show off organic status of the place. The Garden alone won’t be possibly able to sustain all guests for one week with all produce.

You are stuck in this place and if you like to explore this is going to be challenging to sit on one spot with hikes, classes and pool (too cold in winter, they did not want to raise temperature a little to a comfortable level not hot!). Also the sauna was not allowed to be used.

Overall the staff is friendly and seem happy.

Last day transportation was very disorganized. It felt that the program is over so you can leave and we don’t care about all the details.

Also,keep in mind that when advertised as a week program it is only 5 days. So you pay $8200 not for 7 days. First day you arrive and measurements are taken, lunch is served and property hike is done. Last day you’ll ha be breakfast and property hike and out you go by 10am.

A great way to kick-start healthier life habits.  If you can shoulder the cost, the experience is well worth it.  The staff is very positive and encouraging; the coastline and mountains are serene; and the diet + exercise leave you feeling fantastic by the week’s end.

One should definitely follow their preparation advice once enrolled. Those in my group who did not suffered unnecessarily. I would also advise using wool hiking socks and a size-larger pair of shoes to avoid blisters during the ~10 miles of hiking per day which is part of their program.

A Great place to get away and get back to yourself! It's a wonderful mix of working out and down time. The plant based food is delicious and the property is a beautiful oasis tucked away in the Santa Monica mountains in North Malibu.

Just the best! You can go to other, lesser boot camp spas and have your steak and wine with dinner. But not here. The Ranch is the real deal. Their program sold me before my arrival. Their management and staff, at every level, delivered during my stay. It wasn't an easy week but that's on me. The hiking guides supported me in every way possible. They kept me moving on hikes step after step, day after day, and encouraged me when I wanted to throw in the towel. The food was thoughtful and well presented. The accommodations were calming and peaceful. The massages were excellent; the exercise and yoga classes great. It was a beneficial week that, hopefully, I can build on moving forward. And I could have that corn and zucchini warm soup every night for life!
While The Ranch and its staff deserve high praise, their guests do not neccesarily rate 5 stars. They can be quite dismissive of you if you don't have anything to offer them when they want to network. I wasn't expecting it to be so many Type A personalities that wanted to market their companies or themselves. At times it felt like a conference for high achievers. As a retired architect, I had nothing to offer to all of these successful entrepreneuers. I was often odd man out as a result. I thought it was supposed to be a time to unplug, not time for networking. It's really something to consider before going here. It was at times painful. I would give one guest... internet savvy-obsessed, CEO of two companies, constant dress wearing (at The Ranch?), fellow Charleston resident, NYC native, Harvard grad ONE star. So thankful we don't run into each other in our small town. Different circles, you know. What I would give to have gone a different week and not met her. A famous actress would likely have been friendlier. Just CEO's, entrepreneuers, dog food company owners, physicians, S.F. area tech executives, trust funders. However, I did enjoy one NYC psychiatrist and we laughed all week long. Just food for thought before you spend all of that money for a week of potential 'rejuvenation'.
