Most people realise that you don’t have to be a professional athlete to reap the benefits from reaching and maintaining your peak physical form. Your effort to stay in shape makes many aspects of your life easier and more rewarding. 

Chiva-Som’s Optimal Performance Retreat, hosted at our Thailand resort, helps you attain your optimal level of physical fitness development and teaches you how to maintain that level once you've reached it. 

Fitness Affects Your Professional and Personal Goals

Being at the peak of health means that not only is your body operating at its peak level, but your mental health is also at its optimum level. Thinking and performing at the top of your game will have a major positive impact on your professional reputation and your daily performance. You’ll have more energy to devote to the needs of your family, especially young, energetic children. You’ll become more engaged and enjoy the time you spend with them more.

Explore the Wealth of Retreats at Chiva-Som

Embarking on a physical fitness retreat at Chiva-Som in Thailand is an excellent way to discover and explore the many other specialised rehabilitation and recovery programmes and retreats we have. 

Many of our guests never intended for their health slip, but found that illnesses, disabilities, or addictions have caused many of their health issues. Chiva-Som provides a safe place and the professional help you need to get your health back on track. 

Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery and a supportive network. Our resort is located on the beach beside the Gulf of Thailand. It's a resort of tropical gardens and pools, beautiful guest rooms and facilities designed to encourage a lifestyle of health and wellness.
