At This Hollywood’s Favorite Wellness Retreat, Six Almonds Would Cost You $4,100!

Celeb TherapyApril 7, 2021

Okay, this deserves some real attention – Rebel Wilson lost eight pounds! You can attribute it mainly to a specific luxury boot camp. Located in Malibu, California, the customized program for ‘long weekends’ where celebrities and every other participant needs to sweat out, well rigorously to be precise- is hitting the headlines.

Food deprivation characterizes the program, especially that induces vomit during hours-long hiking, gluten-free food. And if reality is the ‘sustainable results’ are achievable in just four hours flat! Talking about expenses- it costs $4,100 and is popular as ‘Ranch 4.0’. Had it not been for Instagram, perhaps half the world would not have come to know about this torturous. But this is a popular practice that most rich and wealthy people adopt to take a break from life.

What Is The Program All About?

There are “no options” in The Ranch. That is what the program advertises. So the trainers need to wake their guests latest by 5:30 in the morning. Then, walk through hikes that extend for close to 4 hours, and all these happen with just six almonds for company. That is how new wellness is defined, where deprivation is akin to luxury, sans choices. Transformation indeed happens, but only when the environmental conditions are completely controlled and, of course, a huge amount is spent in this process- but results are ensured.

The pre-Ranch life is absolutely in contrast to the post phase. Despite coordinators warning participants that it would be an excruciating and “uncomfortable” experience, it’s amazing how people still experience “headaches, nausea, and extreme moodiness.” No one stays prepared for it but signing up for the program implies giving up on one’s favorites, including wine, coffee, processed foods, and the like. The question lies- ‘is it worth it? And the best answer to this can only come from those who have benefited from the program, realizing how grueling times can often teach more than anything in this world.

How Different Or Similar Is It To An ‘Ashram’?

That is a dicey question. Those who had invested in it claimed that it is better. Few even stated how things got a little difficult at few places, and a ‘reset button’ was necessary. Among the most expensive boot camps, Ranch is undoubtedly fancier. The hiking nearby is like an ‘Ashram’ mode, but everything in it is for real. In other words, candidates had to share bunks and showers, and there was no ‘cell reception.’ It’s a housed property within the Four Seasons hotel, located near Malibu. Later, one gets access to the plush private rooms, replete with luxuries of variegated kinds – flat-screen TVs in bathrooms and bedrooms, marble soaking tubs, and all other wonders that would be apt for Instagram posts.

Now that wellness culture is famous, and celebs’ social media feeds to get the most attention, Ranch 4.0 Instagram only grows famous. And it is now something like a ‘badge of honor’ that showcases how famous the star is or if the program is suitable for the person. It also evaluates whether the star’s success rate is in sync with how much they could afford. However, there is zero doubt that the program is the best to ‘unplug.’ There is no unpleasant mandate guiding the positive vibe. So it is undoubtedly worth the time, energy, effort, and money you spend on it.

Who Has Made It To This In Recent Times?

Selma Blair, Connie Britton, Lea Michele, Mandy Moore, Minka Kelly, and Julianne Hough – to name a few, have taken to posting some of their much-coveted photos that made news for The Ranch (or maybe the reverse!). You can see them sweating it out, and these pictures testify to their dedication to Ranch. The celebrities have even stated how they miss those times when they are not entirely working out! Or the feel after losing 8 pounds- is simply out of the world.

While the initial period can break one’s mental strength, but the real test lies in that. Once the storm gets over, the allure of the program awaits. Apart from meeting fellow elites, making connections, discussing other ‘wellness indulgences’ and more, the experience is something to cherish long after it’s over. So, it is no wonder that there are so many celebrities going gaga over this therapy. What do you think?
