📈 How Participant Progress Is Measured & Tracked During a Performance & Lifestyle Retreat

At a Performance & Lifestyle Retreat—like those held at Mövenpick Cebu or AYO AYO Wellness—participant progress is typically measured and tracked through a blend of quantitative and qualitative methods designed to support personal growth, well-being, and performance optimization. Here’s how it’s usually done:

1. Initial Assessments

• Retreat facilitators often start with a baseline assessment, which include:
  • Physical fitness tests (strength, flexibility, endurance)
  • Lifestyle and nutrition questionnaires
  • Stress or wellness self-assessment scales (Whoop, Strava)
  • Personal goal-setting sessions

2. Daily Check-ins & Feedback

• Participants complete daily journals or digital check-ins to record:
  • Mood, energy levels, and motivation
  • Sleep quality and recovery
  • Progress toward individual goals set at the start

3. Wearable Technology & Biometrics (Optional)

• Some retreats use fitness trackers or smartwatches to monitor:
  • Steps taken, calories burned, heart rate variability
  • Sleep patterns
  • Improvements in physical activity and recovery

4. Midpoint & Final Evaluations

• At key points (mid-retreat and end), there are follow-up assessments:
  • Repeat of initial fitness or lifestyle tests for comparison
  • Reflection sessions with coaches or facilitators
  • Group discussions or peer feedback for shared learning

5. Action Planning & Take-home Reports

• Participants often receive a summary report:
  • Progress made on specific metrics and personal goals
  • Tips for continued growth after the retreat
  • Recommendations for integrating new habits into daily life
