Built Around You.
Small group · Limited places
A different kind of women’s fitness retreat
Not a bootcamp. Not just Pilates. Something in between.
This is a strength and Pilates retreat for women who want to train with purpose, recover properly and still feel as though they are on holiday. The work is coached. The pace is considered. The experience is allowed to breathe.
Control, mobility and movement quality that support how you train.
The DB Method, experienced together
Personal coaching. Shared energy.
Small-group sessions create a supportive rhythm without turning individual coaching into a template. Your experience, movement, goals, recovery and confidence still shape how you train.
Training experienceMovement qualityRecoveryConfidencePersonal goalsCurrent capacity
Because no two bodies move exactly the same.
Optional private coaching
More focused time, if you want it.
Optional private 1:1 coaching can be added for women who want a deeper movement review, more focused technique support or a personal training conversation away from the group.
It is an addition, not a requirement. The group experience remains fully coached.
Ask About 1:1 CoachingThe four elements
One considered retreat experience.
Training, movement, recovery and exploration are programmed to support each other.
01 · Train
Real strength training.
Coached sessions built around squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, core strength and conditioning. Enough challenge to create adaptation, with technique and progression kept in view.
02 · Move
Pilates with a purpose.
Pilates, mobility and movement sessions develop control, range and awareness so your strength work feels more considered, not disconnected.
03 · Recover
Recovery is part of the programme.
Space for ice bath, sauna, massage, mobility, breathwork, pool time, sleep and genuine downtime, shaped around the final itinerary.
Train hard enough to adapt. Recover well enough to progress.
04 · Experience
A fitness holiday, not a timetable in disguise.
Enjoy Koh Samui beyond the villa through selected island experiences, meals, social time and space to explore. The final itinerary remains flexible enough to preserve the feeling of a holiday.
Your body. Better understood.
Understand how you move.
Movement-focused coaching helps you notice the positions, patterns and limitations that shape your training. It is a practical fitness assessment, not a diagnosis.

Beyond the villa
The island is part of the experience.
Selected Koh Samui experiences, beach time, local food and social moments sit alongside the training. Nothing is packed in simply to make the itinerary look busy.
Fuelled well
Food that supports training and still feels like a holiday.
Meals are approached without detox language, unnecessary restriction or the idea that food must be earned. The focus is on quality, balance, enjoyment and enough fuel for the work you are doing.
NourishingBalancedEnjoyablePractical
Recovery, deliberately designed
The quiet part of progress.
Recovery is not an afterthought placed around the training. It is one of the reasons the training can be productive.
Expect a rhythm that values sleep, unhurried mornings, pool time, mobility and recovery options shaped around the final retreat itinerary.

Coaching beyond the gym
Coffee & Coaching.
Informal conversations about your training, habits, recovery and the decisions that help progress last. No lectures. No classroom. Just useful coaching in the moments where it makes sense.
The retreat ends. The method doesn’t.
Your DB Method.
The goal is not to leave with a temporary high and no idea what comes next. You leave with clearer training principles, a better understanding of your movement and practical decisions you can take back into real life.
