The approach at ZihFit

ZihFit Retreat is a holistic sanctuary in the breathtaking landscapes of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, offering transformative wellness experiences designed to nurture mind, body, and spirit. The curated programs seamlessly blend fitness activities, mindful meditation, and nutritious cuisine, creating a pathway to total vitality.

The founders of ZihFit, J. Ben Bourgeois and Eduardo Penteado, were inspired by personal transformations and a commitment to holistic well-being. Around his 60th birthday, Bourgeois shifted his focus toward fitness, longevity, and spiritual growth, leading to the creation of ZihFit as a sanctuary for others seeking personal development.

The approach extends beyond the physical, offering guests a refuge from daily life to reconnect with their inner selves. Each day begins with yoga in a palapa with panoramic views, followed by walks along Playa Blanca, personalized workouts, and massages to enhance relaxation and recovery.

Evenings at ZihFit are filled with locavore feasts, sunset strolls, and dance classes. It is a unique approach combining traditional shamanistic rituals with expert guidance from healers Lupita, Sara Nacach, and Adriana González, who skillfully integrate ancient practices with modern wellness philosophies.

Whether you seek rejuvenation, relaxation, or spiritual growth, ZihFit offers a transformative journey that intertwines luxurious serenity with deep, meaningful wellness experiences, proving that true transformation comes from a joyful, holistic approach to well-being.
