Rejuvenate Body & Mind with FitnessRetreat – Canada’s Premier Wellness Getaways

Escape the daily grind and immerse yourself in transformative fitness‑retreat experiences across Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes. FitnessRetreat offers all‑inclusive packages combining invigorating workouts, expert coaching, nourishing farm‑to‑table meals, and mindful recovery sessions. Whether you seek a mountain‑top boot camp in British Columbia, a lakeside yoga immersion in Ontario, or a holistic wellness escape in Quebec’s Laurentians, our retreats empower you to reset habits, build resilience, and return home stronger—physically and mentally.
About Us – FitnessRetreat’s Passion for Holistic Transformation
Founded in 2018 by exercise physiologist Dr. Maya Thompson and outdoor‑adventure guide Lucas Martel, FitnessRetreat was born from their shared belief that true wellness emerges at the intersection of focused fitness, natural environments, and balanced nutrition. Headquartered in Vancouver, we partner with boutique lodges and eco‑resorts from the Rocky Mountains to the shores of Lake Huron, curating programs that integrate strength training, cardio conditioning, mind‑body practices, and adventure sports into immersive one‑week experiences.
Our mission is to deliver more than just a vacation: each retreat is a carefully designed journey, beginning with pre‑arrival fitness and nutritional assessments to tailor workouts and meal plans to individual goals and fitness levels. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a certified coach who leads small‑group sessions—ensuring personalized attention—and a registered dietitian who guides daily cooking demonstrations and mindful‑eating workshops. Afternoons blend guided hikes, paddleboarding, or trail runs with restorative practices like breathwork, yin yoga, and forest‑bathing, taking full advantage of Canada’s diverse terrain and climates.
Central to our philosophy is sustainability and community. All meals source local, organic ingredients; lodging partners adhere to eco‑certification standards; and we invest a portion of each booking into local conservation initiatives. Our staff—ranging from mountain‑rescue EMTs to registered massage therapists—are rigorously trained not only in their specialties but also in trauma‑informed coaching and cultural‑sensitivity best practices. Since our first retreat in Whistler, we’ve welcomed over 1,200 guests, achieving 95 % rebooking rates and witnessing average client improvements of 15 % in VO₂ max, 10 % in lean‑mass gain, and significant reductions in stress‑and‑anxiety scores.
Looking ahead to 2025, FitnessRetreat will expand to include multi‑day micro‑retreat pop‑ups near Toronto and Calgary, plus an online continuity program offering live workouts, meditation sessions, and nutrition coaching to sustain progress beyond the getaway. Through every evolution, our commitment remains unwavering: to craft life‑changing fitness retreats that harmonize body, mind, and environment—so that every guest departs not just rejuvenated, but truly transformed.
