Medellin, Colombia: Gymnastics & Colorful Adventures
Small group training & expert coaching
We will be training at Colombia's top gym: Coliseo De Gimnasia Jorge Hugo Giraldo, and follow them on Instagram. Hugh Smith and a surprise coach will lead sessions focused on drills, spotting, and whatever else is needed to help you learn the skills you have always wanted to master!
Your Medellin home is in a walkable, tree-lined, lively neighborhood!
You and your new besties will live, eat, recover, and move in our beautiful room. It's located in the Laureles neighborhood, which is known for its safety, salsa nightclubs, cute cafes, and it's close to the gym!
Horseback riding, ATVing, iconic colorful towns & more!
We are all about the MORE! We will be visiting the magical Guatape town, hiking up La Piedra de Penol, exploring the Pueblito Paisa village, riding horses through the countryside, and zooming around on ATVs in the jungle! Plus, nightlife, art, and so much more!

What do other adult gymnasts think of our retreats...
I have absolutely loved these Adult Gymnastics Retreats! So much, in fact, that I am a three-peater!! Cancun, Iceland, and Malta (I even brought my mom!) 2025 all offered amazing coaching, incredible dining and exploring, and building friendships with fantastic people who all love the sport. It's such a unique and fulfilling experience where I learn so much and have the best time. Can't wait to see where in the world we'll be flipping and adventuring in next! - Casey (Cancun, Iceland & Malta)
Best retreat! Best coaches--amazing tips and advice! My skills increased by 60%! I LOVED all the extra stuff -- meditation under the stars at the beach, pool time, beach time, cacao ceremony, fire show, and I made amazing friends! -Audry (Cancun 2x)
It's everything! I feel so good and supported I felt like it was hand-tailored for ME!
All the things - gymnastics, yoga, breathwork, cacao, beach, travel, swimming, and amazing people! Such gratitude to Adult Gymnastics Retreats for hosting this incredible adventure! Can't wait for the next one! -Catherine (Cancun, Iceland & Malta)
Before the Malta retreat, I had only done gymnastics a few times in my life, but the retreat was everything and more! It gave me a safe and planned out vacation, (never traveled internationally), I got to try so many new things like Silks, sailed around islands, went to wineries, and made amazing new friends! I loved it all, and can't wait for my next retreat! -Shea (Malta)
This was my perfect trip because I didn't have to miss out on doing gymnastics - in fact, I got expert coaching and spotting by Olympians - while I was on an amazing vacation! It's the best concept: gymnastics and a super fun vacation!! Malta was amazing, beach life, sailing, dinners in ancient towns! -Jackie (Malta & Cancun)
What I loved most was the perfect balance of hard work, fun, and rest—we pushed ourselves, laughed a lot, made new friends, and still found time to unwind in the stunning surroundings. It was the kind of experience that left both my body and mind feeling stronger. -Christie (Iceland)
