20 to 23 November 2026 Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Train with purpose. Recover with intention.
Join Chanel + Lewis for an intimate three-night training retreat in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Four days of purposeful training, movement and recovery, with chef-prepared meals, a private rainforest setting and time to properly switch off.
More than a training camp. A better kind of weekend.
Not a bootcamp. Not a yoga retreat. A considered weekend of purposeful training, movement, recovery, great food and genuine time to switch off, surrounded by people who enjoy training as much as you do.
1609. Training Retreat is a weekend built around finding the balance between training hard and knowing when to slow down. A space to move, challenge yourself, recover properly, eat well and spend time with people who care about how they feel as much as how they perform.
Across four days and three nights, we'll run, lift, move, breathe and recover together. There'll be strength and conditioning, group runs, Pilates, yoga, mobility and recovery sessions, alongside chef-prepared meals, sauna, ice baths, pool time, breathwork and a sound healing session, with plenty of space to switch off.
This retreat is for people who love to train but don't believe every weekend needs to be a grind. For those who want to get better, feel better and leave with a little more energy than they arrived with.
The work that makes you move better.
Pilates, yoga, mobility and movement sessions designed to complement your training, improve how you move and give your body something back.
Slow down. Refuel. Reset.
Swim, sauna, ice bath, breathwork and sound healing, alongside nourishing meals and unstructured time to properly unwind.

Your home for the weekend.
Set amongst the rainforest of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, just outside Noosa, our home for the weekend is a private property designed for slowing down, moving well and spending time together.
With a swimming pool, infrared sauna, ice bath and dedicated movement space, the property gives us everything we need for the weekend, from early morning training to long afternoons outside.
There are generous outdoor living areas, a large shared kitchen and plenty of space to settle in, connect and switch off.
For three nights, this is our space to train, recover, eat well and enjoy the company of a small group in a beautiful setting.

Meet your hosts
Chanel Korhonen + Lewis Horenko
1609. brings together our shared approach to training, movement and recovery, and the belief that performance is about more than how hard you can push.
Lewis brings a background in strength, conditioning and high performance, while Chanel's work spans Pilates, yoga, nervous system regulation and breathwork.
We each bring a different perspective, but share the same philosophy: train with purpose, move with intention and give recovery the same consideration as the work itself.
We created this retreat as an opportunity to put that philosophy into practice. A few days to challenge yourself, explore different ways of moving, recover well and connect with people who value both performance and wellbeing.
We're excited to bring the first 1609. Training Retreat to life and welcome you into the community.

Getting here
A little escape to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Set in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, just outside Noosa, our retreat is surrounded by rainforest and the natural beauty of the region. A private setting that feels removed from the everyday, while remaining within easy reach of the coast.
By car
Located in Doonan, the property is approximately 30 minutes from Noosa and around 1.5 hours from Brisbane. For guests travelling from the Gold Coast, allow approximately 2 hours, depending on your starting point and traffic.
Driving is a convenient option for guests travelling from the Gold Coast or Brisbane, with parking available onsite.
By air
For those travelling from further afield, Sunshine Coast Airport is approximately 40 minutes from the property, while Brisbane Airport is around 1.5 hours away. Sunshine Coast Airport is the closest option, while Brisbane offers a wider range of domestic and international connections.
We recommend hiring a car or arranging a private transfer from the airport, as transport options are limited in the hinterland.
Arrival + departure
The retreat begins on Friday afternoon, giving you time to arrive, settle in and ease into the weekend. We'll wrap up Monday morning, leaving time to travel home without rushing.
Check-in: Friday, 3 to 4pm
Check-out: Monday, 10 to 11am
The full address and arrival details will be shared with confirmed guests ahead of the retreat. We recommend allowing a little extra travel time so you can arrive relaxed and ready for the weekend.
