Strive for Strength RetreatJoin Coach Chelsea Aguiar on a five-day fitness and adventure getaway in Costa Rica! We’ll push ourselves outside our comfort zones through high intensity workouts, a morning surf lesson and zip-lining through the jungle. Together we’ll challenge the body, quiet the mind, and feed our adventurous spirits!
The fitness: We will start and close each day with a group workout. Mornings will be dedicated to strength, and HIIT-inspired circuits training. What is to be expected from these sessions?
In the evenings we will slow things down for workout #2. We will focus on joint mobility, trigger point techniques, stability training, stretching, and core work. Each of these classes is designed to promote efficient recovery from the days activities. The retreat: After each morning's workout, we will enjoy breakfast overlooking the stunning Tamarindo beaches. Afternoons will be spent on jungle excursions or simply lounging by the pool or ocean.

Meet Coach Chelsea AguiarRaised in Santa Fe, NM, Chelsea's love for physicality and athleticism began at the National Dance Institute of New Mexico where she studied Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Modern dance for 13 years. Before graduating high school, she performed on stages across the U.S. including City Center in New York and the White House.
She attended college at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts as a contemporary dance major until a reconstructive hip surgery in 2009. 9 months later, she found herself 30lbs overweight, out of shape, and unhappy. In 2010 she began training at a kettlebell studio (Dynamic Fitness, Santa Fe, NM) and a new passion was found. Through "hardstyle" kettlebell training Chelsea became stronger and healthier than she'd ever been. Upon moving to NYC in 2011 she began working at Equinox, where she spent 3 years as a top producing personal trainer. In February of 2014 she left Equinox to found Athaya Fitness. Her experience with dance, Pilates, yoga,kettlebells, Olympic weightlifting, injury rehabilitation, and bodybuilding has inspired her to develop a unique method of training that works for all levels of fitness and is applicable to any goal.

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!

“Chelsea regularly mixes up our program, keeping it fun and always challenging. She takes her job incredibly seriously and that dedication really shows. I think she gets more excited than I do when I hit a personal best or am able to do an exercise I was unable to do before. On top of all that, she is a genuine, caring person with a great personality who is fun to be around.
