Welcome to the only weeklong, results-oriented, intensive fitness and wellness program of its kind. Opened in
September, 2010, The Ranch at Live Oak / Malibu is a wellness and intense fitness destination retreat
dedicated to attaining and sustaining a healthy lifestyle. The Ranch supports guests through outdoor physical
activity, exercise sessions, and a structured nutritional diet of homegrown, fresh organic vegetarian fare. In one
intensive week guests will gain physical endurance, shed unwanted pounds, tone up and detoxify in a healthy
and sustainable way all while “getting off the grid” and back to nature.
Location
Set on an historic working ranch with a heartfelt place in Southern California history, The Ranch at Live Oak /
Malibu spans 120 acres of native grounds, hiking trails, picturesque views and authentic splendor. The Ranch is
located in Malibu three miles above the Pacific Ocean in the Santa Monica Mountains, one hour and 15 minutes
from the Los Angeles Airport. Transfers to and from The Fairmont Miramar are included.
Accommodations
The Ranch encompasses an organic farm, open-air kitchen, outdoor pool, and a spa and exercise pavilion.
Following an invigorating day, The Ranch's cottage-style guest rooms offer an inviting and calm respite.
Interiors are rustic yet refined, designed in soothing, earthy tones inspired by the Santa Monica Mountain
backdrop.

Program & Results
With a "no-options" philosophy, the low-impact weeklong program includes 10 hours of
exercise daily, with challenging physical activities that will prove fun and rewarding,
and a dedicated staff to tend to every need. While at The Ranch, guests time will be
spent in low impact, moderate activity, rather than short bursts of intense, injury-prone
activity. Each morning, guests awaken at 5:30 a.m. for morning stretches, followed by
a four- to five-hour group hike winding through the Santa Monica Mountain terrain. With
200-plus trails varying in levels of difficulty, guests never hike the same trail twice. After
lunch, guests are welcome to nap before an active afternoon filled with water aerobics,
core and ab work, weight training sessions, daily massage, and group yoga. Many of
the activities allow guests to connect with nature's healing elements, taking place
outdoors, or within the property's open-air pavilion.
The Ranch's highly knowledgeable staff supports and nurtures its guests, while guiding them toward achieving
the personal program goals they each desire. The Ranch is all about stimulating mind and body through
sustainable exercise which will enhance metabolism, cleanse and detoxify the body, allow for a healthy loss of
fat, and offer a heightened sense of mental clarity and serenity. Guests desiring to lose weight, routinely shed
unwanted pounds during the program while visibly losing inches, emanating a vibrant, healthy glow, and getting
a dramatic head start on maintaining a path of healthy living.
Cuisine
A strict 1,500-caloric daily diet consists of gourmet farm-to-table fare with French and American influences.
Flavorful and healthy, cuisine emphasizes fresh, organic ingredients designed to sustain and detoxify. No
alcohol, caffeine, or processed sugars are served, and special diets and food allergies can be accommodated
with advance notice.
Meals at The Ranch are a communal experience. Weather permitting, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be
served outdoors in the Malibu countryside, for guests to take advantage of the stunning surroundings. A
communal dining area is also available in-doors. Inside the open-air kitchen, Chef Kurt Steeber welcomes
guests to observe cooking preparations or participate in cooking classes, with the intent on teaching guests how
to make nutritious meals at home.

Testimonials
It's not just about the week one spends at The Ranch, it's the effect it has when you leave. I have continued to
lose weight WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING AT ALL. It is almost as though it has changed my set-point. It's like it
resets your metabolism. I was so sure, having hit 50, that those few extra pounds were something I had to
accept. Not so, not so at all. The joy at not feeling lumpy over Christmas is a priceless one. Thank you again,
guys. C.S. – London, England
Just back from the incredible new Ranch at Live Oak “boot camp” in Malibu 10 pounds and 9 inches lighter! I
started preparing 4 months ahead and in total have lost 30 pounds and almost 20 inches. It is amazing! I need
a whole new wardrobe. The best part is that my body is still in burn mode and I am losing more weight. It is
really incredible!!! This is perfect for anyone who wants to get in shape or spend a week focusing on
themselves, challenging their limits and growing their physical and emotional fitness level. J.E. – New York,

It has been over 6 months that I visited the Ranch, which changed my lifestyle and indeed gave me the
techniques and discipline to keep my weight down. I have now lost 32 lbs and received all high marks at my
recent annual physical exam. A million thanks and my regards to all. C.C. – Hong Kong
