Apply HereThe Flyer Fitness Wild Wings Retreat is your opportunity to step away from the noise of your everyday life and immerse yourself in a space where everything is designed to support your growth. Over five days on a farm in upstate New York at Wild Arts Collective, youâll train with intention, move with purpose, and gain the kind of clarity that transforms not just how you flyâbut how you show up for yourself everyday!
This is where strength meets understanding.
Where effort becomes efficiency.
And where you begin to trust yourself in the air in a whole new way.
With only a handful of spots available, this retreat is designed for those ready to fully show up for themselves and their training.
If thatâs you â apply here đ
Apply TodayWhat You'll Experience
Each day, youâll step onto the rig with purposeâsupported by thoughtful coaching, intentional conditioning, and education that helps you understand why your training works. This isnât just about doing more⊠itâs about doing it better, with clarity and confidence.
Youâll fly daily (some days 2x daily), build strength that directly translates to your flying, and deepen your connection to your body in the air.
Off the rig, youâll be supported with nourishing meals, time to reset, and a small, like-minded community that is there to grow alongside you.
Set against the natural beauty of Stone Mountain Farm, this experience is intentionally crafted to leave you not only strongerâbut more capable, more confident, and more connected to your flying than ever before.
