Ashley Borden


Ashley Borden Launches
Fitness Retreats at
Four Seasons Punta Mita

Celebrity fitness trainer and NIKE Fitness Professional Ashley Borden has partnered with Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita in Mexico, to offer clients and guests a five-day, four-night retreat and body makeover.

“The goal of my retreat is to offer clients a no-excuses fitness and food program – in a luxurious environment,” explains Borden. “Most often, ‘boot camps’ are about injury-inviting workouts, deprivation of food as well as militant fitness instructors who can intimidate participants. I don’t think this approach sticks with anyone once they leave that atmosphere. People need a more realistic, manageable way to establish new habits and understand how functional fitness changes your quality of life.”

Mandy Moore, who attended the first retreat last fall, said, “It was the most recharging and restorative “fitness vacation” I’ve experienced. The change in my body after five days with Ashley was amazing.”

At the Ashley Borden Fitness Retreat, the strategic diet and aggressive fitness regime ensures inches lost and amazing posture awareness; but, participants won't feel deprived or punished because they are staying at a Five Diamond, luxury resort enjoying spa treatments and gourmet, healthy food. It's about learning how to adopt an improved lifestyle by developing new habits and changing old behaviors. The retreat is designed to nourish the body and soul through exercise, nutrition and relaxation.
