FranklyFitness at Rosewood Little Dix Bay

For 5-years FranklyFitness and Little Dix Bay enjoyed a wonderful working relationship. Our partnership started modestly in 2011 with a curated Wellness Retreat Series that quickly catapulted into a year-round offering providing guests with more than 2,600 services and amassing dozens of media features in outlets such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and Conde Nast Traveler, among others. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to enhance the guest experience at Little Dix Bay and help position the resort as a top wellness destination in the Caribbean.

“Frank was able to build a unique wellness program for Rosewood Little Dix Bay… He incorporated the unique and beautiful setting into the routines and enhanced the guest experience while maintaining a profitable model for the fitness department… I highly recommend working with him and applying his business model to any property.”

“…so insightful of Little Dix Bay to invite someone of your caliber, expertise and knowledge to lead a fitness week. Having taken classes all over the world I can honestly say that your excellent people skills radiate into positive energy that makes for a benecial and fun workout. Looking forward to being with you again in November!”

 

Inge Judd

Owner, The Inn at Cornucopia, Virgin Gorda

“Typically, when my family goes on vacation the last thing we want to do is attend a fitness class… We loved the first session so much that we attended again the next day… And then we signed both children (8yr girl, 10yr boy) up for their jump-rope classes. My kids had so much fun… I can only hope that Rosewood will continue to provide such excellent trainers to all the Rosewood resorts.”

A metabolic mix of sport specific drills to play and feel your best! Get moving with multidirectional speed and agility drills, practice efficient biomechanics for total-body strength, and re-engineer your body’s fuel delivery system with anaerobic circuits designed to ignite your metabolism.

“I was there for the FranklyFitness program, which was fantastic. Frank and his team made my vacation—I’ll return when they are doing that program again.”

 

Howard Kritchman

“We came into this “babymoon” expecting a beach vacation and we got everything we hoped for and more. Most memorable was the service and athletic coaching provided by Frank Baptiste and Austin in the fitness center. These guys both went far out of their way to make sure I was getting good coaching and also my (pregnant) wife was comfortable. These guys are top notch and an incredible addition to this Rosewood experience.”

Employee and Community Wellness

During our time on Virgin Gorda FranklyFitness positively impacted the LDB staff and the local community oering complementary weekly group classes for employees and discounted 1-on-1 coaching for the management team. In 2015 our Biggest Loser health campaign motivated employees to lose an average of 8-pounds per person, with the “biggest loser” having lost 23-pounds!

We then collaborated with the BVI Ministry of Health to host a Wellness Summit for guests from the local Diabetes Association, Cancer Society, Department of Agriculture, Catholic youth groups and others to present ndings from the Chronic Disease Risk Factors study and inform attendees about strategies and solutions to challenges facing the region.

A few times each year, we also hosted local elementary students from the Little Rainbow School during their physical education period to support their young path towards health and wellness.

  

“Katie and I both thoroughly enjoyed the class we took— you certainly got me rethinking my approach to fitness and my workouts!”
