LGBTQ Summer PreviewWhat is a better way to get your summer body, mind, and inner FITNUT in check than a few days away with some like-minded fitness, sun, and sand seekers BEFORE summer hits!
Come to play and work out hard in Guanacaste, Costa Rica with challenging workouts, land and water excursions, and local food and drink during this 4 night / 5 day LGBTQ retreat in a gorgeous 4 star resort on the prestigious Gulf of Papagayo. PLUS, 10% of the proceeds from this trip will be donated to The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the largest LGBTQ civil rights advocacy group in the United States. FITNUT will also match the donation and also give to the Cambodian Community Dream Organization (CCDO), an NGO in Siem Reap Cambodia focusing on clean water, education, and wellness for locals. Fitness: The morning workouts will be intense, full-body blasting group sessions with functional HIIT, plyometrics, Tabata, and strength training. The evening workouts will be more restorative and prep focused. Private one-on-one will also be available upon request for an additional fee. Adventure: There are so many incredible things to see and do in Costa Rica, and on our retreat, we will have two excursions included (though optional) to enjoy the country by land and by sea. We will go on an exhilarating adventure tour with zip lining and horseback riding followed by hot springs on one day, and on another we will sail on a catamaran for a sunset tour with lunch, open bar, snorkeling, and a possible whale sighting! Relaxation: We will enjoy workouts and activities throughout the retreat, but just as important is our down time to relax! At our resort, we can sit by the pool, swim in the ocean, and lay out in the sun. There are also complimentary bikes and kayaks as well as SUP rentals available to you. And of course, the gorgeous spa is at your fingertips (with a 15% savings!) |

Meet Coach Josh Grimm
|
Josh has been training and coaching private clients in New York and Los Angeles for almost ten years, helping them to achieve superb results in strength building, weight management, toning, conditioning, and corrective rehabilitation.
Being well versed in resistance and functional training, Kempo karate, plyometrics, boxing, and bodybuilding, Josh strategically pushes clients in a multi-dimensional training style. Josh developed his brand, FITNUT, after beginning six months of volunteer work in Cambodia at children's orphanage houses. The children's strong will and positive energy motivated him to bring some of that into his work. His passion for travel and giving back is what drives his brand and motivates him to be the best trainer he can be for his clients, and he donates 5% of his earnings to charities. Josh has visited 40 different countries over the past seven years which he feels makes him marketable and accessible to a multitude of clients. Today, he is an ambassador to the Cambodian Community Dream Organization in Siem Ream, Cambodia and on the board of hu:MANE – a charity co-founded by his partner and others that give back worldwide via mission work to the impoverished. Josh Grimm is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer and a International Board of Nutrition and Fitness Coaching (IBNFC) Licensed Nutrition Counselor from the Venice Nutrition Medical Board. |

Testimonials about Coach Josh
"Josh transformed my body - and overhauled the way I work out! I've had a lot of trainers over the years, but with his expert knowledge of fitness, only Josh was able to diagnose and teach me what I needed to work on to actually achieve my fitness goals. Where most trainers focus on exercises and muscle groups, Josh sees the whole picture. His focus on my body--as a whole--allowed me to improve not just look and tone, but the way I feel." - Alexander C.
"Training with Josh has gotten me closer to my fitness goals than ever before. The workouts are challenging and Josh pushes me with patience, while at the same time keeping me inspired and enthusiastic about working out. The changes in my body are exactly what I initially explained to Josh I wanted to achieve - his knowledge and passion for fitness is unsurpassed, the result has given me confidence and a better understanding of how my body works." - Jason
"Josh is the best and most challenging fitness trainer that I have worked with. I was able to sit down with him at the beginning to discuss goals for myself - both fitness and nutrition, which I had never experienced with a trainer. Workouts are always interesting, fun, and challenging. I have been able to achieve several long term goals thanks to Josh's guidance and devotion." - David
