The Classes.

Workouts are what we do best. From team bootcamps to strength and mobility sessions, our expert coaches run daily classes for all levels. Whether you’re just starting out or already deep into your fitness journey, our tropical workouts are tough but always welcoming.

Yes, there will be burpees. Yes, you’ll sweat buckets. But you’ll be surrounded by good vibes and great people – we call them the Makahiya Massive – and there's no better motivation than that.

The Studio.

You’ll climb fewer steps to reach our Studio than Adam’s Peak, but the views are nearly as breathtaking. Perched at the highest point of the Makahiya retreat, our open-sided exercise space offers stunning tropical vistas, including paddy fields, palm trees, and distant hills. Here, you can join a variety of classes, such as HYROX, boxing, and mobility sessions. The space is also equipped with RowErgs, SkiErgs, and boxing bags. On a clear day, you might even spot Sri Pada (Adam’s Peak) on the horizon.

Go big with a bodyweight workout, build muscle using our huge range of outdoor equipment or join one of our regular team workouts for a high-intensity mix to make you feel the burn.

The Pool.

Keen to make a splash in Sri Lanka? Take the plunge with our infinity pool. Fringed by scenic greenery, the 16-metre length makes Makahiya’s big blue bath great for swim sessions. It’s also home to our unique underwater workouts, which challenge you to get comfortable being uncomfortable through a range of carefully curated exercises. Or just dive in to cool off: it’s the ultimate way to reward your aching body.

The Therapies.

ICE BATH

A cold shower might seem appealing after a sweaty day in Sri Lanka, but our ice bath will take your recovery to the next level. Cold water immersion can accelerate your recovery and prevent muscular swelling after an intense workout. Ask us about ice bath sessions supervised by our expert trainers.

SPORTS MASSAGE

Take a bumpy tuk-tuk ride and your body will receive a backseat bruising. Looking for more effective pressure therapy? We have specialists on hand to offer deep-tissue sports massages. Whether you have a knot that needs kneading or want full-body relief, speak to the Makahiya team to arrange a massage in our dedicated therapy room.
