Frequently Asked Questions

Upon registration, we will send you an email with more details on your trip and suggestions on what to bring but here are a few items you may want to consider bringing:

• comfortable walking shoes (do no bother with high heels because of the cobblestone streets and uneven sidewalks)
• a pair of running shoes
• a couple of workout outfits
• sunglasses and a hat (although there are plenty to buy throughout town)
• light layers, (we recommend a light sweater for evenings and mornings)
• a journal
• a camera or cellphone

F.E.M. does not cover the cost of:

• your airfare
• alcoholic beverages
• tips
• personal shopping expenses
• other services or rentals

All classes and activities are optional but we always encourage you to join in if you can. The more, the merrier! Plus, what challenges you makes you stronger. 

Many of our guests come alone and we match up based on guest profile which has always worked out really well. All the rooms with separate beds are typically spacious and have a private bathroom. Plus most guests find that they are mainly only in the rooms to sleep as most tend to relax in the common areas (salons, terraces, pool, etc) when we're not in class, on daytrips, or having meals. It's up to you if you prefer the single room, but it's not required if signing up alone as we will pair you with another guest. The locations and villas differ on policy as some have extra rooms to offer and we can accommodate a single supplement at a reasonable price upon request. A couple of our locations have very limited space with just enough rooms for the number of guests in the retreat, so supplements tend to be higher as it’s mainly covering the cost of another guest. All details can be given upon request.

Unfortunately, San Miguel de Allende is a city made for walking on unevenly paved cobblestone streets. Also, during your trip with F.E.M. , we will be conducting fitness classes that will involve running, jumping, climbing many sets of stairs and walking long distances. 

Sign up by using the "Book now" link on any of the retreat pages after choosing your payment option (hold deposit or full payment). It will take you to a secure PayPal payment page. Once your payment has been successfully completed, we  will send you an official confirmation and welcome email with a disclosure and emergency contact form to fill out and sign, as well as any pertinent travel information you may need.
