LuxeFit is a travel company that combines “luxury travel” with “fitness” for a healthy, adventurous vacation. Find out how LuxeFit works today in our review.
What Is LuxeFit?
LuxeFit is a blend of fitness, nutrition, and adventure. The travel company puts together active vacations throughout the year. On each vacation, guests enjoy delicious, healthy food and exercise in exotic locations. Workouts and yoga classes are led by top trainers.
The end result is that you get to see the sights and culture of a foreign country while maintaining your fitness goals at the same time.
Many people get back from a vacation and feel gross. Whether you’ve been backpacking around Germany or at an all-inclusive Mexican resort, you probably over-indulged during most of your trip. LuxeFit wants to prevent this post-travel hangover: so you return home looking and feeling better than when you left off.
As the company’s official website explains, “It’s fit travel – in the form of luxury getaways!”
LuxeFit launched in 2017. The company has three trips scheduled throughout 2017 – including the first trip that just took place at the end of April/beginning of May in Barbados.

All of the prices include all taxes and fees. They also include each location’s value added tax (VAT). You’ll need to make a non-refundable $500 deposit to book your trip.
Trips take place throughout the year.
LuxeFit Accommodations
What kind of hotel do you stay in? Each LuxeFit retreat consists of 6 nights accommodations in either a 5 star villa or luxury condos.
Many LuxeFit guests travel solo. However, the company recommends choosing the “shared” option on sign-up. They’ll pair you with another solo traveler. The entire experience is very communal, with guests sharing communal spaces with each other throughout the retreat.
LuxeFit Menu: What Will You Eat?
LuxeFit puts a big emphasis on healthy, delicious, local food at each of its destinations. The company’s villa comes with a private chef, and they craft menus that reflect each island’s unique culture while maintaining a commitment to your nutritional needs.
LuxeFit doesn’t publish specific menu information upfront. However, here are some of the common goals across all menus:
- Foods will vary based on the intensity of workouts throughout the week
- The menu is designed to keep everyone full and performing at their best
- Every meal has a vegetarian/vegan, gluten free option
- Breakfasts typically consist of fresh fruits and smoothies, eggs, toast, and cereal, along with beverages like coffee, tea, milk, and fresh juice
- Lunch, which could take place at the villa or out on the island, typically consists of sandwiches, salads, wraps, seafood, and pasta
- Dinners could take place at the villa, but for one or two nights, guests will eat out at local restaurants; dinners have vegetarian and vegan options as well as salads and a meat, chicken, or seafood main course, along with dessert, wine, beer, and rum punch to drink
- If you’re hungry throughout the day, then you can head to the LuxeFit refrigerator and pantry to find it fully stocked with fresh fruit, juice, chips, nuts, and protein bars; take whatever you like
LuxeFit Activities and Fitness
LuxeFit is a luxury retreat based around fitness and healthy eating. However, you don’t have to be an Olympian to participate. LuxeFit specifically addresses this issue on their official website, saying that they “cater to everyone” and all workouts come with modifications if necessary. The personal trainer tailors each workout to the individual.
You don’t have to participate in activities if you don’t want to. You can lay at the pool or beach all morning and go out every night, if you like. As LuxeFit explains, “this is your vacation”, and you can participate in as many or as few activities as you want.
There is no discounted rate for those who want to come on the vacation, but don’t want to participate in the fitness activities.
Outside of activities, you have free time to explore on your own. You typically have a few hours of free time each day. On one day, however, you’ll have 6 hours of free time.
LuxeFit partners with tour operators at each destination – so if you want to go scuba diving, horseback riding, or on other excursions, then LuxeFit can set that up for you.
What’s Included with LuxeFit?
Here’s what’s covered in your admission price with LuxeFit:
- Transfers from the airport to the retreat
- Six nights accommodation in a 5 star villa or luxury condo
- All breakfasts, lunches, and dinners
- All workout sessions (usually 2 per day), plus 3 yoga sessions
- All workouts led by an instructor
- Round trip transportation to all group activities during the week
Retreats typically consist of about 20 to 25 guests, although LuxeFit claims they accommodate up to 30 in some cases.
Guests are all ages, although the majority of guests are in their 20s to 40s. Nevertheless, the company claims their camp is popular with anyone who loves travel and fitness.
About LuxeFit
LuxeFit was launched by two women named Loren Ann Mayo and Holly Morris. Loren grew up in Florida and has a background in journalism and marketing, while Holly has an education in hospitality management and experience in the hospitality industry.
The two met at the University of Central Florida. They decided to create LuxeFit based on their shared passions of food, fitness, and travel.
LuxeFit appears to be brand new. The first mention of the company online occurred in March 2017, when LuxeFit issued a press release. That press release mentions that the company’s first retreat will be taking place at the end of April/start of May 2017.
Should You Sign Up For LuxeFit?
LuxeFit appears to be a new travel company. We couldn’t find reviews online. There are three trips listed on the official website – including the first trip that took place in Barbados between April 30 and May 6, 2017. Reviews should start to appear online in the coming days.
As far as luxury travel goes, LuxeFit appears to charge a fair price. You’re paying about $400 to $500 per night (airfare not included) for a vacation in a tropical destination.
That rate includes all your meals and all your scheduled activities (two fitness classes and three yoga classes per day) led by professional instructors. That’s certainly more expensive than most all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean – even the higher end resorts. However, LuxeFit isn’t catered towards travelers on a small or medium-sized budget.
If you’re interested in luxury travel, but want to feel good about yourself when you come home, then LuxeFit may be the right vacation company for you. Stay tuned for more LuxeFit reviews to appear online in the coming months.
