Your private Christian fitness retreat operates differently from commercial weight loss camps.
As a houseguest in a professional trainer’s home, accountability is personal and consistent. This retreat is led by a Christian trainer-host who believes the body is a stewardship responsibility before God. Strength, obedience, and disciplined action are practiced daily.
This is not a Bible study group. It is a structured fitness and weight loss program where faith is honored within the home environment.
As written in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Strength here is demonstrated through early mornings, measurable progress, and consistent follow-through.
The fitness residence is an actual home — not a commercial facility. The address is not publicly disclosed.
The retreat operates under a non-commercial business license and is not open for public tours. Guests are here solely for fitness and wellness services in a discreet residential environment.
The guard-gated community requires authorization for entry. Non-client visits are not permitted. Privacy protection is a priority.
All guest rooms are private (semi-private optional).
Choose between:
• Standard room with shared bath
• Private suite with private bath (+ $50 per day)
Only a limited number of guest rooms are available at a time to maintain a focused, semi-private environment.
Your stay overlooks desert mountains and the Las Vegas skyline in a quiet residential setting.
Training takes place in and around the residence.
Guests participate in 2–4 hours of structured activity daily based on ability and progression.
Activities include:
• Strength training (powerlifting foundations)
• Outdoor conditioning
• Daily biking skill development
• Mobility and corrective movement
Meals are prepared under supervision using whole foods provided during your stay. The focus is not calorie deprivation, but muscle preservation and body fat reduction through proper nutrient balance.
Obedience in small daily actions produces visible results.
A 30-day stay allows time to establish new habits rooted in discipline and consistency.
This is a fully immersive residential experience focused on measurable progress, personal responsibility, and stewardship of your physical health.
Faith is present but not forced.
The environment reflects Christian values of discipline, integrity, and responsibility. Guests are expected to be coachable and committed to daily action.
This retreat is for individuals who desire strength with purpose — not comfort without accountability.

All guests must review and sign the Client Agreement prior to arrival.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13
This retreat integrates Christian values of discipline, responsibility, and integrity into a structured fitness environment. The setting reflects faith without spectacle. Guests live the habits daily inside a private residence where accountability is consistent and personal.

This retreat is for individuals who desire physical strength with spiritual alignment.
It is ideal for men and women who value faith-based structure, personal responsibility, and disciplined daily action.

This retreat is open to adult men and women who desire structured fitness training within a Christian home environment.
Meals and nutrition coaching at the fitness residence are protein-centric focusing on promoting fat loss and sparing metabolic-boosting muscle. Please do not confuse this with traditional calorie counting. Balancing macronutrients, namely protein, fats, and carbohydrates is effective for general needs and requirements. You will learn to recognize foods as lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. See a sample menu.
Professional dietitians are not on staff and we do not intend to replace the recommendations of your physician should you have specific issues. Furthermore, this is not an eating disorder, alcohol, or drug treatment center. If you are looking for a place where your food is prepared for you by others, this program is not for you. The number one reason why those types of programs result in client weight gain afterward is because they do not empower you with hands-on food management. Coaching begins with a trip to the grocery store.
Small business no-refund policies explain why you need travel insurance.
Again, a small business relies on solid client commitments to keep operating costs affordable. So remember to insure your stay with destination travel insurance!
Who needs travel insurance at a fitness retreat? Think again before you waive travel insurance. Please don’t expect a small business operator to negotiate a refund if you book and decide to cancel. Likewise, don’t try to negotiate a rebate if you depart early. The business operator takes your booking seriously. Should you cancel, there isn’t a waiting list of other prospects to take your place because your room is no longer available. So, please understand that insurance is a wise investment when booking a retreat.
Destination travel needs travel insurance coverage for the trip and destination.
Protect your investment. Unforeseen events may happen, and there are no guarantees. When traveling to a retreat, your trip and your stay are investments. Think twice before waiving travel insurance. It is a small investment to protect the bigger ones.
Retreat clients must insure and protect their investments, so we will remind you when booking. Retreat business policies prohibit last-minute cancellations and early departure refunds. Therefore, your best option to protect your investment is travel insurance.
Prospective guests must contact Debra Stefan prior to confirming a reservation due to limited availability at the private residential fitness retreat. Program suitability, expectations, and preferred arrival dates are discussed in advance.

There’s no better way to mark your transformation than with a celebratory ride to one of the most iconic views in the Southwest. The Victory Ride is a culminating outdoor experience that symbolizes the strength, endurance, and confidence you've gained during your retreat.
You’ll ride along a paved, scenic trail through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area—gradually building to the grand finale: a panoramic view of the Hoover Dam from high above the Colorado River. This isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about knowing you earned the view through commitment and effort.
This ride is not a race—it’s a personal victory. Whether you complete the full route or choose a modified distance, this symbolic finish is tailored to your level and celebrated for what it represents: your progress.
