Why Siargao?
Siargao is a remote island in the Philippines known for its raw beauty, friendly locals, and laid-back charm. Picture crystal-clear water, palm-lined roads, orange sunsets, and quiet moments on untouched beaches.
Every part of the island invites you to explore! Paddle through jungle rivers, dive into hidden lagoons, or just float in warm ocean water with no to-do list in sight. It’s the kind of place that helps you reset, breathe deeper, and appreciate the simple things.
And the best part? We plan it all for you. From daily workouts to boat tours, meals, transportation, and local experiences: everything is taken care of. All you have to do is show up, be present, and enjoy the ride.
Hear From Our Past Grown Strong Retreat Crew
"I’ve currently been on 3 trips with Lauren and Ras and every time I’m blown away how they made the experience better than the last. Lauren and Ras have built a great community with great people who make the whole trip amazing. If you’re lucky enough to book a retreat please make the most out of every event and day. It is absolutely amazing how fast the week goes by and at the end I always find myself wishing it lasted longer." - Sam
"Best retreat ever! This was my first retreat and certainly not my last! I was beyond impressed how well everything we was organized and planned. Everything from airport pick up/drop off, lodging, meals, activities, and transportation was taken care of. It really made the trip so easy to enjoy. Best of all were the people, such an amazing group of people to eat, explore and do fitness together. Loved everything about this trip!" - Perla

Where You'll Stay?
For this retreat, we’ll be staying at Kajali Villas, a charming and minimalist property with some of the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet. It’s tucked away just enough to offer privacy and a calm atmosphere, yet only a three-minute walk from the heart of General Luna, the main town on the island.
We’ll have the entire property to ourselves, which creates a really special, intimate vibe for our group. Each villa includes its own AC and WiFi, and at the center of the property you’ll find a beautiful pool surrounded by lounge chairs, perfect for relaxing and having fun.
You’re just a short walk from General Luna’s cafés, smoothie bars, the beach, and local markets. Whether you feel like exploring town or enjoying downtime by the pool, everything is within easy reach.
It’s a spot that perfectly reflects the energy of Siargao: simple, soulful, and easy to settle into.

Our workouts are designed to help you feel good, energize your day, and build an appetite for all the incredible food. You choose the intensity that works for you, and with multiple coaches on hand, everything can be tailored to your pace.

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.
For this retreat, we’re asking everyone to fly into Siargao Airport (IAO).
Once you arrive, we’ll handle all transportation on the island, so you can relax and enjoy the journey!
After you sign up, we will contact you with exact instructions on how we'll meet you upon your arrival.
Ideally, you should arrive before 1PM on June 5th. The drive from Siargao Airport to our villas takes about one hour, depending on traffic. We’re planning a light welcome workout around 4PM (subject to slight adjustment depending on arrival times), giving you a chance to settle in and freshen up before our welcome dinner around 6:30–7 PM. The earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to relax before the retreat officially begins!
While there are no scheduled activities on the final day, we recommend booking a flight that departs after 12 PM on June 12th. 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.
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.
