Three days of training well, eating well and getting outside.

Kinfolk is a small, relaxed retreat for people who enjoy strength training, good food and wild places.

Each day starts with a strength session led by Blair Robertson. There are group walks and hikes for anyone who wants to join, but the rest of the day is yours to shape: walk, swim, rest, read, or simply switch off. Meals are home cooked by Blair and eaten together around one table.

Groups are kept small, so you’ll know everyone by the end of the first evening.

Better together

Training is easier in good company, and food tastes better when it’s shared.

Training side by side

Strength sessions are done as a group, so you train alongside people who enjoy it as much as you do. It’s about encouragement rather than competition: everyone works at their own level, and nobody is left to figure it out alone. Small numbers mean Blair can coach each person individually.

Eating around one table

Every meal is cooked from scratch by Blair and eaten together. There’s no counting, tracking or calorie control, just generous, honest food that you can enjoy fully after a good session. Plates are passed, seconds are encouraged and conversations tend to run on long after the meal is finished.

By the end of the retreat, people usually aren’t strangers any more. That’s the idea behind the name: kinfolk, a group who feel like family.
