The JW Marriott Marco Island Retreat
Nestled along the serene shores of Marco Island, the JW Marriott offers a sanctuary for those seeking to harmonize mind, body, and spirit. With its breathtaking ocean vistas and luxurious amenities, this resort is the epitome of tranquility. Whether you're looking to center yourself through yoga sessions on the beach, focus on your fitness goals with expert guidance and personalized training programs, or simply unwind with a soothing massage at the spa, the JW Marriott provides the perfect environment for holistic wellness. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, rejuvenate your senses, and discover a newfound sense of balance amidst the opulent surroundings of this idyllic retreat.
I first discovered the allure of the JW Marriott during a family trip years ago, and I instantly fell in love with its luxurious ambiance, tranquil atmosphere, and the harmonious blend of sun, sand, and delectable cuisine. Recognizing its potential as the ultimate destination for my busy clients to rejuvenate while honing in on their fitness aspirations, I've led groups to this haven in January of 2023 and 2024. Eagerly anticipating our next retreat, whether it be in 2025 or sooner, I am already envisioning the restorative experiences that await us at this cherished retreat.
For inquiries about booking a retreat for yourself, your friends, or your clients, please feel free to reach out to me directly via email.
The retreat is completely customizable. From exhilarating boating trips (like the one above) to peaceful meditation sessions on the beach, every aspect is tailored to you and your groups preferences!
“I was intrigued by Emily's Marco Island retreat when I saw the pictures from last year and read the information leaflet. It seemed like a perfect way to get away in the sun while maintaining new workout habits -vacation without the guilt! And I was right - with the added benefit of making new friends. The resort was beautiful - everything you need is right there. The beach is white and sandy, like you'd see in the Caribbean, and the accommodations are modern and well appointed. There are several delicious restaurants on site, and nice spaces for us to work out in. The spa was heavenly (gotta try the cold plunge/sauna combo!) and has the benefit of a private pool. And while all these things were amazing, the best part was the company! Thanks Emily for organizing an amazing experience.”

“For me, the St. J Fitness Retreat was a celebration of my accomplishments in the gym, both in terms of getting stronger and also building amazing friendships. The retreat was at a luxury resort with a gorgeous spa that we spent a day at. We started each day with a workout led by Emily, then a spectacular breakfast at the hotel. Our days were filled with beach, pool,, spa, boating, and silly girlfriend time. The dinners were pre-planned and delicious! I can't wait to do it all again next year!”

The Saint J Fitness Mini Retreat
Salamander Resort and Spa, Middleburg Va
Salamander Resort and Spa, nestled in the charming town of Middleburg, Virginia, holds a special allure for me, reminiscent of childhood memories filled with equestrian charm and the quaint ambiance of local shops and eateries. Since its establishment in 2013, I've been drawn to experience the resort's unique blend of luxury and tranquility firsthand. From its meticulous incorporation of equestrian-themed details to its impeccable grounds, every aspect of Salamander captivates. Whether you're an avid equestrian or simply seeking luxurious accommodations, Salamander offers an exceptional experience for all. The meticulously maintained grounds, the serene spa retreat, and the delectable cuisine all contribute to an unforgettable stay.
Over the years, I've frequented Salamander, indulging in day escapes to unwind and recharge with loved ones. With the launch of my business in 2021, the idea of hosting wellness retreats for my clients at Salamander Resort and Spa became a natural progression. Since 2022, our annual retreats have become a cherished tradition, where we immerse ourselves in fitness activities, indulge in spa treatments, and explore the nearby wineries, whether it be amidst the crisp winter months or the vibrant hues of fall. Salamander Resort and Spa truly embodies the essence of luxury, wellness, and indulgence, offering an unparalleled experience with each visit.
Looking ahead, the next mini retreat is scheduled for the Fall of 2024. If you're interested in joining me and a group of your clients for this rejuvenating experience, please don't hesitate to reach out and secure your spot!
