training in one of the most breathtaking places on earth. This retreat combines intensive kettlebell training, outdoor adventure, and meaningful connection in an unforgettable Icelandic experience.

You’ll spend your days diving deep into Bell Mechanics kettlebell workshops, refining technique, building strength, and training alongside a small group of passionate, like-minded people. Between sessions, we’ll explore Iceland’s incredible landscape—hiking to waterfalls, taking in dramatic black sand beaches, and experiencing the raw beauty that makes this country so unique.

After a full day of training and adventure, we’ll unwind together, relax, share great meals, and build friendships with people who share your passion for strength and movement.

This retreat isn’t just about getting stronger. It’s about stepping away from the noise of everyday life, challenging yourself in a powerful environment, and returning home with new skills, new friendships, and an experience you’ll never forget.

Imagine yourself…

Here’s what to expect…

Training

Start the retreat with a 2-day Bell Mechanics Intensive Workshop, where you’ll learn how to take yourself through a full movement assessment, analyze kettlebell technique, and troubleshoot common issues. We’ll also cover how to intelligently program kettlebell exercises so you can apply what you learn long after the retreat ends.

Throughout the week we’ll continue training together with workouts that reinforce the concepts, refine your technique, and give you hands-on practice in a real training environment.

Relaxation

Throughout the retreat, you’ll have pockets of free time to explore, relax, or recharge between training sessions.

No trip to Iceland is complete without a rejuvenating geothermal experience, so we’ll unwind with visits to both the Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon, giving you the chance to soak, relax, and fully recover after days of training.

Adventure

This retreat explores Iceland’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems. On the way to Midgard, we’ll stop at stunning waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss—where you can walk behind the falls—and the hidden Gljúfrabúi.

Once we arrive at Midgard Basecamp, we’ll explore the surrounding landscapes with scenic hikes before settling in for a unique overnight experience under the stars.

Community & Networking

Meet and connect with coaches traveling from all over the world. Throughout the retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to share ideas, exchange experiences, and learn from one another—growing together as individuals, professionals, and world travelers.
