“Ignite Your Fire” A Women’s Empowerment Retreat with Jessica Rodgers

Playa Grande, Costa Rica

March 9-16, 2024

(with Guest Instructor Jessica Hoogendyk)

Have you struggled to connect with yourself and others over the past few years? Has it been difficult to find exercise you truly enjoy? Are you ready to find empowerment through fitness and friendship with like-minded women?

Join Jessica Rodgers and her community of strong and powerful women supporting and encouraging one another through mindful movement and new connections. Enjoy eight incredibly healing and rejuvenating days in beautiful Playa Grande, Costa Rica March 9-16, 2024. During this time, you’ll enjoy twice daily movement classes (Pilates, Barre, Kickboxing, and Bootcamp), delicious local food, a sunset sailboat excursion and lots of downtime to relax by the pool, go to the beach, get a massage or explore around the town. This retreat can be as active or relaxing as you like and will offer ample opportunities to be with yourself and connect with the group.

Imagine waking up everyday to the sounds of the ocean and howler monkeys, being steps away from a stunning beach, having three delicious meals prepared for you daily, and having zero tasks on your to-do list. Expect to leave feeling empowered, motivated, inspired and stronger than you were before. We welcome all people who identify as female in this all-levels women’s empowerment retreat.

Meet Your Retreat Leader

Jessica’s passion for fitness began several years ago when she took her first group fitness class in Los Angeles. She immediately fell in love with the community and the positive energy that being in a group setting creates. After several months of taking classes Jessica was encouraged to try teaching and soon after received her ACE Group Fitness Instructor certification.

Jessica is a certified personal trainer and a Master Trainer with Barre Intensity. She holds specialty certifications in TRX, HIGH Fitness, Schwinn, Pilates, and currently works as the Fitness Director at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness in downtown Chicago.

Jessica’s philosophy has always been that fitness should be fun AND functional. Her passion is educating both participants and instructors on how to move safely and effectively. When she is not working, Jessica enjoys spending her free time reading, hiking, and binge-watching Netflix with her husband David and their rescue dog Dingo.
