How many calories will I be eating in a day?

Daily intake will be an average of 1500 calories, barring special circumstances, in which a few people might need additional calories. We understand everyone’s body and metabolism is unique.

We mindfully determined this amount of calories to ensure we are providing the nutrients needed to offer the best results for the majority of our guests.

What are the hikes like?

The hikes cover a variety of terrain throughout the Santa Monica Mountains. We hike everyday of the week, rain or shine, and offer an optional extended hike on Saturdays. However, guests at Wellfit also have the option to stay back at the resort and participate in a fitness class if they choose not to hike on a particular morning.

Hikes last for about 2 hours and vary in difficulty from completely flat trails to rolling hills (some uphill and downhill) to all uphill. Furthermore, the terrain can vary from a wide fire road to a more rocky single track trail. No matter your fitness level or goals here at Wellfit, there is a hike for you!

What if I don't like the food being served?

We have a delicious selection of meal substitution items to choose from should you not like something on the regular menu.

Can I do the hikes?

Yes! No matter your fitness level, our hiking department is flexible enough to find the perfect trail for you. Hiking at Wellfit is not just about finding the toughest trail and getting the best workout. Our hikes are also about using nature to heal our bodies, minds, and souls.

We want to promote a sense of companionship with nature and with your fellow guests. We choose hike locations where there is something for everyone, whether you want to stop and take pictures, learn about the local plants and wildlife from our hiking guides, or be pushed physically to get a great workout.
