Hear From Previous Retreat Attenders!

  • “Ruby Gettinger gave a sensitive and heartwarming presentation to students in the College of Health Professions at Armstrong State University in Savannah, Georgia. Her honest discussion of her lifelong battle with her weight was informative and challenged the reality of many of the future health professionals in the audience. "When Ruby arrived at our venue, we knew we had a winner. When I attempted to shake her hand, she refused saying "I'm a hugger" and she sure was. She either physically or symbolically hugged each and every one that attended the event. I would highly recommend Ruby Gettinger if you want a personable, professional, and huggable presentation."

  • "Ruby shared her amazing story with our church. I was in awe by her. Her story is more then a girl fighting obesity. I saw men and women, teenagers crying at the alter. Ruby story is about survival, finding yourself, loving yourself, restoration. told her amazing story of reconciliation, restoration, and freedom. Ruby's love for the beautiful acts of transformation in her own life is inspiring.”

  • "Thank you, Ruby, for investing in the lives of the ladies at our annual retreat. You are certainly the talk of the town! Your charming personality, your love for God, your affection for people, and your southern wit will always be cherished. We were inspired, challenged, and motivated. Thank you for being so open and transparent with our ladies. The world lacks truth, and you certainly speak the truth embraced with love. You embody honesty and integrity, boldly standing up for what is right and fair. You have the courage to keep going, the will to succeed, the willingness to dedicate yourself and to help others. Thank you for setting such a wonderful example to follow."

  • “I love the Ruby Retreats and I haven't missed one since 2015. I get to reunite with all my friends, but most importantly, I get to spend time with Ruby and the gang whom I adore wholeheartedly. I have cherished them since their earlier show, and now there new show is phenomenal and witnessing them in this new setting is truly incredible. You should definitely consider attending the Ruby Retreat because you will never feel alone. Even if you arrive at the retreat by yourself, you will instantly become a part of a loving family that will stay with you for a lifetime. The sense of community, support, and camaraderie at the retreat is truly special and heartwarming. It's a place where you can connect with like-minded individuals, share experiences, and create lasting memories that will enrich your life in countless ways.”

    Beth Winegarder

  • “Most of all what I got from attending the Ruby Retreats was a much deeper love and acceptance of ME!! My whole life I have struggled with it & finally I'm just more "naturally" loving, caring and accepting of who & how I am! It also woke up my passion for life & living! I'm having more fun, traveling more and taking more risks! My comittment to getting healthier and more active is ALIVE & WELL! I could never thank Ruby enough for her love & friendship, caring & support, and great "tools" to help along the journey! AND of course her Amazing Band of Friends! Can't wait for the next one, and the one after that and so on & so on! I'm hooked for LIFE!”

    Vanessa Stewart

  • “I didn't just attend a retreat, I found a family. Ruby is such a caring, loving and genuine person who gives us all of herself through her teachings....she is truly God's Masterpiece and He is speaking to us through her heart.”

    Kathy Freshwater

  • “After going to the Ruby Retreat I know that I didn’t feel alone anymore, and the loving and welcoming community is so powerful. Ruby is there for you from the beginning till the end and even afterward, still out there hugging people goodbye. She wants to know you, your story, and you truly feel heard and seen. Every time I attend a Ruby retreat, I feel a sense of community. I tend to isolate myself, but being there really pushes me to socialize and meet new people. I feel encouraged and strengthened. In moments when I feel like I can't do it, I know that others are there and they matter.”

    Kimberly Shelton

  • “I have loved the Ruby Retreats and have been attending them since 2015. There, you meet friends who truly understand the struggles of weight loss and food addiction, as well as other challenges. To begin with, I never could have imagined in a million years that Ruby would become such a close friend to me, almost like a sister. When I first watched the show, I fell in love with her and her entire group, thinking to myself that I had to meet this girl. Meeting her in person seemed like a distant dream at the time. I never thought it would actually happen. However, when she started offering retreats, I made up my mind to go, even though I was terrified to go alone as I had never been away from my kids. I was shaking in my shoes with fear, as I never ventured to places like that. But I told myself, "I'm going to do this. I have to meet her in person." And so I did. I fell in love with her even more, and it has been a wonderful journey ever since. I appreciate so much about her. She is present with you 24/7 during the retreat, always there to talk, interact, and make you feel at ease. Along with Jeff, Georgia, Jim, and Zach, they treat you like family. It has truly been one of the best experiences I have ever had.”

  • “The retreat changed my life in many ways, but the first one had a profound impact on me. Ruby began discussing food addiction, which made me confront my denial about my relationship with food. She gave each of us a stone and asked us to write something we were working on. I chose "serenity" because I was battling with food and weight struggles. Her intimate talk about her own struggles and relationship with food resonated deeply with me. It was a pivotal moment that gave me the courage to be honest and open about my own challenges. I now strive to assist others in their struggles, and I am truly grateful for the impact of the retreat.”

  • “I would encourage everyone to attend a Ruby Retreat as it will truly change your life. Not only will Ruby's words and authenticity about her own struggles impact you, but you will also meet extraordinary individuals that you wouldn't encounter elsewhere. The people drawn to this retreat are special individuals with remarkable hearts, and you will forge lifelong friendships and have the time of your life. You will experience a range of emotions – from laughing until your stomach hurts to crying your eyes out. Every emotion you can imagine, you will experience it for yourself.”

    Christy Word

  • “I am from Florida I had to be at the first Ruby retreat, and I can honestly say it was the best time of my life. I met some amazing friends, including Ruby and her group. It was so much fun, and I learned a lot about myself. I made lifelong friends from all over the country, and I eagerly anticipate each retreat. I love them, and now I even help Georgia in the kitchen. I just love! I keep returning to the Ruby retreat because it feels like family, and I cherish every single person I've met, as well as the new faces we welcome each time. I learn from Ruby about the positive and negative aspects of their thoughts. She had us go through a line, the positive voice told us we can do it, we are worthy, we are worth it. Meanwhile, the negative voice says you can't do it, you are unworthy, you are nothing, you are useless. I've saw people who appear happy on the outside but are struggling within. Ruby helps us with her teachings and reminds us that God loves us, we love each other, and we are all in this together, facing different challenges. That's why I keep coming back; you just have to be there. I've made friends for life, learned about myself, and enjoyed the company of everyone there. Whenever we come together, we are family.”
