Jungle Fitness
Tree House Jungle Fitness is the training side of the estate — open seven days a week, and led by Pamela: co-owner, professor of physical-instruction techniques, certified in physical education by ISPEF in Río Negro, Argentina. Tae Bo cardio, Pilates with mat and elements, GAPS body-conditioning, and functional training fill the weekly programme, mostly in the mornings; on calm-sea days the Aqua Gym takes class into the warm Caribbean shallows off the lodge beach. Classes are $10 drop-in like the yoga sessions, personal training is available on request, and Pamela also gives massages by appointment. Timetables shift with the seasons — check the current schedule at reception or on the fitness WhatsApp (+506 8592 1764).
Your trainer
Pamela Rodríguez — co-owner of the lodge and the engine behind its wellness side — is a professor of physical-instruction techniques, certified in physical education by ISPEF in Río Negro, Argentina, with more than twenty years of teaching across Pilates, Tae Bo, and movement training. She runs the fitness programme under its own banner, Tree House Jungle Fitness, and if you want a plan built around you rather than a class, she takes private clients as a personal trainer during your stay.
The sessions
The jungle gym runs on group classes, most of them in the morning before the heat builds, and the mix leans on Pamela's specialities:
- Tae Bo — high-energy cardio kickboxing
- Pilates — mat work, plus "with elements" sessions using rings, balls, and props
- GAPS — targeted body-conditioning
- Circle Functional — functional training, circuit style
- Cardio Dance — conditioning that doesn't feel like counting reps
- The programme is open seven days a week; the timetable shifts with the seasons, so confirm the current schedule at reception or on the fitness WhatsApp
Aqua Gym — class moves into the Caribbean
On calm mornings the gym gives way to the sea. Aqua Gym is exactly what it sounds like: exercise classes held in the warm shallows just off the lodge's beach, with the water doing the work of the weights. It only runs when the sea is glassy enough to cooperate, which makes it less a fixture of the timetable than a small event — if it's on while you're here, go.
Massage & recovery
The other half of the programme is recovery: Pamela also gives massages, by appointment — a well-earned treat after a hard session at the jungle gym, and just as good after a travel day. Book through reception, or message the fitness side directly on WhatsApp at +506 8592 1764 for class schedules, personal training, and massage appointments.
