1ON1 Fitness Retreat is a small residential fitness and yoga programme in Kodaikanal where guests live and train with two coaches for one to four weeks. Days combine strength, cardio and HIIT sessions with hatha and yin yoga, nutrition talks and set meals, in a house with six en-suite rooms.
Our take · editors' note
Suits: Suits fitness-minded adults wanting an intensive, near-private training camp in the Kodaikanal hills, with personal training, daily yoga and five set meals a day.
Maybe not for: Not for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday, a vegetarian-only menu or flexible dates; training needs a heart-rate monitor and dates can’t be moved.
Great for
- weight & fitness
- solo travellers
- burnout & stress
Maybe not for
- Short breaks (7-night minimum)
Run by a strength coach and a yoga teacher who live on site with guests
