Accommodations
One of Ketanga's favorite places for a fitness getaway, Tamarindo is a unique town in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica known for surfing and low key beach vibes. We will be staying at the beautifully-landscaped Tamarindo Diria, the 4-star beachfront resort with three pools (two with swim-up bars), a fitness center, massage services, and a small casino. Plus, being right on the beach means you'll waste no time between a fresh and delicious breakfast and soaking up the morning sunshine. While the property is relaxing and peaceful, the surrounding town is full of casual restaurants, bars, and shops making for a perfect balance and something for everyone!

Testimonials about EPIC
"This. Place. Is. AWESOME. I've attended three full weeks now and it is totally bonkers how much of a difference it's already made. The classes are BRUTAL, but no one is going to shame you if you take a second to catch your breath or grab a sip of water. Everyone is so badass, though, you wind up pushing to your max just trying to keep up. The people that come here seem to be more interested in strength and power and ability than just looking "bikini ready" and it's crazy inspiring. This place is VERY into obstacle course races, so most of what you'll do here will prep you in a major way to participate in your next Spartan." - Megan C.
"This gym changed my life. That may sound a bit dramatic but it's the absolute truth. One of the great things about Epic are the specialties and varying disciplines that the Instructors bring from Julia's gymnastics background to Brendan's muy Thai history. The workouts have these specialties infused into the workout. Not only are the instructors awesome, they work with you and to what your body is capable of. It's not looked down upon to be doing a modified version of an exercise because they know you'll be able to get there eventually. I'm stronger, leaner and more confident than I have been in years. I owe it to this gym and the superb staff." - Alyssa Z.
