I had the opportunity to attend The Bali boxing retreat and it was an unforgettable week! Everything was so well organised making it a stress free experience! The training sessions were so much fun and I learnt a lot! They were just the right amount of intensity to really push me but still have enough energy for other activities. Recovery day with the spa/massage and bbq dinner on the beach was the highlight for me. It was such an amazing week of learning new boxing skills and connecting with like-minded people. They went above and beyond to create a friendly, safe and supportive atmosphere. I highly recommend Bali boxing retreat to anyone looking for a transformative and fun experience!

My name is Michael Roos. I’m a Scottish professional boxer currently based in Dubai. I joined a boxing retreat in Bali just before starting camp for my next fight, and it turned out to be the perfect way to reset and kickstart my preparations. The training, combined with Bali’s intense humidity, was a brilliant way to push my conditioning early on - the humidity is no joke. Luke’s coaching is sharp, technical, and accessible to all levels. He has a real ability to break things down clearly and spend quality one-on-one time with each person, regardless of experience. Whether you’re stepping into the ring for the first time or sharpening skills ahead of a pro bout, you’ll come away with something new. What really stood out, however, was the atmosphere. Everyone from different walks of life and ages connected instantly over a shared interest in the sport of boxing. We’ve all kept in touch since and built friendships that will last far beyond the retreat. Highly recommend the experience - whether you’re in camp prep or just looking to level up your game in a unique and special environment.

By day three, I was seriously wondering if I could move to Canggu. That’s how good this retreat was. The Bali Boxing Retreat is hands down the best value for money if you’re looking for high-quality boxing and martial arts training in an incredible setting. Luke Howard isn’t just an exceptional coach—he’s a community builder. He has this rare ability to meet everyone where they’re at, whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, and he creates an environment that’s inclusive, motivating, and full of team spirit. Luke is an amazing character who genuinely cares about giving everyone the best possible experience. His coaching covers everything—from solid fundamentals right through to the finer details of the sport—and I learned something new every single day. I even started writing daily notes, and each time I had 5–6 key takeaways to bring home. If you’re thinking about it—just do it. You won’t regret it.

I knew exactly what I was signing up for — solid training, a good environment, and a chance to level up. But what I didn’t expect was just how powerful the experience would be. Luke is an exceptional coach — focused, patient, and incredibly good at what he does. His ability to break down technique and tailor it to your level makes you feel seen and supported every step of the way. He doesn’t just teach boxing — he brings the best out of you. By the end of the week, he wasn’t just a coach, but a mate I genuinely respect. What really set this retreat apart was the people. There was an instant sense of connection and camaraderie. We trained hard, laughed harder, and formed bonds that I know will last far beyond the week. efficiently while maintaining excellent customer relationships.

My experience at the Bali Boxing Retreat hosted by Luke Howard exceeded my expectations!​ From the moment we landed, a personal guide assisted us, and Luke personally welcomed us at the villa. Throughout the retreat, dinner arrangements were well-organized, and Luke's strategically designed boxing sessions were both enjoyable and challenging. The camaraderie with like-minded fighters was rewarding, and despite the intense training, lasting friendships were formed. I look forward to returning, extending my stay next time around and train 1:1 with Luke.

I recently attended a boxing retreat in Bali led by Luke Howard and the Soma Fight Club, and it exceeded all expectations. The hospitality was truly exceptional, with the team ensuring every participant felt welcomed and comfortable throughout the experience. Luke Howard's professionalism shone through in his coaching approach, providing personalized guidance to each attendee. The overall experience was nothing short of incredible. The picturesque Bali setting added a unique charm to the rigorous training sessions, creating a perfect balance between intense workouts and relaxation. The attention to detail in organizing the retreat showcased the dedication of Luke and his team, making it a memorable and enriching journey for anyone passionate about boxing.

I had the best experience at Luke’s boxing retreat, I made so many friends that I have stayed in contact with since the retreat and learnt so many things over the week that I have been able to implement into my boxing and training since coming back home. Can’t wait to book another trip back to bali to train at Soma again hopefully soon.
