Train, Explore, and Experience Australia With Us on the Gold Coast.
Join us for 8 days and 7 nights of fitness, adventure, connection, and unforgettable experiences in one of Australia’s most beautiful beach destinations. We’ll be staying at the 5-star Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach and spending the week training, surfing, snorkeling with sea turtles, exploring Byron Bay, visiting koalas and kangaroos, chasing waterfalls, and creating memories with an incredible community.
This is not just a vacation. It’s a full week of movement, adventure, great food, and people who are ready to say yes to something unforgettable.
This Is the Kind of Trip You’ll Talk About for Years
There are some trips where you come home rested. And then there are trips where you come home with stories, new friendships, unforgettable memories, and the feeling that you actually experienced the place you traveled to.
This retreat is the second kind.
You’ll wake up on the Gold Coast, move your body, eat good food, head out for daily adventures, and experience Australia with a group of people who are excited to train, explore, and say yes to something different.
We created this retreat for the person who wants more than a typical vacation. More movement. More connection. More adventure. More moments that make you think, “I’m so glad I did this.”
The Grown Strong Way to Travel
Our retreats are built around a simple idea: travel should leave you feeling more alive.
That means we do not just sit at a resort all week. We train, explore, try new things, eat together, laugh a lot, and experience the destination as fully as we can.
In Australia, that means beach workouts, surfing, jet boating, wildlife encounters, Byron Bay, rainforest waterfalls, sunset yoga, snorkeling, and plenty of time to enjoy the Gold Coast.
You do not have to plan the activities, organize transportation, find where to eat, or figure out what is worth doing. We take care of the details so you can show up and enjoy the experience.
Why Australia?
Australia has been one of our most requested retreat destinations, and the Gold Coast gives us the perfect mix of beach, fitness, food, nature, and adventure.
You’ll get the ocean, the rainforest, the wildlife, the surf culture, the local food, the group energy, and the kind of bucket-list experiences that make the trip feel truly special.
One day you might be learning to surf. Another day you’re petting kangaroos. Another day you’re exploring waterfalls in Tamborine Mountain. Another day you’re snorkeling with sea turtles.
It’s the perfect place for a retreat that feels active, exciting, and unforgettable.

What the Week Feels Like
Your mornings will start with movement. Some days that might be a gym workout. Other days it might be a beach workout, a walk or run, or an active outdoor experience. After that, we’ll head out to explore.
You’ll have full adventure days, slower moments to relax, time to connect with the group, and enough flexibility to enjoy the hotel, beach, shops, cafés, or your own downtime.
The goal is not to run you into the ground. The goal is to give you a full, fun, active week where you get to train, explore, and enjoy Australia without overthinking any of the details.
Where You’ll Stay
For this retreat, we’ll be staying at the 5-star Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach, located in the heart of Broadbeach.
This gives us the perfect home base for the week. You’ll be close to the beach, restaurants, cafés, shops, and the relaxed coastal energy that makes the Gold Coast such a special destination.
After full days of training and exploring, you’ll come back to a beautiful hotel where you can rest, recharge, and enjoy your downtime.

TRAVEL
Flights are not included as our guests travel from all around the world. This approach gives you the freedom to select the flight that best fits your schedule and preferences. However, from the moment you arrive, we take over – handling all transfers from the airport to the hotel, ensuring a stress free experience for you. Once the retreat is done, we'll of course take you back to the airport.
Yes, we provide airport transportation. We'll arrange both your pickup and drop-off at the airport. Before your trip, we'll contact you to collect your flight details, ensuring we're there to welcome you upon your arrival.
Please fly into Gold Coast Airport (OOL), also known as Coolangatta Airport. It is the closest and easiest airport for the retreat. Gold Coast Airport is about 20–30 minutes from Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach, depending on traffic.
After you sign up, we’ll send you exact arrival instructions, recommended arrival times, and details for getting to the hotel.
The transportation from the airport to our hotel takes about 20-30 minutes, though this can vary depending on traffic.
