You’ve signed up for a fitness retreat (Hopefully, it’s with us!) and you’re probably really excited. You should be! Embarking on an active vacation is a fantastic thing. It’s a journey all in itself. It includes lots of movement (some you’ve done before and some you might not have), hard work, making new friends or acquaintances, pushing yourself to the limit, spa treatments, down time, fresh and delicious food and a snuggly bed to lie down in at night and recover from the day’s events.

If you’re like most people, you booked your trip roughly 1 month in advance. You’ve taken off work and maybe even arranged child care if you have kids. You’re planning your time away and now it comes down to what to bring. How do you even pack for a fitness retreat? What to wear? What essentials should be packed and what are you not thinking about that you should bring?
