Press Pause on Life. Reignite Your Passion for Fitness, Adventure & Connection in Paradise.
Let Thailand’s breathtaking landscapes remind you of life’s beauty. Picture this: Days filled with unforgettable adventures, soul-fueling workouts under the tropical sun, and quiet moments of reflection by the sea. Evenings come alive with glowing sunsets, shared meals, and stories that spark lasting connections.
Experience More Than a Vacation & Fuel Your Soul
Imagine waking up to the sound of ocean waves and starting your day with a workout that fuels your body and clears your mind. Spend your days immersed in adventure—dive into local culture, visiting an elephant sanctuary, or exploring hidden islands by boat. Embrace Thailand’s vibrant culture through authentic experiences like a Thai cooking class or unwinding with a soothing Thai massage after an active day. As the sun sets, gather for group dinners and heartfelt conversations. This is more than a retreat—it’s a journey that awakens your spirit, nourishes your body, and creates lasting connections.
Move, Explore, Recharge
At Grown Strong Retreats, we believe movement should feel empowering, energizing, and soul-fueling. Our workouts are designed for all fitness levels, blending strength, adventure, and recovery for a well-rounded experience. Joining us as guest coaches are Sam Dancer & Jenn Dancer, who will bring their unique coaching styles, motivation, and expertise for our gym sessions. We will also try Muay Thai and stay active with adventure-based fitness like kayaking to James Bond Island & swimming in crystal-clear waters. When it’s time to unwind, relax with a full Thai onsen spa experience and sunset yoga. Every session is designed to challenge your body, refresh your mind, and reignite your passion for fitness and adventure.

YES, of course you can! We always have a mix of couples, friends, and individuals so you'll fit right in.
Absolutely! We actually encourage arriving a day early to allow you time to settle in, adjust to the time difference, and ensure that in case of travel delays, you won't miss any part of the retreat.
If you're interested in arriving early or extending your stay, please contact us at retreats@grownstrong.com, and we'll assist you with the arrangements.
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.
Absolutely, 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.
Located about an hour drive from our hotel is Phuket International Airport (HKT). This is the airport we ask that you arrive and depart from in order for us to handle airport transportation efficiently.
After you sign up, we will contact you with exact instructions on how we'll meet you upon your arrival.
Ideally you would arrive anytime before 4pm on the 18th. We try to aim to do our welcome workout at 5pm with time to freshen up for our welcome dinner at 6:30/7pm. The earlier you get in the more time you have to relax before the retreat kicks off.
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
A large variety! You can expect high intensity, low intensity, beach workouts, Muay Thai, CrossFit, and Weightlifting Sessions.
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

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! If you’re looking to enjoy some drinks at the hotel or explore the local nightlife, we've got you covered. We'll provide suggestions and help set you on your way.

We've found that 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 4-6 weeks 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 we all meet in person.
