- | New York Times

fitness adventures to Ibiza, Havana, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Miami are about bonding over intense exercise and partying (unlimited beer is included in the price of the trip).

Mantas Zvinas, the founder, a happy-go-lucky surf coach and Soul Cycle instructor, leads the itinerarie­s personally along with a number of marquee trainers including Jaws Nelson and Julian Devine of NYC’S Rumble Boxing, and Hunter Mcintyre, the profession­al obstacle course racer.

The trips are packed with beach boot-camp workouts, surf sessions, yoga, hiking, stand-up paddle boarding and, in some locations, sightseein­g.

Rates range from $999 to $3600 per person, depending on location, room type and length of trip. Airfare and alcohol, outside of beer and the group happy hour, are excluded.
