    My idea of HEAVEN.

    The Ashram is the real deal as far as a hiking, yoga, spiritual retreat. The fact that it is the first of its kind , opened in the 1960's , is demonstrated by a well developed program. The experience and motivation of all staff , from the owner ( an amazing CAT) , to wonderful guides, staff, cooks, food , massages and yoga to be of the HIGHEST QUALITY. This is a very special place and I have visited many times over the past 15 years.I have compared this program to many others and always return. They have down due to years of experience. Highly recommended for good physical workout, clarity of mind , reconnecting with yourself.

    It's been one week since I left The Ashram and I'm still flying high with the Ashram glow (Yes! The glow... it's a thing!). The crew is getting creative with new programs (Japan? Yes please!) and we were the first group to tackle the "California Camino". The meticulously planned week was incredibly fulfilling. We hiked the entirety of the Backbone Trail and got a daily stamp in our book (provided by the Ashram) after completing each section as one does on the Camino de Santiago. The yoga (thank you Lulu and Samantha ) and massages took care of sore muscles so we could hike the next day pain free. They thought of every detail to keep us healthy, happy, and inspired. I am my best self when I am at The Ashram with all her people. I hope to return over the summer for the regular program. My cup is full. Thank you so much to Cat and the entire crew for giving me this springboard to jump into my healthiest self. You've been doing this for 50 years and it shows. The heart and soul of the Ashram lives within everyone who shows up.

    Hiking with the Ashram

    The Ashram has been around for 50 years, and the program (hiking, yoga, clean eating, sports massages) is supported by a warm, cozy community atmosphere led by Cat and her wonderful team. Whether you're seeking a health reset or just need time away from the grind, the Ashram is unparalleled in its approach. There are no fads here; it's not a boot camp. Every day you are woken gently for a stretch-centric yoga session in the beautiful yoga dome on the hill. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are light and delicious (and you can always ask for more if you'd like). The day centers around a guided hike - these are challenging, but the instructors can accommodate all levels and will help you every step of the way. Afternoons and evenings are filled with daily deep tissue massages, pool volleyball, and assorted fitness and other classes around various topics (sound healing, etc) Unlike other programs and imitators, the Ashram is truly all-inclusive with no upsells, no tipping, no nonsense. The team who keeps the Ashram running (from the office to the trails to the kitchen and beyond) have been there for many years - a testament to the program's enduring leadership. It's a community, not a typical business, and you will feel the love. You just need to pack a light bag and arrive.

    My wife and I joined Fit Body Boot Camp in Westlake Village and it's been one of the best decisions…read morewe've made. The boot camp classes are fantastic -- high energy, well-structured, and always a great workout. We also worked with a personal trainer, and the results speak for themselves. We both hit our fitness goals and honestly have never looked or felt better. What really sets this place apart is the community. Every time we walk in, it feels like we're showing up to work out with friends. It's genuinely fun, which makes it easy to stay consistent.

You won't regret it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ j & n

The workouts are just as effective (if not more), and they take less time out of my day. Plus, they're always creative and challenging, which keeps things fun and fresh.

Ryan has been super supportive, especially when it comes to nutrition--he helped me stay on track with my macros using the FitBody App. Joseph is another amazing trainer whose positive energy makes every workout better.

I first tried a free class one Saturday and then signed up for a two week trial which included an orientation with a coach to understand my baseline fitness and goals and help answer any questions. After the two weeks, had a check-in with a coach to see our progress and chat through future plans for our fitness journey. The coaches and staff at TruFit are awesome and have cultivated a great community. The equipment is great (especially if you're training for HYROX, they have all the stations), the gym is clean and spacious and has an outdoor space which I appreciate so it's never stinky. I love seeing the workouts before class so I know what to expect walking in. And as someone who has zero upper body strength, I appreciate the coaches for being able to help modify the workout to my level when I struggle but also push me to get stronger. If you're considering joining, just do it
