SOMA - GET FIT

Introducing SOMA GET FIT – Wellness Training and Retreats. SOMA GET FIT is based on the SOMA Method, which combines physical exercise with restoration, and Santa Barbara is the perfect setting for this unique and effective fitness concept.

Santa Barbara, CA (September 21, 2009) – The SOMA GET FIT Retreat format is designed to create a well-rounded and unique experience in Santa Barbara that not only inspires clients, but leaves them transformed both inside and out, departing with the tools they need to continue this format on their own and integrate it into their daily lives.
