Girls' Fitness & Adventure TripThe Girls' Fitness & Adventure Trip is an opportunity to connect with likeminded ladies and take some special time out of busy life for yourself. On this five-day getaway, you'll work out in a supportive environment, try exciting local activities and enjoy the serenity of the luxurious beachfront resort. Join us on this active vacation for the mind, body and soul in stunning Costa Rica!
Fitness Two daily fitness classes will pull from a variety of disciplines including high intensity fitness like HIIT, tabata, and dance fitness in the mornings and then more restorative workouts like yoga and barre-influenced fitness in the evenings. All movements have modifications for varying fitness levels. Adventure: There are so many incredible things to see and do in Costa Rica, and on our retreat, we will have two excursions included to enjoy the country by land and by sea. On our first day together, we'll visit Rincon de la Vieja for the ultimate adventure tour combining horseback riding, zip lining, hot springs, and more! On our final day together, we'll celebrate with a memorable catamaran sail along the ocean with snorkeling, open bar and possible whale sightings! Relaxation: Taking time to relax and recharge is a top priority on this retreat. In between workouts and activities (which are all totally optional!), you'll have plenty of time to lay on the beach, go tanning by the pool or take advantage of the complimentary bikes and kayaks at the resort. Also, SUP rentals and pampering spa services are available for an additional fee. |
