Four healthy and tasty meals everyday
Experience the Retreat
The programme is a lifestyle change course rather than a quick result. Over four weeks the trainers look for the root cause of weight gain or loss, and get to know your body's weak spots, allergies and injuries before working on the daily habits behind them. That time lets you learn form, breathing and heart rate training properly, so the routine becomes your own.
Each week holds five one hour strength sessions, two half hour HIIT sessions, five cardio blocks of sixty to seventy five minutes and six Hatha or Yin yoga classes. Four or five Tell Me Why talks explain the reasoning behind each choice. Meals are five small vegetarian plates a day with eggs, calorie counted, with one cheat meal eaten out each week and two fasting days
Why This Retreat Stands Out
This is the stay the trainers recommend for lasting change. With a month in hand, sessions move from being coached to being understood, strength rises to five sessions a week, and treks in the hills test the fitness you build, so by the end you can plan your own training and meals with confidence.

Food Details
A healthy and balanced food intake is one of the most important aspects of the program. As much as 80% of your results will be a reflection of the food you consume, and regardless of whether your goal is to lose weight or to gain muscle, the right fuel is crucial.
Here, we ensure that you are well fed, but with the right balance of vegetarian nutrition. The food we serve here is clean, hygienic, and most importantly, well-balanced.
Please note: We do not serve non-vegetarian food (with the exception of egg); therefore, the additional protein requirement will need to be supplemented.
For any student beginning their fitness journey, the composition of their meals here will be approximately 40% carbohydrates, 40% protein, and 20% fat, with some variations depending on metabolic typing.
While we keep dairy products to a minimum, your meal plan will include a variety of macronutrients, including fruits, cereal, oats, vegetables, nuts, greens, all grains, pulses, and eggs.
Meal plans are built based on fitness goals and medical conditions, and if necessary, we do cater to special dietary requirements, including raw food, lactose-free, gluten-free, and ketogenic diets.
Meals Provided: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, Brunch.
Diets Catered: Dairy-free, Diabetic-friendly, Gluten-free, Keto-friendly, Low-fat, Nut-allergy-friendly, Organic, Paleo-friendly, Raw, Sugar conscious, Vegan, Vegetarian.

OneONOne Fitness Retreat
In 2011, both Prahladh and Khushi started this retreat high in the southern hills of India. This is their dream venture, where they intend to bridge the gap by not only offering training programs but also helping students develop a fit lifestyle they can sustain long after they leave.
To achieve this, their first aim was to create a clean, secluded environment away from distractions like restaurants, alcohol and demotivating people. So the retreat was born in Kodaikanal, a home in the hills; not a hotel, not a resort chain, a home we still live in and run ourselves, with no sub-trainers, over 15 years later.
1ON1 Fitness Center offers a genuine 1 trainer-to-2-clients coaching model, providing individual attention throughout the fitness journey. Each guest follows a structured program based on their personal goals, fitness level, lifestyle and progress. Programs are available for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks.

Location Information
KODAIKANAL
•
TAMIL NADU

INDIA
The center is located high in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, at 2,133 metres above sea level. The property is surrounded by pine and shola forest, with clean, cool mountain air.
Kodaikanal's Air Quality Index typically falls in the “Good” range on the US AQI scale — often under 50 — while many major Indian cities run several times higher. In practice, that means guests sleep better, recover faster between sessions, and train with a resting heart rate that isn't also fighting heat, humidity and pollution.
The climate matches the altitude: daytime temperatures generally sit in the low-to-mid 20s°C, dropping into the mid-teens or cooler after dark. It's genuine mountain weather, well suited to outdoor training and walking.
This isn't a resort. There's no lobby, no check-in desk, and no rotating roster of staff. It's a home — the one the founders have lived in and personally run for over 15 years — and every guest who stays is a guest in that home, not a room number.
Despite the altitude and seclusion, the retreat remains easily accessible: Madurai Airport is roughly 120 km away, about a 2.5-3-hour drive, keeping the journey manageable for both domestic and international guests.

