our manifesto

Being a part of our retreat is a choice.

A choice to say yes to the best of things;

The best of training, food, adventures and people.

A choice to leave the stress of your workday behind.

To get more sun, more sleep.

To move and nourish your body.

A choice to be a part of a community of likeminded people.

A choice to connect with your mind, body and soul.

Choose Locus.

A life-changing experience that you can’t quite put into words.

Where you focus on what really matters;

You! Your health, your vitality.

Come, join us, and thrive!

we are a unique team

 

We, the founders, bring a unique mix of skills and expertise to Locus Retreats. Born of a shared desire to create something that we can be proud of, Locus is a passion project with a commitment to quality and experience. We have created the experience that we were looking for: a place where training is enhanced, adventures are memorable and we are surrounded by interesting and inspiring people. Locus is what we longed for, but couldn’t find… so we built it.

Candice

From competitive gymnastics as a child to the CrossFit Games in 2011, Candice’s love of movement spans many fields. But her commitment to human development is not limited to the physical. As a CTI life coach, Candice firmly believes in the balance that comes from having your mind and your body in tune and connected, and in designing a life that inspires everyday. Locus is a core part of this vision - creating an inspiring place that shows guests the life that is possible if you design exactly how you want to live.

Ben

A lifetime of sports has taken Ben on many adventures. From assisting in international tournaments as a boy, to crewing live-aboard yachts off the coast of Australia, Ben has dived some of the world’s most beautiful spots and overseen commercial underwater projects. Adventures of all shapes and sizes. As a coach, Ben is a ‘mad-scientist’ of human development, unique movement & redevelopment. Locus provides a place to put the stresses of daily life on hold and focus on the movement, nutrition, recovery and experience that will allow the body to heal and thrive.

Vibeke

Introduced to the community of CrossFit by her husband, and then her children, Vibeke has seen what is possible when a community comes together to support and inspire each other. Her often quiet and thoughtful nature belies her focus and commitment to every project that she undertakes - bringing a clear vision of what is possible to life. Locus is a passion project born of the desire to create something to be enjoyed - an experience that Vibeke had longed for, but not been able to find. 

Lars Svendsen 3.jpg

Lars

Lars grew up in the sport hall! Taking part in every activity and sport that he could. His love of sport and fitness has stayed with him ever since. It is an imbedded part of his life, with his family, kids & corporate career. Lars is an achiever who makes time for his health & fitness on a daily basis. Having co-owned CrossFit affiliates in the past, Locus is the facility that Lars felt was missing - bringing everything he wants to see to a holiday experience, and providing the community a place to connect and indulge what they love.
