The Itinerary
Settle in and decompress by the pool or ocean. Join us for a welcome ceremony and movement session, followed by an intimate beachside dinner to kick off your retreat.
Kick off the retreat with our signature SWEAT & RESET - a 30-minute high-energy HIIT workout followed by a recovery yoga stretch. Spend your day relaxing, reading, or exploring at your own pace. In the evening, recharge with an invigorating sauna + cold plunge session, then gather for a group dinner to connect and celebrate the day.
Start your day with a refreshing waterfall hike -a heart-pumping adventure that’s sure to get you moving and sweating. Cool off with a jump into the pristine waters before enjoying a nourishing lunch. Return to the retreat to unwind, then join us for a pre-dinner sculpting Pilates session to tone, stretch, and reset.
Begin your day with our Jungle Gym Strength & HIIT workout, followed by an invigorating cold plunge. The afternoon is yours — horseback ride, enjoy a massage, explore biohacking, or simply relax and soak in the surroundings. In the evening, experience a temazcal ceremony (optional but highly recommended for its deep, transformative energy).
Begin with a Sunrise Vinyasa Flow and Breathwork to regulate your nervous system and awaken your body. Enjoy a nourishing breakfast, then spend the afternoon as you wish — join an optional excursion or simply rest and listen to what your body needs. In the evening, gather for a group omakase dinner at the sushi restaurant for a shared, memorable culinary experience.
Celebrate all you’ve accomplished with your last signature workout, designed to leave you feeling strong, energized, and proud. Spend your final hours relaxing, reflecting, and soaking in the beauty around you before a farewell gathering to connect, share memories, and set intentions to carry the retreat’s energy home.
Meet Your Coaches
We’ve been leading people through transformations for over 12 years, starting as founding instructors at Barry’s Bootcamp Toronto.
This retreat is our chance to take everything we’ve learned – from coaching hundreds of clients, leading group programs, and hosting retreats around the world – and give you an experience that actually sticks. Not just a week of workouts, but a reset that changes how you show up for yourself.
Karina brings her background as a certified yoga teacher, Pilates instructor, and nutritionist – plus over a decade of leading retreats. She knows how to hold space, push you when you need it, and create an environment where you feel safe to try new things.
Chris combines his strength training expertise with the discipline of a semi-pro boxer. He’ll teach you how to move with intention, build real strength, and surprise yourself with what you’re capable of.
Together, we’re creating a week in one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been – and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Not at all! Most people come solo and leave with new friends. The shared bungalows are perfect for meeting people, but you can also book a private room if you prefer your own space.
El Salvador’s main international airport is San Salvador (SAL)
Option 1: Direct Airport Pickup Fly into San Salvador International Airport (SAL) and catch our shuttle on Feb 8. The last shuttle leaves at 1PM, so make sure your flight lands with enough time to clear customs and grab your bags!
Option 2: Spend the Night in San Salvador (Recommended!) Land the night before (Feb 7th) and explore the capital – Chris and I loved it! We stayed at Cardedeu Centro Histórico right in the city center with an incredible rooftop for sunset drinks. Then you can relax, get on local time, and catch the shuttle on Feb 8th stress-free.
Shuttle pickup times and exact location in San Salvador will be shared once you book!
All levels welcome! Workouts will have modifications, and you go at your own pace. This is about moving your body, not destroying yourself.

Great question – and one we took seriously before choosing this location! El Salvador has changed dramatically in recent years.
We’ll be in a small, sleepy beach town that’s mostly tourists and locals who work in tourism. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows each other and you feel immediately welcome. Chris and I felt completely safe exploring – it’s very laid-back and chill.
Like anywhere you travel, use common sense – don’t flash expensive jewelry, stay aware of your surroundings – but honestly, this spot feels more relaxed than most beach towns. You’ll see surfers, yoga retreats, and travelers from all over the world.
Our local team knows the area inside and out, and you’re in good hands!
That said, we always recommend travel insurance and registering with your embassy’s travel program before any international trip.
Think: workout clothes, swimwear, hiking shoes, sunscreen, and casual beach vibes. I’ll send a detailed packing list once you book.
Yes! The restaurant can accommodate all dietary needs – vegan, gluten-free, allergies, you name it. Just let us know when you book so we can give them a heads up.
Yes, there’s WiFi available. But honestly? I highly recommend disconnecting as much as you can. This is your chance to be present, soak up the beach vibes, and actually connect with the people around you. Your inbox will still be there when you get back 😉
First come, first serve! Once the 5 spots are filled, they’re gone. If you’re booking with a friend and want to share, just let us know and we’ll make it happen.
Yes! Here’s how it works:
- $500 deposit to secure your spot at the early bird rate
- Remaining balance split into monthly payments
- Final payment due by Jan 15, 2026
