FITNESS (classes are optional and for all levels)
Mega Mat & HIIT with Erica: A challenging, core intensive workout, typically done on the megaformer or Xformer, but will be using sliders and other props to mimic the intensity of the machines. This class will target both the slow and fast twitch muscle fibers, producing maximum exertion and muscle fatigue to sculpt long lean and powerful muscles. High intensity intervals will be throughout to amplify heart rate. Beach Barre with Laura: Barre is a dynamic, full-body workout that blends Pilates-inspired movements to tone, define, and sculpt every muscle. This energetic class combines strength, flexibility, and a touch of cardio to boost metabolism, all while being gentle on the joints. This will be a challenging yet accessible workout for all levels. Pilates Sculpt & Pickleball with Rebecca: A full body muscle toning class designed to build strength, using resistance and high repetitions to define and build lean muscles. Will incorporate stretches and revitalizing recovery exercises as well. All levels. Followed by a fun pickleball tourney if desired. |

Guests will also enjoy complimentary access to paddle boards, kayaks, bicycles, and tennis or pickleball courts, offering endless opportunities for fun on both land and sea. Whether you’re chasing the thrill of a new activity or simply enjoying the ocean breeze, adventure is always within reach. |

Rebecca Harper: With over 4 decades of specialized movement as a dancer, competitive gymnast and cheerleader, and 10+ years as a fitness instructor, my mission with Body Balance is to help others become the best version of themselves through movement. Through my own journey of becoming a wife, a mother of 3 and a full time homemaker I know first hand how easy it is to pour into others while putting yourself on the backburner.
At the age of 35, I took my first fitness barre class and fell in love! I knew then that my passion is to teach others how to achieve balance in their everyday lives through movement. When your body is strong, your mind is strong. I have lived in Bentonville, Arkansas for 22 years and started teaching fitness classes in 2013. I currently hold certifications in XFormer, bootybarre, bbarreless, Athletic Reformer, Pilates Suspension Method, bootybarre Suspension, bootybarre Bounce, Pumped Up Strength, YogaBody Science of Stretching, BarreBody Yin Reformer and WERQ Dance Fitness. |

Testimonials
"I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoyed our retreat to Nashville! It exceeded my expectations! I loved that we got to workout at different venues around Nashville and explore some of the best places to eat and drink that Nashville had to offer! We had plenty of downtime to enjoy the sights and sounds of Nashville, do some (A LOT) of shopping or just relax by the pool. I think my favorite part of the entire trip was getting to know everyone on a more personal level. I’ve been working out with these women some for many years but never really got to “know” them. I loved getting to know my barre family on a more personal level. We laughed, cried, danced and left all our worries at home. You guys truly outdid yourselves! Thank you for a great retreat!" - Jen R.
"Can’t say enough great things about the MegaBarre Nash Bash! It was the perfect balance of exercise, group outings and free time. The hotel was top notch. Laura and Erica were well organized and everything ran smoothly. They made sure we all felt included and were enjoying everything. The best part was making new friends and bonding over all of the new experiences. I would do another Mega retreat in a heartbeat!!" - Nicole R.
"The Nashville retreat was the perfect combination of fitness and fun! I loved all the outdoor workouts we did while exploring the city. Being with a diverse group of girls allowed me to try new things I normally wouldn’t have done on my own. I absolutely loved it and I would definitely go to another megabarre retreat!" - Stefanie F.
