WHAT IS THE ANNUAL BBB RETREAT ALL ABOUT?
We can do this by focusing on diving into the 4 P’s.
- Physique: Transforming the way our athletes look, in regards to helping them reduce body fat and increase lean muscle mass so they can look athletic. This plays a huge role in the following P’s.
- Performance: We get people moving really well. Our training style helpts to increase skills, work capacity and strength through a large range of motion. We expand what our athletes think is humanly possible and then help them actually achieve it.
- Pain free: we help people our athletes get out of pain. Both physical and mental pain. We give them the gift of being pain free and expanding human potential through utilising our training and recovery strategies.
- Perception: we transform the way our athletes feel about themselves and their environment. We help them create an environment of acceptance and belonging that allows people to flourish and live a life on purpose.
We want to expand what people think is humanly possible and then help them actually achieve it!
We are redefining human performance and creating a community that appreciates excellence.
We want you to come along for a week away with us so that we can open your eyes to the same potential.
Each day we will be working through the hierarchy of strength and conditioning & nutrition so that you can understand everything there is to know about training.
Whether you’re a pure beginner or someone who is looking to take it to the next level, we’ve got you covered. We start with the basic progressions and dive as deep down the rabbit hole as everyone is willing to go.
Brando froths on this stuff, so if you want to know more about the science and principles of training and nutrition, he’ll sit there for hours and drum it out.
Get away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney and use this trip to fully switch off, take a fitness holiday or deep dive into the ways that Brando and his team live daily. Regardless of what you’re wanting from the trip, you’ll find it.
We combine the perfect amount of eat, train, chill, explore and party to make this a life-changing event.
EXample ITINERARY
Guests are to arrive whenever they like, as long as they are ready to go by either Sunday morning.
We will be checking into the Villa from 2PM Saturday, so if you’re around, feel free to come and join us.
