Acclaimed 7-day program will reopen with new safety measures, Saturday night stays and the addition of a private wellness experience in Malibu, CA
As featured in our May/June Athlete Issue (page 44-47) The Ranch, the healthy lifestyle company featuring acclaimed results-oriented fitness and wellness programs, is thrilled to announce the reopening of The Ranch Malibu’s signature weeklong program on July 5, 2020, with The Ranch 4.0 and 10.0 expected to resume by the end of Summer. Upon reopening, The Ranch is introducing new protocols to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff along with The Ranch Private, a tailored program ideal for those who wish to escape to nature and experience the lasting results of The Ranch’s award-winning program, but with a personalized approach that is distant from the other guests on property.
“The Ranch was founded with idea that health is the ultimate luxury. Now, more than ever, this approach is resonating with a larger audience,” said Alex Glasscock, Founder and CEO of The Ranch. “After weeks of home isolation, people are ready to go outside and move their bodies”.
As consumers begin to travel again, there is increased interest in destinations that will allow guests to avoid large crowds, embrace nature and focus on their health. For the last decade, The Ranch’s acclaimed weeklong program in Malibu embodies these three elements, offering small group fitness and wellness programs (each week is limited to just 19 guests) that immerse guests in nature and allow them to improve their health through an active daily schedule and plant-based diet.
Spanning 200 acres in the Santa Monica Mountains, the small group setting, spacious grounds and open-air common areas are an ideal respite after weeks at home and naturally lend themselves towards the new health and safety protocols.
Upon reopening, The Ranch will now offer a Saturday night stay for guests that wish to arrive before the program starts on Sunday or between multi-week visits. The Ranch is also introducing several enhanced health and safety precautions for guests and staff. All massage cottages will be equipped with Molekule UV air purifiers and housekeeping will be sanitizing the room after each guest, guest and staff temperatures will be taken daily, Ranch Protection Kits will be provided for each guest which will include a travel mask, Ranch bandana, hand sanitizer, and more. Stretch, fitness and yoga classes will be held in smaller numbers and transportation to hikes will be done with fewer occupants in each vehicle. A comprehensive list of The Ranch’s enhanced protocols can be found here.
With these increased measures in mind, The Ranch is also adding a new program – The Ranch Private. Whether traveling solo or in a group of up to four, The Ranch Private is tailored to meet a guests’ specific needs, increasing intensity or addressing any restrictions that may limit their ability to participate in the group-based programs. In The Ranch Private, all elements of The Ranch’s signature weeklong program including hiking, meals and fitness classes will take place separate from the larger group and in secluded spaces should guests wish to avoid common areas.
In order to maintain the intimate group dynamic for which The Ranch program is traditionally known, The Ranch Private is limited to two groups of 1-4 guests (traveling together) each week so as not to interfere with the larger group participating in the weeklong program. Even with the addition of The Ranch Private, there will not be more than 19 guests total on property to maintain a private and intimate setting for all guests.
“Our sequestered setting amongst a small group of fellow guests is the ideal destination,” states Glasscock. “The Ranch Private will be an addition for those who would feel more comfortable doing the program alone or with people they know, and for those who want a more tailored experience to achieve their personal goals.”
The Ranch Private is offered at a rate of $10,000/person and includes six nights and seven days (Sunday-Saturday) of private hikes and fitness programming, daily massages, private meals and accommodations. There is also an option to add a Saturday night stay (pre-program and/or in between weeks for multi-week guests) which includes meals, limited private programming and one massage at an additional $2,000.
The Ranch Malibu is offered at a rate of $7,800/person and includes six nights and seven days (Sunday-Saturday). This program will also allow guests arriving on Saturday to stay at the Ranch the night prior to program commencement, along with elective programming at an additional one day rate starting at $850.
