"We are thrilled to partner with this luxury destination and work together to provide our guests with the necessary tools and inspiration to embark on this life changing experience."

The Biggest Loser Resort is founded upon five brand pillars: fitness, nutrition, education, relaxation and group camaraderie, all of which are heavily integrated into each of its destination-based weight loss programs. Every Biggest Loser Resort offers a safe, approachable and effective retreat where guests achieve results through custom-built fitness routines, nutritional education and stress management and life skills workshops, aided by the support of teammates and professional group leaders. Throughout a stay at The Biggest Loser Resort Palm Desert, a team of impassioned, certified counselors and coaches provides regular motivational and personalized training to help guests achieve physical and mental transformations. Ideal for guests at any stage of life, the program provides the knowledge, tools and confidence to achieve results and sustain a commitment to healthy eating, regular exercise and overall well-being.     

The comprehensive program offers results-oriented classes, activities and routines to positively impact the mental and physical influences on lifestyle choices. Components of the program include stress management through life coaching workshops, as well as a strong focus on physical activity, beginning with a fitness assessment and continuing with movement-based training through activities such as cardio, water aerobics, and outdoor hikes, among others. Dietary direction includes informative sessions ranging from effective meal planning and valuable nutritional education to cooking demonstrations and instruction on how to make healthy choices at the grocery store or while dining out.

Guests may participate in a variety of seven-day package options starting at $2,995 for a single room and $2,445 per person for a double room, each of which may be customized for corporate team building (pricing does not include tax).
