XPT Experience

RESET YOUR FITNESS. ELEVATE YOUR TRAINING.

OCTOBER 11-13, 2022

If you’re looking for a mid-year break, want to jump start your fitness, or learn cutting-edge techniques that will help you improve your life and sport performance then you need to join us for the XPT Costa Rica Experience.

You’ll be coached by Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece and the XPT Team during a three-day tropical fitness retreat. You’ll learn the XPT Breathe, Move, Recover curriculum through performance breathing, pool training with underwater workouts, gym training, nature workouts, ice-heat therapy sessions, stand up paddling, recovery work, and XPT lifestyle education. Topics such as nutrition, sleep, and stress management in addition to the mind-body and physical training will help you with practical knowledge you can employ at home.

XPT IS GREAT FOR TRIATHLETES, SWIMMERS, CYCLISTS & RUNNERS

The benefits of XPT-heightened performance even in extreme environments are immediately valuable to every endurance sports athlete. The open water swim at the beginning of the race, thought by many to be the most mentally daunting of a triathlon, often presents low temperatures and a need for comfort in and around breaking waves. Factor in the crowd at the beginning of the race and the adrenaline rush, and the XPT emphasis on remaining calm in what is an inherently stressful situation, will give you a confidence boost in the open water.

You’ll feel improvement in your transitions as well, with sudden adaptation required to move from cold to hot and continue performing, especially as muscle groups shift responsibilities and adapt to the change of movement. Mastery of the transition from bike to run, perhaps the most difficult of a triathlon, draws heavily on the XPT Recover pillar, which focuses on utilizing specialized techniques to adapt the body faster.

ALL FITNESS LEVELS ARE WELCOME!

Is this experience right for me? Don’t be intimidated! The XPT Experience was created to suit all fitness levels. You do not need to be a world-class athlete or in elite shape to benefit from the XPT Experience. Guests come from many different backgrounds, ages and fitness levels. We’ll meet you where you currently are and help you explore the edges of your comfort zone. This experience is all about YOU and we will make sure you leave with dozens of new tools, information, and inspiration to help you live a performance driven life!
