This is Debra Stefan's 30-Day Private Weight Loss and Fitness Immersion, her core residential programme in Las Vegas, personalised here with a Christian fitness focus. Christian Fitness is one of the specialty themes within the same 30-day live-in programme rather than a separate retreat, and each guest's plan is tailored to their interests, abilities and goals. The programme has run since 2008, originally as Live-in Fitness, and guests also receive a complimentary additional day or night.

It is a structured, results-driven weight loss and fitness immersion. Guests live in an upscale private residence, away from public gyms and crowds. Daily programming includes up to three or four hours of exercise, which may include outdoor training in the cool desert air, strength training with free weights, biking, and yoga or mobility work. Each day also includes hands-on meal preparation using whole foods provided by the host, teaching guests how to fuel their bodies properly, and many guests value the ritual of giving thanks before meals.

What sets the programme apart is its privacy and level of personal attention. With a maximum of three guest rooms, guests receive semi-private training adjusted to their personal ability, whether they are a beginner or a seasoned athlete. Debra lives in the residence and is present throughout the stay, providing constant guidance and coaching. She is a USPA Powerlifting Coach, a world record holder, an ERYT-500 certified yoga instructor and the 2020 Educator of the Year from the League of American Bicyclists.

The residence is in a private community on a golf course overlooking the Las Vegas Valley and the Strip, with access to a quarter-mile scenic paved trail. The programme welcomes individuals weighing up to 500 lbs and has hosted clients from 18 to 81 years old, including those using GLP-1 medications under physician supervision. Guests often come from overseas, from places such as Saudi Arabia, Australia and Norway, seeking a focused environment for significant life changes.

A typical day might start early with a workout on the outdoor patio facing the mountain range, followed by a biking session on the nearby trail. Afternoons might be spent on strength training, learning proper technique with kettlebells, dumbbells and barbells, and evenings close with stretching, guided relaxation and goal visualisation. One guest preparing for Marine Corps active duty noted the sled pushes, mountain bike climbs and summit hikes, while another appreciated learning to prepare meals with real food and to give thanks for them. The environment is controlled, non-clinical and focused on measurable progress, replacing old habits with a structured lifestyle that can be maintained at home.
