Enjoy “The Biggest Loser” reality show? Now you can try it out by spending time at the Malibu resort you see on the show.

The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge Malibu is the place where magic happens. You’ve seen it on the television show and now you can experience it without actually being on the show. Unlike most resorts, this is not a place where you will be relaxing much. 

The Fitness Ridge facility is all about weight loss. Located about an hour north of Malibu, you can be a bit overweight or seriously overweight like you see on television. Either way, you are going to be abused [in a good way] as the trainers work to teach you new habits that will help you shed pounds during your stay as well as after you leave.

So, what happens? Well, you check in around four in the afternoon and get acclimated to the location and what will be happening. Then it is off to sleep. At 5:30 in the morning, you are up and at them with a breakfast of granola and yogurt. It is then time to walk or run for two hours. Individual classes happen next and then it is off to a brief lunch. Early afternoon is spent looking at calorie counts of common foods we all eat and how to check yourself.

By two in the afternoon, it is time for more exercise. We are talking cardio here. You know those images on the show of people gasping on the treadmills, bikes and other machines? This is the period for that. If you can make it, and you will, the exercise for the day is over. That’s a total of 6 hours of exercise and a strict diet that will have you eating about 1,200 calories. The end result? You lose weight. 

The Biggest Loser Resort is not cheap. Minimum one week stays will cost of $2,000. Longer stays are discounted. Getting in to shape, however, is something many of us need to do of face death through heart disease, stroke, diabetes or something else horrible. If you can put the scratch together, a week at the Biggest Loser Resort is worth your time and money!
