Connection. Fitness. Adventure...

Join Us For An Unforgettable Experience  On Our DMIC Retreat in Loch Lomond 

"You Won't Regret It"

Your invitation to an unforgettable weekend in Loch Lomond, Friday 30th May - Monday 2nd June 2024.

Because you're reading this, you're a highly valued member (or former member) of the Dean McMenamin coaching community, and I'd love for you to join us on this amazing weekend of connection, adventure, fitness, great food, and more. 

Have you noticed that in our society men mostly come together to get wasted? 

It's rare to see groups of men who come together with the common goal of self improvement.

Men who lift each other up and push one another to reach their best. 

I fully believe that men need quality time around other men on similar paths to push each other and raise their standards. 

Combine that with an immersive few days in the Scottish outdoors, cut off from the mundane, every-day grind of society... 

... A few days of levelling up your training out in the sticks with an adventurous spin on it, and a tight-knit team of like-minded lads to push your limits.

That's what this retreat weekend is all about.

" It's been about 20 years since I've done anything like this. I go away with the family all the time, but I never do anything just for me. My workout technique has improved massively from the 1:1 coaching this weekend. I'd feel completely confident walking into a gym and using kettlebells. This, as well as the cold water exposure has given me the confidence to keep pushing myself and improving. If you're thinking about doing this, I'd say just sign up and do it. It's definitely worth it."

-David Hills, Father of 2, DMIC Member, South England

To sum it up simply ...

It's a 'man’ weekend packed full of high level fitness coaching and adventure. 

"Iron Sharpens Iron"

Modern society has us living fairly safe and lap-dog lives. 

I've had quite the experience from 11 years in the Infantry, two operational tours, two years of training soldiers as an Army Physical Trainer, and 8 years as a personal trainer specialising in men's fitness. 

This has allowed me to see that the vast majority of men in our society never get to experience an environment where they can focus solely on themselves, discover what their body can really do, and reach their full potential. 

This is why I started our annual retreat weekend. 

It's a chance for you to escape the grind and focus on you for a wild few days with like-minded lads, in a stunning remote location in Loch Lomond...

Make new friends with common goals. Push your training limits. Summit a mountain. Go on a mini adventure.

Trek One Of The Best Scottish Mountain Trails Going, Beinn Narnain (927m) Munro

The Cobbler is an iconic Scottish mountain, known for it's distinctive outline, and an additional challenge of 'threading the needle' at the top (optional, if you have the nerve for it).

Brave The Cold Morning Water Of Loch Lomond...

More and more people are turning to cold water therapy to decrease stress, boost recovery and overall health and well-being. 

 

But mostly, it’s a great way to increase your mental fortitude by resisting the impulse to bail out.  

 

I'll guide you though this as a team each morning, and we'll come out with a great sense of accomplishment to kick-start the day.  

 

Where better to practice than one of the most famous (and stunning) locations Scotland has to offer?


Acquire New Skills To Rapidly Reduce Stress & Accelerate Your Workout Recovery & Mental Wellbeing 


Want even better results from your training? 


Get better at recovery. 


Most men in today's society are chronically stressed and living in survival mode. Breathing exercises are scientifically proven to quickly reduce physical stress and speed up recovery.


Even special forces teams use focused breath work to both keep them calm during, and recover after high risk ops.


You’ll be guided through this with the group after each workout, equipping you with stress reduction skills you can practice anywhere, anytime.

Gorge Walking at Luss 

Get ready to explore rivers, slide down waterfalls, and take some big jumps with all the guys egging you on. 


We'll be taken through the gorges of Luss by a guide from In Your Element.

Private Speedboat Tour of The World-Famous Loch Lomond

It’s a 2 hour trek or 20 minute drive from our cottage to the Gorge Walking meet location.


You’ll have a physical weekend already, and I’m sure you’ll spend enough time in transport getting here, so I wanted to spice this part up for you...

 

We’re taking 1 hour tour of Loch Lomond on a seriously fast speed boat with the guys from the Loch Lomond Wakeboard Company, who'll drop us off at Luss pier next to the Gorge Walking meet location. 

 

I'm sure you're gonna LOVE this.

Here’s The Deal…


Everything is included in the price. That means all food and drink for days 1, 2 and the Monday morning, all activities and accommodation.


The only thing you need to worry about is getting yourself there.


 

The total cost is £997 (OR payment plan of £1097) and there's only 5 spots available. 

 

Now,  considering the going rate for this kinda thing, especially with such a small group, is usually in the £2,000-£4,000 range, I think that's a pretty fair price. 


Like I said, that covers everything - your accommodation, meals, snacks, and all activities. 

 

All you need to do is show up, leave the grind of life behind you for the weekend, strap in and enjoy the ride. 

 

All in all we'll be there 3 nights, the dates are Friday 30th May - Monday 2nd June 2025. 

 

Friday is just an admin afternoon to get settled in. So you can arrive early in the afternoon if you want to crab coffee, and check out the local scenery, or a bit later, whenever suits you.

 

And then we'll do the mountain on the Friday night, aiming to summit around sunset. 

 

Then, 2 main days of training and other activities are Saturday and Sunday. 

 

Monday morning will be a case of breakfast, tidy up, and check out.

1 - Go away and think on it, or 'maybe' join the next one, whilst others get their names on the limited spots ... And then kick yourself for not signing up when you see all the photos and others talking about how awesome it was on social media. 


Or...
