Who Is Power Up?

Power Up is an attainable, luxury lifestyle brand founded on a simple idea: With every Power Up retreat you purchase, Power Up will make a donation to charities that support children in need and our global environment. It is a socially responsible brand with a mission deeper than beauty, fitness, and fun. Power Up is about personal empowerment and the power to help others. And it is with respect for land, water and our shared humanity that Power Up retreats were conceived as the perfect girlfriends' getaway with a larger purpose in mind: giving back.