With that in mind, we recommend planning your arrival before 1:30pm on January 25th. This will give you plenty of time to reach the hotel, get settled, and relax before the retreat kicks off in the early evening.
Of course, the earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to unwind and enjoy some downtime before we officially begin!
While there are no scheduled activities on the final day, we recommend booking a flight that departs after 11AM on February 1st.
To ensure a smooth departure, we plan to get you to the airport at least two hours before your flight. Since the drive is about 30 minutes, this will give you time to enjoy breakfast and say your goodbyes without feeling rushed. Plus, no one wants to worry about an early departure on the last night!
ITINERARY
You can find an outline of what to expect further up on this page. As the date approaches, we will share more detailed information with everyone who has signed up. We promise you won't be disappointed!
The itinerary might change slightly, but we will of course keep you updated in such case.
If you have any questions at any time, please don't hesitate to contact us at retreats@grownstrong.com.
You are most certainly allowed to do your own thing! We understand that you may not want to be around everyone 24/7 so if you find yourself needing a break, not wanting to workout or join us on an experience, just let us know. We will always give you options to follow our plan or just do your own thing, it's completely up to you.
WORKOUTS
We typically do a mix of HIIT workouts and strength training.
We'll be exercising in several locations, such at CrossFit gyms and the great outdoors. At the CrossFit gyms, we typically have access to a range of equipment like barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and pull-up racks. For our outdoor workouts, we'll embrace a more basic approach, focusing primarily on bodyweight movements.
What all the sessions have in common is their adaptability to suit your fitness level. So, there's no need to feel intimidated or discouraged by the workouts. It is all about having a great time, stay healthy, and most importantly, have fun.
YES! There will be modifications for all fitness levels, and participation in any activity is entirely up to you.
Across all sessions we have the flexibility to accommodate your fitness level, ensuring no one feels out of place. There's no need to worry about the intensity or difficulty of the workouts. Our primary aim is for you to have an enjoyable experience.
Not at all! This retreat is for all levels, ages, and genders. No prior experience is necessary! The main goal is for you to ENJOY YOURSELF! We will cater to everyone who participates, and we will scale each workout to your ability so everyone can join. We will have plenty of staff to accommodate exactly what you need.
FOOD & DRINKS
INCREDIBLE! What all our retreats have in common is our commitment to providing an excellent dining experience. We aim to deliver a blend of local cuisine with a diverse selection of other foods, ensuring a mix of flavors and experiences throughout your trip.
If you have any dietary restrictions, rest assured, we will make every effort to accommodate them. After securing your spot, we'll send a questionnaire to gather information about your food preferences and any allergies you might have.
Of course! While alcohol is not included in the retreat price, you are welcome to purchase drinks on your own at any time. Whether you want to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a casual drink during your free time, you are more than welcome to do so. If you are interested in exploring the local nightlife, we are happy to offer suggestions and help point you in the right direction.
OTHER QUESTIONS
You must be 18 years. Certain exceptions may apply. Reach out to retreats@grownstrong.com for more information.
The typical age range of our participants is 30-60 years old. However, we warmly welcome everyone, regardless of age. We've had many guests outside this range, including our oldest participant to date at 74 years old and youngest at 14, who both thoroughly enjoyed the retreat.
We've found that around 20 participants is the ideal number for creating a personalized and fun experience. On certain retreats we might go slightly over and others we will try to stay under. Each retreat is supported by at least 2 coaches or staff members, and we often include additional team members as necessary to ensure everyone receives the attention and guidance they need.
Yes, about a month before the trip, we create a WhatsApp group. Here, you can greet your fellow retreat participants and introduce yourself. It's an exciting time, allowing you to see who else is going, with friendships often starting to form even before you meet in person.
It's entirely your choice. We use WhatsApp for communication before and during the retreat. WhatsApp needs an internet connection to work, but our accommodation and most places we visit offer free Wi-Fi, allowing you to quickly and easily connect to the internet at no extra cost. That said, having an international phone plan can give you a bit more flexibility while you’re out and about.
No, we don't provide travel insurance. We suggest you make sure you are either covered by your current insurance or get a specific travel insurance.
