Your private fitness getaway accommodates guests differently than other adult weight loss camps.
However, you will become fluent in many activities that can be done in a gym. By the time you leave Debra’s, you know what works for you. Furthermore, you will have the confidence to hold your own in any gym or class.
Hence, the private fitness residence is not subject to public location disclosure.
Consequently, it is not open for public tours such as commercial businesses. In other words, the residence is not available to the public. Debra Stefan Fitness is a private residence and a discreet fitness getaway. Ideal for your home away from home, you are a houseguest for fitness and weight loss services.
To be sure, Debra Stefan Fitness adult weight loss camp won’t appear on Google Places. Furthermore, guard gate security requires permission to enter the private community.
Celebrities, individuals of high-profile status, and many others seek a safe haven. Here, they can go under the radar to focus on personal goals. Therefore, non-client visits are not allowed. So, you never need to worry that a stranger will come into the residence while you are in Debra’s adult weight loss camp.
First, view the accommodations, rooms, and common areas online. That way, you can visualize your private fitness getaway to get started on your weight loss goals. At the Stefan residence, the weight loss camp is 24/7, 365 days. Remember that booking in advance is key with only a few guest rooms simply because it is a home, not a commercial facility.
Above all, privacy and discretion are a promise at the live-in residence.
A unique discreet fitness getaway transforms you through a whole new set of habits toward eating, drinking, sleeping, and being active. Debra Stefan, your live-in fitness trainer, will host and guide you through losing weight while gaining fitness. The focus is not on calorie deprivation but on the proper nutrient proportions to spare muscle and melt fat.
Weight loss camp accommodations include all guest rooms as private (semi-private optional) bedrooms with the option of a shared bath or a private suite that contains a private bath. Two private suites are available; one is upstairs, and the other is downstairs. Please add $50 to the daily rates for a private suite with a private bath.
Fitness training includes activities in and around the residence. Favorite outdoor areas are a 5,000-square-foot sports court and a quarter-mile paved trail. Weight loss camp accommodations are your room, bath, and common living areas with WiFi. Also, grocery provisions come with your program while at the residence.
Debra Stefan Fitness offers a Live-In Adult Weight Loss Camp outside the typical commercial format. Therefore, the program is unique because clients can adopt new habits at home. Guests make healthy choices, learning to shop and prepare their meals to continue after returning home.
All adult guests can participate in weight loss and fitness conditioning activities, with some guests progressing up to 4 hours daily. Others average around 2-3 hours of training based on capability.
Food plans factor in the client’s preferences. The method is not calorie deprivation but muscle-sparing, fat metabolizing. Soon, new muscle tone will appear as body fat diminishes to reveal the shape of the ideal body contour and sleek definition. With a focus on muscle, outstanding physique results are possible. While scale weight is lost, the most impressive results can be seen in the mirror when physical attributes take shape.
Participate in the weight loss camp for at least 30 days for the best success rate toward ideal body weight. Establish lifelong habits under total immersion in an environment focused on progress, not perfection. Relax, you won’t find drill sergeants yelling. Instead, your personal coach is here to support your life-changing process.
The Adult Weight Loss Camp is a residential property on a scenic ridge overlooking a luxury golf course. View a mountain range to the north and the panoramic Las Vegas skyline to the west. Both indoor and outdoor activities are available, emphasizing the clients’ needs.

Visitors can count on an affordable fitness getaway to focus on weight loss goals. Since this is a residential retreat, overhead does not include putting you up in a condo or rental apartment. Therefore, you will find that costs are far below other options. In addition, your privacy is a priority in the secluded residential fitness home.
Debra Stefan is the founder and director, hosting the Adult Weight Loss Camp residence since 2008. More about Debra.

What are the Client Agreement requirements?
Unlike typical adult weight loss camps, Vegas Fitness Retreats offer a private, residential experience—not a group facility or public gym. You stay in a peaceful, guard-gated home setting with just one to two other guests at most. This allows for personalized training, total privacy, and focused attention from your trainer-host, Debra Stefan, who has been running her retreat in this exclusive setting since 2008.
Fitness activities go beyond the ordinary—bicycling on paved, dedicated trails through the scenic Lake Mead National Park, Lake Las Vegas, and nearby desert vistas. You'll experience the natural beauty of Southern Nevada while improving your fitness in a safe, enjoyable way.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, you receive customized fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle coaching with full support in a discreet, comfortable home. No staff. No crowds. Just your goals, your retreat, and your results.
This private fitness and weight loss retreat is open to adults of all sizes and ability levels.
Whether you weigh 150 lbs. or 450 lbs., you’ll be welcomed without judgment and coached with care.
If you weigh 250 pounds or more and wonder if you're a candidate, the answer is yes.
Debra Stefan has successfully worked with individuals weighing up to 500 lbs., using a proven, compassionate approach tailored to each participant.
Her philosophy is: assess, then progress.
You'll never be pushed into anything you're not ready for. Each activity is tailored to your individual ability, with a focus on functional strength, real-world mobility, and sustainable success.
There are no public weigh-ins, no gym visits, and no group pressure—only a supportive, live-in program that respects your privacy and meets you where you are.
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.
Two-way ground transportation to/from Harry Reid Airport (LAS) is included, provided by Debra or her private driver. The retreat is located in a private, guard-gated community with 24-hour security.
Baselines are set to work toward progress. Focus not on what you can't do, but determine your best way to begin.

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.
