Strong body, no gym, no excuses
San Blas has no gyms — and you won’t miss one. We train Tabata-style: 20 seconds of work, 10 of rest, eight rounds, across a handful of movements. It’s the most honest twenty minutes of your day, and it leaves you sharper, not wrecked. Then the sea is right there to cool off in.
What a session looks like
We set up on the foredeck or step ashore onto an empty beach with resistance bands, TRX and kettlebells — squats, presses, rows, carries, core, scaled to whoever showed up. It builds the kind of usable strength that pays off the moment you’re pulling on a halyard or duck-diving on a single breath. No membership, no machines, just you, the kit, and the islands.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be fit to join?
No. Tabata scales to whoever's training — total beginners set their own intensity. It's 20 seconds of effort, 10 of rest, repeated; you go as hard as you want.
What equipment is there with no gym?
Resistance bands, TRX straps, kettlebells and your own bodyweight — that's it, and it's plenty. No machines, no mirrors, just functional strength that carries into freediving and sailing.
Where do the sessions happen?
On the foredeck of the catamaran, or ashore on an empty San Blas beach when the anchorage suits it. Sunrise, usually, before the day heats up.
