Our Story
Since 2002, resort owners Tami Clark, Cameron Kelsch, and Michelle Kelsch have been successfully evolving their company. They first welcomed guests to "The Body Shop Spa", a weight-loss destination offering a fitness experience through exercise, healthy nutrition and education. During the early years of entrepreneurship, Tami, Cameron, and Michelle were involved in every aspect of the business. From hiking guide to kitchen staff, they worked tirelessly to build their company. Soon they had a strong reputation for its effectiveness, personal service and moderate cost. In 2007, the owners built a new facility equipped with gym and aerobic rooms, retail shop, salon, and guest accommodations and renamed the company "Fitness Ridge Resort & Spa".
That same year, the company received international recognition naming "Fitness Ridge Resort & Spa" as one of the top 10 spas in the world. It wasn't long before the producers of NBC's hit television show, "The Biggest Loser" took notice, too. After offering several contestant prize giveaways on the show, Fitness Ridge entered a marketing and license agreement with NBC. In 2009, Fitness Ridge became the exclusive resort to the television show and was renamed "The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge", supporting that both companies have the same philosophy in offering a unique weight-loss opportunity in a calorie controlled and structured environment with motivation from professional fitness experts.
Throughout the Resort’s evolution, the dedication to health and wellness has remained constant. Guests have visited The Resort from all over the world and have come to rely on the calorie-controlled, boot-camp style structure. The program works – and has created a demand so strong that the Resort is pleased to announce a new facility opening September 26, 2010 in Malibu, California, just miles from the Pacific Coastline. The facility is situated in the beautiful Malibu Hills, where guests will experience incredible hiking opportunities in a rugged, green terrain that is the perfect contrast to the majestic red mountains of southern Utah. Both facilities follow the same structure to provide an unbeatable foundation for your journey to a healthier lifestyle. The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge is truly the perfect place to reclaim your health.
