Who is a good candidate for Debra Stefan’s Adult Weight Loss Camp?

A good candidate is coachable, willing to train daily, and ready to adopt new habits in a private residential environment. If you can commit to accountability and follow structured routines, you will succeed here.

How long should I stay at the adult weight loss camp?

A minimum of 30 days produces the best long-term results. Thirty days gives you time to establish consistent habits, adapt to the daily structure, and build the lifestyle you will maintain at home.

What is a typical day like at the camp?

Training takes place both indoors and outdoors on the property, including the sports court and private paved trail. Activities vary based on ability and may include strength training, mobility work, biking, jump rope drills, and supervised meal preparation.

What kind of food will I eat during the program?

Meals are based on whole foods, grass-fed beef, free range chicken, wild caught fish, and organic produce. Groceries are provided, and you prepare meals under supervision so you can continue the same habits at home.

Do I prepare my own meals?

Yes. You prepare meals under supervision in the home kitchen. This teaches real-life skills you’ll rely on after your stay so the results continue long after you return home.

How much exercise will I do each day?

Most guests train up to 3–4 hours per day depending on capability. Workouts are scaled for beginners, older adults, and guests with orthopedic limitations, including joint replacements and mobility challenges. Emphasis is on rest and recovery after workouts.

What are the accommodations like?

Guest rooms are private bedrooms in a real home. Two optional private suites include private baths for an additional fee. The residence overlooks a golf course with expansive desert and mountain views.

How many guests stay at one time?

An average of one to three guests stay at the residence. Debra is the sole trainer-host, and privacy is fully protected. No staff, teams, or outside visitors enter the home during your stay.

Why isn’t the residence open to the public?

The retreat operates under a non-commercial business license inside a gated residential community. For client safety and privacy, the location is not open for public tours and is not listed on Google Places.

What happens during the introductory phone consultation?

We discuss your goals, mobility, medical restrictions, schedule, and expectations. This ensures you are a good fit for the program and confirms your readiness for a structured, residential fitness experience.

Outdoor Workout – Tire Flipping Exercise

Bootcamp Summary

Outdoor exercise classes at Debra Stefan Fitness retreat are available for spring and summer by appointment only. Private access for small group training limits how many can participate for quality control.

*Disclaimer: Not all bootcamp applicants are eligible for Debra’s outdoor workouts.

Bootcamp Exertion

Exercise readiness is the first step for taking part in the bootcamp workout. Registration requires an exercise readiness waiver. Therefore, each individual will work to their own capacity within reason and without overexertion.

Seasonal Bootcamp Classes

Since activities are outdoors, the schedule is seasonal. Summer class times are earlier than spring and fall. In case of inclement weather, we have an indoor accommodation.

Please read the bootcamp FAQs for details on what to expect and what to wear. Prepare for outdoor elements of nature as if you were going on a hike on a sunny day.

Fresh air exercise

You will not find another outdoor personal training workout that equals the variety of Debra Stefan Fitness retreats.

Should you prefer air-conditioning to fresh air, then stay in the gym.
If you are afraid of breaking a nail, mussing your hair, sweating and getting dirty, this is not for you.

Mother Nature’s cooling system

Sweating is your body’s way of cooling by evaporation. Movement creates air flow and cools the skin through perspiration. Especially for bootcamp, consider avoiding chemicals on the skin such as antiperspirant or deodorant.

The skin absorbs these substances into the bloodstream which is a process of transdermal ingestion. Please be careful what you put on your skin, your scalp, and your nails. Transdermal absorption delivers it all directly into the bloodstream.

Sweat it out

Whatever your body excretes by way of sweat is purifying. Keep sweating.
