Your Ultimate FitPro Retreat Experience is Back for Year Two!
- Dates: May 2-5, 2027
- Location: The Wigwam Resort | Litchfield Park, Arizona
Summit in the Sun is back for its second year, a 4-day education and restoration experience for instructors, trainers, and industry leaders ready to grow their teaching, build a stronger business, and return home inspired and refreshed.
Set at the iconic Wigwam Resort, this is where education meets true restoration, with exclusive programming, meaningful connection, and space to recharge. An earlier date this year means cooler mornings and evenings, so there’s time to enjoy everything Arizona has to offer between sessions.
What Makes Summit in the Sun Different
- Education you can’t get anywhere else. Every workshop and session is written fresh for this retreat, so you walk away with ideas and choreography you won’t find at any other conference.
- Networking that actually happens. Poolside, at the fire pits, over dinner, the connections here are built into the schedule, not squeezed in between sessions.
- Learning and restoring in the same weekend. Growth takes recovery too, so we built in real time to unwind between sessions instead of asking you to choose one or the other.
- Earn while you’re here. Walk away with 10 to 15 CEUs across ACE, NASM, and AFAA while you’re fully immersed in a retreat setting, not a conference room.
- More time outside, built in. Early May brings cooler mornings and evenings, so sunrise workouts and nights by the fire pit are part of the schedule this year, not an afterthought.
- Brand new programming. Be among the first to experience new FPP programming live in person.
