Is this retreat right for me?
You don’t need to be a current Wonder Women client.
You don’t need to be in peak shape.
You do need to be ready to participate, learn and be part of the group.

Meet the Coaches
Michelle MacDonald
Strength, Conditioning and Hypertrophy expert, FMG World Champion, and TWW Founder
“The advantage of having six nights together is that we can coach you in a way we simply can’t do through a screen. I love designing experiences that not only elevate retreat-goers’ personal standards, but each one of these events takes women on an incredible journey of self-discovery and recommitment to a vision of their own greatest health.”
Jean Jacques Barrett
Strength, Conditioning and Hypertrophy expert, FMG World Champion, and TWW Head Coach
Anni Bedrossian
CanFit Pro Personal Trainer, Yoga Teacher, Holistic Nutrition graduate (Canadian School of Natural Nutrition), and founding TWW Coach

Nancy Tang
Personal Trainer since 2013, Low Pressure Fitness specialist, and TWW Coach
Coming alone?
You won’t be the only one.
Most women are far more nervous about this than they need to be.
Some arrive knowing another guest. Many don’t.
“Within the first day, that distinction tends to disappear.”

Do I need to be really fit to attend?
Absolutely not.
This is not a fitness bootcamp, and you do not need to arrive in the best shape of your life.
Women come to us with different training histories, abilities and goals. Some have been lifting for years. Others are rebuilding after time away from training.
Our job is to coach the woman standing in front of us, not force everyone through exactly the same workout.
You should arrive ready to participate, learn and challenge yourself at the level that is appropriate for you.
What if I have knee pain, back pain, an old injury or I can't do certain exercises?
Very normal.
Many of the women we coach are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, and real bodies come with history.
If you can’t squat with a barbell, get comfortably onto the floor, press overhead, run, jump or perform a particular movement, that does not automatically prevent you from participating.
Our coaches can modify exercises and help you work within your current abilities.
That said, this is a fitness retreat, not a rehabilitation clinic. If you have an active injury or medical condition that significantly limits exercise, we may ask you to speak with your healthcare professional before attending.
I'm coming by myself. Will that feel awkward?
Probably for about five minutes.
A lot of women come to the retreat on their own, and we know walking into a group of strangers can feel intimidating.
But everyone is there for a similar reason.
You train together. You eat together. You learn together. You laugh a lot.
Some of the friendships that have come out of these retreats have been one of the best parts of the entire experience.
You do not need to bring your own tribe. You will have one waiting for you.
Will Michelle actually be coaching us?
Yes.
Michelle and The Wonder Women coaching team are not simply hosting the retreat. They are there to coach.
Training sessions, education, conversations and time with the team are a major part of the experience.
One of the reasons we keep these retreats relatively intimate is so that they don’t turn into an event where you spend six days watching somebody from the back of a room.
I'm vegetarian. Can you accommodate me?
Yes.
We can accommodate vegetarian diets and many common dietary needs.
You’ll have an opportunity to tell us about dietary requirements before the retreat so that our team can plan appropriately.
If you have significant allergies or highly specific medical dietary requirements, please contact us before booking so we can make sure we can accommodate you safely.
Can I bring my husband or partner?
Yes, depending on the accommodation option you select.
Your partner is welcome to share your room and enjoy Tulum, but the retreat programming itself is designed specifically for registered retreat participants.
If your partner would also like to participate in the retreat, they will need their own retreat registration.
Please contact our team before booking if you are planning to travel together so we can help you choose the right room.
Is Tulum safe?
Tulum welcomes millions of international visitors, but, like any travel destination, it is important to travel thoughtfully and use normal precautions.
We will provide detailed arrival, transportation and retreat logistics before you travel, including our recommendations for getting safely to and from the property.
We also strongly recommend travel insurance and encourage every guest to review current government travel guidance before departure.
What about seaweed?
Sargassum is a natural and unpredictable part of travelling to the Caribbean coast, and conditions can vary considerably from week to week.
We can’t promise what the beach will look like during the retreat.
The good news is that the retreat experience has never been designed around lying on a perfect beach for six days.
Tulum is the backdrop. The real reason you’re coming is the training, coaching, food, conversations, experiences and women you’ll share the week with.
If Mother Nature gives us spectacular beaches as well, we’ll happily take them.
Will I have any downtime?
Yes. Deliberately.
We want you to train, learn and take advantage of everything the retreat offers, but we do not want you to leave Tulum needing another vacation.
There will be structured training and education alongside recovery, meals, connection and time to yourself.
You can do everything. You also don’t have to.
What's included in the retreat?
Your retreat package includes your accommodation, scheduled training and education with Michelle and The Wonder Women coaching team, programmed retreat activities, and the meals and experiences listed in your package.
Flights and personal travel expenses are not included.
We’ll send you a complete itinerary and packing/travel guide before you arrive so there are no surprises.
Can I reserve my room with a deposit?
Yes.
You can secure your place with a 50% deposit or choose to pay in full when you book.
Your remaining balance and payment deadline will be clearly outlined in your confirmation.
Because the retreat has a limited number of rooms, your place is not secured until your booking and required payment have been received.
What happens after I book?
First, celebrate! You’re coming to Tulum.
You’ll receive your booking confirmation followed by an intake form so we can learn more about you, your training background, dietary needs and anything our coaching team should know.
As the retreat gets closer, we’ll send you everything you need for travel, packing, arrival and the week itself.
You don’t need to figure this all out alone. We’ll walk you through it.
