Testimonials From Our Clients
I found Stacy and Ketanga Fitness Retreats in 2018 when I hosted a retreat in Tulum for my local training clients. Over the last 6 years I have hosted 16 retreats. It is a dream come true to be able to combine my passion for fitness with my wanderlust. Thanks to Ketanga I am able to travel the world teaching fitness and leading amazing adventures.
Stacy and Ketanga do an incredible job of curating the perfect trip and I have been fortunate enough to not only travel more but to generate another stream of revenue for my fitness business.
Not only have I met amazing new friends and clients while leading retreats, I have started to build what I refer to as my “retreat family”. The entire experience has been incredible and I look forward to exploring new places every year!
I highly recommend Ketanga for your next retreat!
- Beth R.
Ketanga was a huge help in planning our first fitness retreat. Stacy was knowledgeable, attentive and informative. She made our retreat smooth and seamless. I would recommend Ketanga to any fitness studio looking to book a fitness retreat for their clients.
-Mandy K.
Ketanga Fitness helped us plan our first retreat and it was a huge success! Stacy was very helpful with coordinating everything start to finish and coming up with the perfect itinerary. Would recommend to anyone looking to plan or join a fitness retreat.
-Rachael H.
I teamed up with Ketanga Fitness to host my first of many fitness retreats. Ketanga creates an absolute SEAMLESS itinerary for me and my guests in Costa Rica. My team was completely blown away by the quality of excursions, accommodations, itinerary, and professionalism. From start to finish, it is a 5 Star service. I was a coach on my first trip with Ketanga but I would join any retreat offered as a guest. If you are looking and deciding... have zero hesitation!
-Josh G.
This was my first time ever leading a Yoga Retreat. Ketanga Fitness made the entire experience so incredible. It was so easy to work for them. All of the activities were well thought out and organized. I can't wait to work with Ketanga again and again. If you are an instructor/teacher or trainer and love adventure and travel, I highly suggest reaching out. I had an excellent experience leading my retreat with Ketanga!
-Britney B.
Leading retreats for Ketanga Fitness has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Organizing and guiding participants through a holistic fitness journey was an honor, and witnessing the transformations that took place in a matter of days was beyond fulfilling.
I have had the pleasure to lead four different retreats for Ketanga Fitness Retreats and each one has been a memorable experience. I am grateful to have connected with people from all over the country.
Each retreat has been uniquely designed. From the moment we started, the group’s energy was infectious. Every participant was committed, motivated, and open to new new experiences. I aimed to create a balanced program that not only pushed people to their fitness limits but also taught sustainable habits for lasting wellness. Through tailored workouts, mindfulness sessions, and personalized coaching, the group bonded and supported each other, creating a powerful sense of community.
- Sarah G.
I worked with Ketanga to plan my first Fitness, Fun & Adventure Retreat, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. I was able to focus on my participants and the overall experience while Stacy and Ketanga took care of the logistics. Stacy's extensive retreat experience, recommendations, flexibility, and support helped make my first retreat an incredible success.
I am already looking forward to my next adventure and will absolutely use Ketanga's services again. If you are considering working with Ketanga, I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

I worked with Stacy to plan a fabulous retreat in Costa Rica. Stacy is very communicative from start to finish. She never left a question unanswered or a request unfulfilled. The whole process was so easy as Stacy basically does it all! She took the stress and guesswork out of the retreat planning process. I would highly recommend using Ketanga for retreat planning or joining one of their many retreats! |

I recently hosted a Fitness Food & Fun retreat in Costa Rica with Ketanga as a fitness coach and chef and the entire experience surpassed my expectations. Not only was Stacy incredibly helpful and responsive, but she made the trip truly unique and special due to her knowledge of the culture, local spots, and outstanding activities. |

If you're looking to combine your coaching, leadership and love of travel and take it to the next level then Ketanga Fitness can help you achieve this goal. Stacy loves what she does and it shows. She works hard to find the best locations, she establishes solid relationships with reputable vendors and she takes care of all the little details so that you, as a coach, can focus on you and your clients having the best experience possible. She is great to work with and I look forward to planning another adventure with Ketanga in the future! |

I used Ketanga to plan my first international retreat and I couldn't have been happier about the decision. Stacy planned every last detail of the retreat so I could focus on marketing it to my community and attracting participants. She kept me in the loop, made sure I was confident in executing and all the logistics of the trip were smooth from start to finish. I've already booked the same retreat again for 2018! |

I can't begin to describe how I am feeling post-trip, and I'm not talking about the sunburn ;-). This was an incredible experience and I am overwhelmed with positivity, and inspiration. Above all, I am eternally grateful to Ketanga for making my dreams a reality. Because of you, we were able to create something very special and I CAN'T WAIT to do it again. I think that 2.0 is going to be off the charts! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me an opportunity to teach in paradise alongside my brilliant mother. This was a very special trip for me in more ways than one and I never could have done it without you! |

I just hosted my first fitness retreat here in Costa Rica. It was amazing and this is something I’ve been wanting to do for many many years because I love to travel, and to travel and get to do my job is the best thing ever. It was an awesome experience we got to use the whole grounds: the beach, the grass, the steps, the surfing lessons, the zip lining, and it was an awesome way to get to know my clients even more, laugh, and have a lot of fun stories to take back to the cold city. I definitely recommend this, and I hope you do it! |

I think [leading a fitness retreat] is a great way to get to know your clients even better and truly bond. It is a very unique experience to not be consumed with your daily life and be able to focus on health, restoration and fitness. It was awesome, and now that I have returned I have many clients interested in the next trip! |
