Why We Created These Retreats

We built The Fitness Edit on a simple premise. Fitness must support your life, not compete with it. But sometimes the noise of daily life like deadlines, traffic, and logistics drowns out your progress.

Elevate Retreats is your space to reset.

We don't do "weight loss camps" that break you down. We don't do "passive pampering" where you just sit by a pool. We combine high-quality functional training with the healing power of the Western Cape outdoors.

You arrive to disconnect. You leave stronger.

The Experience

Fitness Edit Certified Coaching

This isn't an influencer meet-up. Every session is programmed and led by qualified Fitness Edit coaches. We adapt our signature functional strength and HIIT training to your level. You get the safety and structure of personal training within a group setting.

Adventure by Nature

The Garden Route is our gym. Beyond our daily training sessions we explore the region. Think guided hikes in indigenous forests, ocean swims in Plettenberg Bay, and kayaking the lagoons.

We believe food is fuel, but it should also be a joy. Enjoy chef-prepared and nutrient-dense meals that taste incredible. We partner with venues that offer luxury comfort so you sleep as hard as you train.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an athlete to attend?

No. While we focus on active training our sessions are led by Fitness Edit Certified Coaches who scale every exercise to your ability. Whether you are returning from injury or looking to push your limits, you will be supported.

Is this a weight-loss bootcamp?

No. We do not focus on scales or calorie deprivation. We focus on performance, capability, and feeling good. You will eat nutritious whole foods, but you will not be hungry.

I’m traveling solo. Will it be awkward?

Not at all. Many of our guests come solo. Our itineraries are designed to foster natural connection through shared activities like hiking and training. You will leave with a team rather than just strangers.

Why the Garden Route?

We believe nature is the ultimate piece of gym equipment. The Western Cape offers clean air, stunning terrain, and a sense of space that you cannot get in a city studio. It is the perfect backdrop for resetting your nervous system.

What is included in the price?

We operate on an all-inclusive basis once you arrive at the venue. This includes luxury accommodation, all training sessions, guided adventures, and all meals. Alcohol and flights are usually excluded. We recommend you check each retreat to view what is included as each retreat is structured slightly differently.

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure a high coach-to-client ratio.
