"Great experience, great people. The planning was impeccable, the execution was even better. Lauren and Rasmus are very personable with great attitudes. The whole Grown Strong team is fully invested in each participants enjoyment and growth. I would/do recommend joining a retreat with these amazing people.

Looking forward to signing up for another retreat in the near future."

"I've been on three retreats so far and I want to keep coming back!

Lauren and Rasmus are so fun to travel with, and having all the activities and food and transportation planned makes it really easy to relax and enjoy. It's a perfect blend of fitness and exploring a new country. And I always leave so grateful for for people I've met and the experiences we've shared. 10/10 would recommend :)"

This was one of the most well thought out and well planned group trips I have ever been on. Every activity and meal was top notch, along with the gym and workout environment, and location of Barcelona, Spain. Lauren and Rasmus ensure each participant is included and well cared for in every activity. Truly one of the best trips I have ever been on. I am so grateful I put my trust in Lauren and Rasmus! And you just can’t beat being trained by the best! Worth every penny!!

"Time of my life! I signed up for this retreat not knowing anyone or what to expect. I left with countless memories, life long friends, unique experiences, and several new fitness/lifting tips. This trip fueled my soul- can’t wait for the next one!"

"Portugal was a dream! Truly had nonstop fun and made so many lifelong memories and friends. Meeting so many like-minded people who enjoy fitness while vacationing was the best part. The Grown Strong team did an amazing job and had everything perfectly organized for a smooth and fun-filled week including daily workouts, incredible activities, and delicious food. Couldn’t be happier with my time spent with Lauren and Ras and their team. Obrigada!"

"The retreat was marvelous, I enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel was beautiful, the food and events organized amazing. All the participants of the group were friendly and fun to hang out with. The coaches and Organisation were flawless."

Don’t change a thing. Best overall trip, experience, adventure and so on I’ve ever been on. Tattoo worthy.

Best experience on a retreat. All the staff was very accommodating & had a very remarkable experience & would definitely attend another retreat.

This was by far the best week of my life. I had the opportunity to meet amazing people while training in the most beautiful place on earth. What more could I ask for!!

"Amazing experience.

- Only buy olive oil extra virgin and in a dark bottle.
- Make bread with grandma any chance you get.
- Wine is served best with bread, while swimming in an elegant pool and sharing with good friends.
- Crossfit is hard no matter where you do it.
- Sometimes you have to drive a ways to experience beauty.
- Working out on the beach during sunrise is magnificent.
- The End of the World is a pretty amazing place.
- Take a deep breath, look around an enjoy God’s beauty."

A life changing experience; I made life-long friends, learned a ton and had a great time.

"Our trip to Portugal was postponed due to COVID, but it was definitely worth the wait! It was a week full of great company, fun workouts, delicious food, and many memories made. I highly recommend attending their fitness retreats! It will be an experience you won’t forget!"

This trip was simply amazing! From the warm welcome at the airport I knew this experience was going to be epic. The itinerary was non-stop action packed and executed very well. From site seeing in the city, beach day activities, all the food and wine tasting!! Left this trip with 20+ new friends who all love the same things. Food, adventure and fitness!
I will certainly be back for the next one!

I had such a fun week and can't wait until the next trip!

I am really really glad I came. You have been amazingly welcoming and kind. I loved the chance to explore such an amazing place like Bali and meet awesome people. Thank you for doing this!!
