Self Love & Boot Camp

A wellness, fitness, and do-something-for-yourself retreat
​with Brenda LaMotta in Costa Rica

February 10-14, 2017

Self Love & Boot Camp

This retreat is all about being active but also having fun and focusing on the things that make you happy. You will experience something different every single day, from excursions to workouts to local cuisine and more. And whether you come solo, with a friend, or with a partner, you will leave with new friends, memories, and a greater sense of self love.

The fitness:
On this retreat, you will have the opportunity to take part in two workouts per day. Each morning will start with a HIIT-style strength workouts focusing on a different muscle group each day. In the evenings as the sun starts to go down, a second workout will be a little lighter and may include a jog on the beach or a core session.

The retreat:
Our accommodations will be a 4-star resort in the heart of the small surf town, Tamarindo, right on the beach. After each morning's workout, we will enjoy a delicious and fresh breakfast overlooking the ocean and then go on an excursion or spend time relaxing on the beach or at the pool. As a group we will be taking a surf lesson, suitable for all levels, and we will tour the tree canopies on a zip lining trip!

In down time, it's all about you! Enjoy a spa day, get a massage on the beach, go horseback riding, or just enjoy the sunshine with your new friends or on your own.

The 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 Coach Brenda

"Brenda is an all around amazing athlete and motivator which translates into her classes. Her classes are challenging and unique; you never know what classic move she is going to put a spin on to keep your body guessing and changing. She always offers modifications to accommodate all fitness levels and keep it inclusive, however if she knows you are capable she is going to push you to your limits and test your strength. Coupled with her great music selection, 45 minutes flies by with Brenda and you will leave her classes feeling accomplished and sore!" - Jen T.

"Brenda has been a fantastic coach. She always kicks my butt and gives me an amazing workout, but always makes sure that I'm doing everything correctly. I saw results after only seeing her a few times and I look forward to seeing her every week!" - Mandy S.
