Somatic health and well-being for sustainable living!

SOMA Get Fit provides our clients with unique multi-platform physical fitness, well-being programs and getaways unlike any other seen in the retreat industry today. Designed and directed by Santa Barbara resident Scott Crawford; SOMA Get Fit takes a multi-modality approach to enhancing physical health and mental well-being as the key to whole healthy living.

  We apply advanced techniques in training, cutting-edge knowledge in exercise science, sports psychology and custom-tailor workouts and training regimens to fit not only your specific fitness needs but also your individual likes, personality, environment and lifestyle. Training everyone from the novice to the advanced adventurer to the seasoned athlete. And all while being mindful on the ecological footprint we leave behind.

  We specialize in making training experiences dynamic, effective and invigorating while at the same time inspiring, relaxing, rejuvenating and sustainable for long-term goals and living. Above all we positively inspire all our clients to take the exercises, the broader approaches to fitness and mental outlooks we can teach beyond the doors of the gym and into the fabric of their daily lives and communities.

Without the natural beauty of Santa Barbara, SOMA Get Fit would not exist, so in gratitude for its naturally beauty, we have created a partnership with Trees For the Future and contribute to the planting of new trees for every retreat that we book.

What sets SOMA Get Fit apart from other training and retreats:
SOMA Get Fit sets itself apart from traditional gyms and more typical forms of training and retreats by offering dynamic, challenging full-body workouts across several modes of exercise and wellness, all within a single daily session, multi-day stay, or long-term sustainable retreat; all lead by highly trained and knowledgeable specialist trainers that are personally chosen for the client. Whether our clients are strength training, hiking, biking, kayaking, horseback riding or wine tasting our SOMA Get Fit team are the crème de la crème of the fitness and health industry as we exemplify team and service, connecting everything from our holistic methods and sustainable actions. Each of our clients’ ultimate health and well-being, as well as their personalized experience and receiving of service, is of utmost importance to SOMA Get Fit and our team!

Traditional gyms and training programs will generally confine you inside, forcing you to workout within their usually too-small, occasionally over-ripe facilities. SOMA Get Fit gets you outdoors and allows you to be the creator and dreamer of your health and well-being with our specialized team. Our philosophy: In Santa Barbara, California—there are beaches to the right, mountains to the left, parks in the middle, and sun virtually every day—let’s get out there and enjoy it! The benefits of beach, mountain, and park training, however, go beyond those of aesthetic pleasure and mental inspiration. These settings provide varied terrains and destabilized workout environments—the perfect opportunity for destabilization training, which forces you to engage specific suites of muscles for balance and reaction that tend to remain under-stimulated in more stable, gym-based environments.

Furthermore, ordinary fitness programs will typically rely on some form of weights-based resistance training and stationary machine-based cardio. At SOMA Get Fit we take measures to prevent the monotony and performance peaks that come with such workouts—workouts whose redundancies can prove tedious and psychologically underwhelming while leading to plateaus or even underdevelopments in unused neuro-muscular structures. SOMA Get Fit puts a premium on varying both workout environment and style of activity. We emphasize training across the modalities (integrated functional training, Pilates, bodywork), within a variety of settings, and over a range of physical activities.

SOMA Get Fit’s methods and philosophies serve our clients by creating holistic fitness environments where both the body and mind will be stimulated, integrated, strengthened, and fine-tuned!
