Nosara, Costa Rica · Jan 17–23, 2027

Train in paradise.

A week of daily workouts on the beach and the lawn, private chef meals, beach and pool days and excursions like a sunset catamaran cruise, ATV mountain tour and surfing. This is not a bootcamp. It's a vacation that happens to keep you moving.

The Vision

The people make the trip.

Every single person who came on the 2026 retreat said the same thing: it was the people. The workouts were great, the food was incredible, the excursions were a blast. But the connections they made are what they still talk about. We're building that again in 2027. Same destination. Same energy. New crew. You in?

"It was just so amazing how well everyone connected with one another."

Where You'll Stay

Not exactly roughing it.

Our private retreat sits above the jungle canopy with a pool, open-air dining, and rooms that actually make you want to come back inside after the beach. Comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, some balcony views, and the kind of quiet that only comes when you're surrounded by nothing but trees and ocean air.

Adventures

More than a workout.

Between sessions, you can take advantage of all that Costa Rica has to offer. Our schedule allows plenty of time for you to book your own adventures. Rip through the mountains on ATVs. Catch waves with a local surf instructor. Cast a line offshore and pull in yellowfin. Float on a catamaran while the sun drops into the Pacific. Or just post up by the pool with a drink. No wrong answers. Note: excursion costs not included in retreat package pricing.

The Morning Walk

The commute.

Your morning commute is a walk through the jungle to the beach. Zero traffic. Just monkeys, birdsong, and the ocean getting louder the closer you get. Not a bad way to start the day.
