5 Day Personalized Fitness & Wellness Immersion on Lake Iseo

This is a private, five-day immersion focused on metabolic reset and mental clarity, led by Marie, a personal trainer and yoga instructor with over a decade of experience. The retreat is held at the Hotel La Pieve in Pisogne, a small town on the western shore of Lake Iseo, about an hour from Milan Bergamo Airport. The setting is deliberately low-key—no crowds, no tourists—just mountains, lake, and quiet streets, which is exactly what makes it work.

Each day blends physical training with mindset coaching and proper nutrition. There's no fixed schedule you have to follow; instead, Marie adapts the plan as she gets to know your body and your goals. You'll do a mix of scenic runs, core work, yoga flows, and hikes—like the trek up Monte Guglielmo, which tops out at 1950 meters with views over the whole lake. Afternoons might involve a workshop on the science of metabolism and performance nutrition, a session at the hotel spa, or simply free time to rest and explore the town.

The food is another highlight. Instead of a rigid retreat diet, you eat traditional Lombardian Italian food—think fresh pasta, local cheeses, lake fish, and seasonal vegetables—prepared by the hotel and local restaurants. Marie works with the kitchen to ensure meals are balanced for your goals, but you're not stuck eating bland health food. It's real Italian food, in sensible portions, and it's delicious.

The retreat is fully private, so it's just you and Marie (and maybe a friend if you book for two). That means every session, every meal, every bit of advice is tailored specifically to you. If you're a high-achiever who's burned out from making endless decisions at work and at home, this retreat takes all that off your plate. You arrive stressed and overthinking; you leave with a clearer head, a stronger body, and a straightforward plan to keep it that way.
