https://www.instagram.com/apogeeescapes?igsh=aDhmanpzNjg3cW84&utm_source=qr Founded by Paul Stevens, a dedicated local personal trainer with a passion for the outdoors, Apogee Escapes is a fresh startup born from a transformative year of change, adaptation, and growth. Running alongside my established PT business, Apogee blends my love for guiding clients toward their best selves with bespoke retreats focused on four core pillars: Zen, Explore, Energise and Mindset. These past two years have seen some profound shifts—navigating a change in family dynamics and living circumstances. Through it all, I’ve committed to finding positives in every situation, turning challenges into fuel for inspiration. Forming a wonderful relationship with Laura who’s an integral part of Apogee. We’ve explored some wonderful gems around the UK and venturing further afield has sparked ideas for inclusive, purpose-driven escapes that foster self-discovery and personal development. Whether hiking scenic trails or exploring new horizons together, these moments reminded me of the power of nature to heal and connect. I’ve also drawn from thrilling events I head like The Five-Day Ridgeway and the Mudpack Challenge both in support of The Hospice of St Francis, Berkhamsted. My background in solo and group adventure has taught me the value of adaptability, community, and personal resilience, all of which infuse Apogee’s retreats. At Apogee, every escape is unique, designed to help you ‘find your summit, —whether close to home or farther afield. We’re about creating a welcoming tribe for men and women seeking to enhance their health, mindset, and social life through positive, cleansing journeys.

Our first retreat is officially open — and spaces are very limited! Click on the link in bio for more..

We’re heading to a hidden ranch in the mountains near Silves, Portugal. A place with wide open skies & rolling mountains a feeling you can’t quite put into words — calm, grounding, and a little bit magical. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down the moment you arrive.

This is not a luxury resort.
It’s an escape with true grounding vibes — rustic, soulful, and deeply connected to the land.

Your days will begin with optional morning yoga or a trek and slow, easy breakfasts. In the afternoons, we’ll offer a mix of activities — paddleboarding, sound baths, meditation, crafting, cooking workshops and more — all designed to help you relax, explore, and reconnect. Everything is optional, so you can join in as much or as little as feels right to you.

There will also be sauna sessions and cold plunges for those moments when you want to reset, and horse trekking through the mountains for anyone who feels called to experience the land in a different way.

As the sun goes down, we come together for long, relaxed evenings — sharing local Portuguese food and wine, listening to live music from local musicians, and enjoying that special feeling of being far away from everything that usually fills your head.

This retreat is intimate and intentionally small, and once the spaces are filled, they’re gone.

If you’ve been craving something that feels meaningful, grounding, and quietly beautiful — a chance to step out of everyday life and into something simpler — we’d love to have you with us.

Simply DM with your interest and we will send you a ‘Everything You Need To Know’ pack.

Please share & like and tag your friends in to be part of this and future adventures with Apogee Escapes.

Today’s the day where I can officially reveal our first retreat. It’s so exciting and daunting at the same time. It’s been many months of exploring, creating and being patient whilst learning from wonderful people around me. You have to “trust the process” and be patient with many things in life. If it feels right then stick with it and keep the positive vibes flowing.
