Reclaim Your Drive, Rebuild Your Power
You´ve built success, but lost connection with your body, your energy, and your purpose
Are you so focused on achieving success that you've lost touch with the present moment?
Feel burned out, you´ve gained weight, and have no motivation?
These things aren´t just physical, they hit your identity as a man or a leader.
You crave more strength, clarity, and the fire to lead with purpose again, not just in business but in life
As business owners, we are familiar with the grind of constantly striving to achieve more, but we often forget to stop and take care of ourselves.
We understand the desire to build muscle, burn fat, sharpen your mind, and rebuild your confidence as the man you were meant to be.
You are in search of something deeper, a true connection with oneself and the world.
However, the weight of stress, anxiety, and the never-ending pursuit of success can make us feel overwhelmed and disconnected from our emotions.
Are you a 40+ man and find yourself asking these questions, or feeling like this?
Why do I feel like I’ve lost my drive?
I wake up tired, unmotivated, and disconnected from my body, my goals, and even my purpose in life.
I keep telling myself!
I’ll start Monday, or when life gets better, when I have time
Why am I feeling overwhelmed and stuck in a loop?
My situation is different, too complicated
It’s too late to begin exercising at my age, nutrition is too complicated, and time-consuming.
If you're seeking solutions to these painful challenges, know you're not alone.

PALENQUE CHIAPAS MEXICO
SACRED GROUND FOR TOTAL TRANSFORMATION.
There is a reason ancient civilizations chose this land.
Palenque, deep in the heart of the Chiapas Jungle, holds an energy you can feel the moment you arrive. It´s not just nature, it´s ancient frequency, still alive.
Home to one of the most powerful Mayan cities ever built, Palenque is more than ruins and waterfalls. It´s a portal, a place to disconnect from distraction, and reconnect with who you´re meant to become.
The energy here is dense, raw, and electric, the perfect mirror for men ready to shed the past, build a new body, and forge a new identity.
Every breath you take here is charged with intention
Every rep, every ritual, every moment is amplified by the jungle´s rhythm
This isn´t just a nature retreat.
This is sacred territory to rewire your brain, reignite your purpose, and rise as the man you came here to become.
Welcome to the Lab.

Intro to self-defense
Forever grateful for your guidance, José Luis. This retreat was unlike anything I’ve ever done. The Apex system is truly bulletproof. It challenged me physically, educated me mentally, and reconnected me spiritually, all in one place. The way you teach with purpose, clarity, and intensity made me feel prepared, not just for the workouts, but for life itself. You don’t just coach physical and mental strength, you forge men and leaders.
If you’re looking for a surface-level getaway, this isn’t for you.
But if you’re ready to evolve, this experience will change everything.