Travel Information
flight
The nearest airports to Kodaikanal are Madurai International Airport (120 km), Coimbatore International Airport (170 km), and Tiruchirappalli International Airport (195 km). Madurai is the most convenient option, with approximately a 2.5-3 hour taxi journey to Kodaikanal. Coimbatore takes around 4 hours by road. International guests can connect through major Indian cities such as Bangalore, Chennai or Mumbai before travelling to Madurai or Coimbatore.
train
Kodai Road Railway Station is the closest rail head at roughly 80 km, though it carries limited services. Madurai Junction is the more practical option, well connected with Chennai, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, Mumbai and Delhi, with both day and overnight trains.
From Madurai Junction a taxi covers the remaining three and a half hours up to Kodaikanal. Booking the onward car before you travel is worth doing, since the climb is long and taxis at the station are not always available late in the evening.
bus
State and private buses run to Kodaikanal from Madurai, Palani, Dindigul, Batlagundu and Coimbatore, and the Madurai route is the most frequent. The climb is scenic and the journey from Madurai takes around four hours depending on the traffic on the ghat section.
From the Kodaikanal bus stand, a local taxi covers the 5 km out to the house. Guests carrying luggage or arriving after dark will find a direct taxi from Madurai a good deal easier than the bus and taxi combination.
taxi
A pre-booked taxi is the simplest way in, and the only sensible option for a late arrival. From Madurai Airport or Madurai Junction the drive takes about three and a half hours, and from Coimbatore around four and a half.
App based cabs do not operate reliably on the hill routes, so book through a local operator or ask the retreat to recommend one. Give the driver the address at A3, Mil Heaven, Hill Top Road, Kodaikanal 624103.
car
From Madurai, head north west through Batlagundu and take the ghat road up through Perumal Malai into Kodaikanal, a drive of about three and a half hours. From Coimbatore the route runs through Palani and up the northern ghat road, taking roughly four and a half hours.
Both approaches finish on winding hill roads that are best driven in daylight and in dry conditions. Parking is available at the house, and the final turn into the gated community is easier to find with directions from the retreat than from a map alone.
FAQ's
Two villas hold six private en-suite bedrooms with hot water, wardrobes, warm linens, Wi-Fi and streaming television, alongside two living areas, two gyms and a heated yoga deck. Rooms are cleaned daily except Sundays, with linen changed weekly.
Five meals a day of vegetarian food with eggs, calorie counted and cooked from organic local vegetables, plus one non vegetarian meal out each week. Raw food, lactose free, gluten free and ketogenic plans can all be arranged, the last for an additional fee.
Yes. The retreat is a private house in a gated residential community with the trainers living on-site, and the group never exceeds six students. Solo travellers take a private room rather than sharing.
Two pairs of shoes for indoor and outdoor training, warm gym wear with full track pants and long sleeves, a hoodie, beanie, gloves and a buff for the cold morning runs, two one litre water bottles, a training belt if you have back issues, and medical tests less than three months old.
Yes. We first review your basic blood markers and, based on the results, recommend the supplements.
We can arrange most supplements available in India, except Essential Amino Acids (EAAs). If you’re coming from abroad, we can also help you purchase better-quality supplements from well-known, recommended sites.
If you would like us to arrange the supplements, a 10% convenience fee will apply.
Four weeks gives the trainers time to study your lifestyle and find the root cause of weight gain or loss, rather than simply training you hard for a fortnight and sending you home. It is the programme they recommend for lasting change, and the one that builds a foundation strong enough to keep going without them.
Recipes for everything served, cooking demonstrations for up to three dishes you pick yourself, and training on My Fitness Pal so you can track food and calories on your own. The nutrition and supplement classes teach the reasoning rather than the rules, which is what lets you adapt the routine once you are back in ordinary life.
Yes. The trainers strongly recommend this programme for beginners, as it leaves enough time to develop a fitness lifestyle and take it back with you.
Group sessions never exceed five students on this programme. Everyone still receives an individually designed plan, and students are paired by fitness level or trained separately.
Yes. Sessions are customised around injuries, age and specific goals, including training for an event such as a marathon or a hike, though the daily timetable itself does not change.
Further Details About the Retreat
Guests live in a small homestay with their trainers inside a quiet gated residential community, with Wi-Fi in every room and calm evenings out of respect for the neighbours. Please share medical tests less than three months old, any health conditions and current medicines before arrival, as training and meals are planned around them.
Meals are vegetarian with eggs, and allergies to gluten, dairy or nuts are catered for when mentioned early, while outside food and snacks are not allowed during the stay. A heart rate monitor is worn for every training session, and supplements are best bought before arrival as they are hard to find locally. Pack warm layers, two pairs of training shoes and a universal travel adaptor. Pregnant women, children under thirteen and pets cannot be accommodated.
