National triathlon coach Ani de Leon-Brown, mixed martial arts champion Mark Striegl and volleyball pro Bea Tan led a fitness retreat before the Lenten break with the aim to lure more people into embracing a healthy lifestyle.

The Active Health Fitness Retreat at exclusive Balesin Island Club in Polillo, Quezon, kicked off with a running clinic led by Brown and was capped by a sunset yoga session conducted by triathlete Elle Adda.

Wellness tips from Dr. Jason Penaranda, a workout session led by Striegl and a beach volleyball match graced by former Ateneo player Tan marked the final day.

The details of the second edition will be announced soon.
