Robbie Barlow
A Journey of Overcoming Obesity
Welcome to Infinite Retreats, where the vision is rooted in a deeply personal journey of overcoming obesity, building resilience, and embracing holistic wellness. Founder Robbie Barlow’s transformation began during a holiday with friends, an unexpected turning point that ignited a long-term commitment to health and personal growth.From Resistance to Rebirth: A Founder’s Story
Robbie had always resisted exercise, especially running. But when a friend encouraged him to join a morning jog, the support of the group helped him push past his embarrassment. Despite struggling through that first run, Robbie got up and tried again the next day, a small but powerful moment on his path to overcoming obesity. This early breakthrough, followed by time at the gym, strength training, and embracing healthy whole foods, marked the beginning of a profound transformation. Within months, Robbie had lost over 100 pounds and broken free from the grip of an eating disorder, milestones in his journey of overcoming obesity.
Building Infinite Retreats
This experience led Robbie to understand the true value of community, empathy, and sustainable change. What started as a personal health journey became the foundation for Infinite Retreats: a space designed to help others find their path to wellness and support them in overcoming obesity and other life-limiting challenges
Evolving Through Experience
Over more than a decade, Robbie has immersed himself in fitness, wellness, nutrition, music, and entrepreneurship. His experience with overcoming obesity gave him both the personal and professional insight needed to support others on similar paths. Robbie explored everything from boxing, trail running, and weightlifting to hot/cold therapies and psychotherapy. Each of these tools contributed to his transformation, helping him realise that the more he challenged himself, the more empowered he became.
A Sustainable Life After Overcoming Obesity
Today, Robbie lives a sustainably healthy lifestyle, travels frequently, attends music events, and runs a record label, proof that overcoming obesity is not just about weight loss, but reclaiming your joy and purpose. His life before was marked by poor health and low self-esteem. Now, as a self-actualised individual, he channels his story into supporting others at Infinite Retreats, empowering each guest to believe that overcoming obesity is possible through community, consistency, and care.
