Testimonials
"This was one for the books! I loved every minute and looked forward to every day since arriving at the hotel. The hotel and location was gorgeous and fully Instagram worthy! Love visiting the various towns peppered in with cultural experiences. Tara was inspiring and knowledgeable when it came to the fitness aspects. I love that we were active every day but also had time to relax." - Julie
"The retreat was amazing in every way. I am so grateful I decided to meet up with 10 strangers in Guatemala. Each and every woman who attended (including Tara) was very unique and I learned something new from each person. Although we were all different ages, body sizes, fitness abilities, and at different points in our lives, we all showed up genuine and were able to connect on a deep level early on in the trip. The workouts were carefully curated/led by Tara and allowed us to have the perfect mix of stretching, strength, meditating, and conditioning. The adventures/experiences allowed us to submerge ourselves in the local culture and learn more about how they live. 10/10 recommend going on a retreat with Tara!" - Sara
