The Female Athlete

An Endurance Retreat for Women

At Evoluzione del Gruppo, we believe that "elite-level" support shouldn’t be reserved for the pros. It belongs to every woman who shows up, laces up, and seeks to push her boundaries.

The Female Athlete is a premium, all-inclusive endurance sports retreat hosted at the stunning Château de la Motte Henry in the Pays de la Loire, France. This isn't just a training camp; it is a science-led, holistic immersion designed specifically for the female physiology. Whether you are a runner, cyclist, triathlete, or someone looking to conquer your first endurance challenge, this retreat provides the expert coaching, nutritional precision, and restorative environment needed to take your performance to the next level.

Approach

Recovery

Rest

We move beyond generic training plans to address the unique hormonal, biomechanical, and nutritional needs of the female athlete.

  • Personalised Precision: Your journey begins before you arrive. We tailor your itinerary to your specific goals—whether you’re training for a race, navigating perimenopause/menopause, or building a foundation of sustainable fitness.

  • Expert Coaching: Gain access to world-class coaches and women’s health practitioners. From technical analysis of your gait and stroke to seminars on cycle-synced training and hormone health, you will leave with the tools to train smarter, not just harder.

  • Elite Facilities: Train on our private 25m swimming pool, high-performance gym, and woodland running trails, or head out into the rolling hills of the French countryside for epic rides and hikes.

Performance is nothing without recovery. At the Château, we treat restoration as a discipline.

  • Performance Nutrition: Enjoy a curated menu designed by our nutritionists to fuel high-intensity efforts and support hormonal balance. Every meal is locally sourced, delicious, and tailored to your dietary needs.

  • The Science of Rest: Flush out the fatigue in our dedicated recovery suite, saunas, hot tubs, and ice baths. Supplement your training with guided yoga, pilates, or massage to ensure your mind is as resilient as your body.

Trade the "grind" for the grandeur of our 19th-century estate. With 27 acres of private forest and parkland, the Château offers a safe, inspirational environment to connect with a community of like-minded women.

  • Boutique Accommodation: End your day in an en-suite room with fine linens and roll-top baths or powerful showers.

  • Connection: Share stories over al fresco dinners, build lasting friendships, and rediscover the joy of movement in a supportive, women-only space.
