Train. Race. Recover. Explore.
Eight days in Thailand built around fitness, adventure, incredible food, and an unforgettable group of people.
This is NOT an elite training camp.
It’s a week for people who love to workout, need a vacation fully planned for, and want to experience the growing world of hybrid fitness alongside a community that makes the entire experience even better.
A Different Kind of Fitness Retreat
Imagine waking up on a tropical island, grabbing breakfast with a group of people who quickly start to feel like old friends, then heading into a coached workout at one of the most impressive training facilities in Thailand.
Every day we’ll get a workout in.
Every day we’ll explore Koh Samui.
And throughout the week, we’ll find plenty of time for good food, recovery, beaches, sunsets, and everything else that makes Thailand special.
This retreat combines the community and adventure of a Grown Strong Retreat with a bigger focus on hybrid style training. You don't have to be an advanced athlete to come. You just have to enjoy Hyrox and be ready for a really good week.
Training In Paradise
This week the training will look a little different than our traditional retreats.
Throughout the retreat, we'll work on the different pieces that make hybrid fitness so much fun:
- Running and pacing
- Sled pushes and pulls
- Rowing and SkiErg
- Carries
- Lunges
- Wall balls
- Functional strength
- Partner and team workouts
Every session will be coached and scalable.
If you're newer to this style of training, this is a great opportunity to learn. If you've already competed in a Hyrox, you'll have plenty of opportunities to push yourself.
And if you aren't interested in racing at all but simply think this style of fitness is fun, you're just as welcome.
More Than a Training Camp. More Than a Vacation.
This retreat brings together the parts of life we love most: fitness, travel, adventure, good food, and genuine connection.
Each day is thoughtfully planned to create a balance between movement and experience. Some mornings will begin in the gym. Others may start with a run or a lighter recovery-focused session. From there, we will head out to explore private islands, mangroves, temples, markets, jungle trails, and the beaches of Koh Samui.
The result is a week that helps you progress in your training without making your entire vacation feel like a competition. You can push when you want to push, scale when you need to scale, and enjoy the experience at your own pace.

- 7 night stay at Maraleina Sports Resort
- 3 meals a day
- All activities & adventures
- All scheduled workouts & coaching

Who Is This Retreat For?
This week is for you if:
- You love fitness but don't want your entire vacation to revolve around training.
- You're interested in hybrid fitness or race style events like Hyrox.
- You want a fully planned trip with a daily workout and adventure.
- You want to travel but would rather do it with a group of like minded people.
- You love good food, beautiful places, being active, and meeting new people.
- You want a vacation you come home from feeling better than when you left.
If that sounds like you, you'll probably love this week.
I just recently attended my very first retreat, and it was with Grown Strong. Before we even arrived, our arrival transport to the hotel was already organised, all activities were planned and spaces out quite well. Food selections were delicious and had a large variety. Training sessions were fun and enjoyable! Travelling back to the airport for our departure was already organised. No stress or worry about what to do next. The best part was the community and the people I met from all around the world! Instantly, I want to do another retreat with them. They make travelling fun, enjoyable and an experience worth loving again and again!
What Makes Grown Strong Retreats Different?
We’ve spent years hosting retreats around the world and one thing always stands out:
People come for the destination, but they leave remembering the community and experiences shared together.
Our retreats are designed so you can:
- Train together with fun and hard workouts.
- Explore amazing destinations with an incredible group.
- Eat incredible food and experience local culture.
- Step away from routine and reconnect with yourself.
- Build friendships that last long after the trip.
By the end of the week, most people say it felt like traveling with a group of lifelong friends.
The Fitness Race Experience
Toward the end of the week, everything comes together.
We'll take on a full race style fitness simulation using the same combination of running and functional workout stations you've been training throughout the retreat.
Think Hyrox race day energy, without the pressure.
You can test yourself, work toward a goal, or simply experience what a full event feels like surrounded by your retreat crew.
And because everyone will have spent the week training together, expect a lot of cheering.
The following day, we'll switch things up with a fun & friendly outdoor team competition, followed by a beachside celebration to finish the week together.
Our Home For The Week
We're taking over a piece of one of Koh Samui's premier sports resorts.
Maraleina combines a tropical island setting with world class training facilities, making it pretty hard to imagine a better place for this retreat.
During the week, we'll have access to an incredible fitness and high performance facility with everything we need for our training, including sleds, SkiErgs, rowers, wall balls, sandbags, running areas, strength equipment, and dedicated training areas.
And when the workout is done?
Recover in the sauna and cold plunge, head to the beach, grab some food, or simply slow down and enjoy being in Thailand.
You Don't Need To Be An Athlete
We really want to emphasize this.
You do not need to be incredibly fit to come on this retreat. You don't need a certain race time. You don't need to have competed before and there are no fitness prerequisites.
Our retreats bring together people with very different backgrounds and fitness levels, and we design the week so everyone can participate.
Maybe you're preparing for your first event. Maybe you've completed ten. Maybe you've watched one and thought, that looks fun. All three are exactly who this retreat is for.
Sessions can be adjusted to your ability, and you're always encouraged to train at your own pace.
This is about challenging yourself, not comparing yourself to the person next to you.
Come solo. Leave with a crew.
A lot of people hesitate to book their first retreat because they're coming alone. Then they arrive and realize half the group did exactly the same thing.
Our retreats are intentionally small because we want everyone to actually get to know each other.
You train together. Eat together. Explore together. Laugh a lot. Probably struggle through at least one workout together.
And somewhere along the way, a group of strangers starts feeling like a crew.
That's the part of these retreats that's difficult to explain until you've experienced one.
Is This Trip Right For You?
This retreat is perfect if you:
- Enjoy staying active while traveling
- Love hybrid style training and trying new challenges
- Want to explore Koh Samui beyond the typical vacation
- Want to meet like minded people and be part of a supportive community
- Love the idea of balancing workouts, adventure, recovery, and fun
You do not need any HYROX experience or need to be an advanced athlete to join us. Every workout can be scaled to your fitness level, and the week is designed to be welcoming and fun for everyone.

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.

Please fly into Samui International Airport (USM). The airport is located approximately 30–40 minutes from our hotel.
After you sign up, we’ll contact you with exact instructions on where and how we’ll meet you upon arrival.
Ideally you would arrive anytime before 12pm on May 24th. It's about a 1 hour drive from the airport and we will try to aim to do our welcome workout at 4pm with time to freshen up before our welcome dinner at around 6pm. The earlier you get in the more time you have to relax before the retreat kicks off.
While there are no scheduled activities on the final day, we recommend booking a flight that departs after 11AM on May 31st.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 1 hour, 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.

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'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.

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.

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.
