What Can I Expect at the Aspen HPX Summit?

The annual Aspen HPX summit takes place on founders Sheldon and Katie Wolitski’s ranch outside of gorgeous Aspen, Colorado. It’s more than a retreat. Aspen HPX is a full lifestyle institute combining physical activity, mindfulness-based lifestyle coaching and grounding techniques. Tucked into the Rocky Mountains, the ranch is located on a scenic 40 acres overlooking a lake and views of Sopris Mountain. Our trusted experts approach each situation systematically, empathetically and with intention. Our goal is to deliver positive life coaching and high-performance training for sustained growth. 

Over three days in the Rocky Mountains, you’ll participate in a specialized itinerary led by a panel of coaches and speakers. You’ll stay onsite in comfortable glamping accommodations. We also provide a chef-driven culinary program throughout the summit to support peak performance and a range of dietary needs. Days typically start at 8 a.m. and quiet hours begin at 10:30 or 11 p.m.

While fitness is an important element of the summit, modifications are provided for all levels in order to get the most of the experiences. This community-focused program is an excellent way to meet ambitious and heartfelt people looking for practical tools toward intentional living. During your stay, you also have downtime to explore nearby trails, head out on additional adventures and connect with new friends.  

Who Are The Experts I’m Training With?

Our experts are selected to be the partner to help unpack it all by getting to the root of the how, why and way you approach personal goals and purpose. The summit is designed to deliver a multitude of techniques that create actionable and long-lasting change you bring home with you. Whether it’s different types of workouts, sleep hacks, stress reduction or leadership skills, we’ve partnered with the masters for a new approach to peak performance. A number of Aspen HPX coaches have contributed excellence to our program for half a decade.

Where is the Aspen HPX Summit Held?

Our annual HPX summit is held each year in the Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. We’ve designed this program to be individualized and intimate, so only a select number of participants are accepted each year. The founders Sheldon and Katie Wolitski host participants at their 40-acre ranch, complete with glamping accommodations, onsite culinary program, and community-building activities such as the live music, fireside chats, and sweat lodge ceremony. Aspen HPX is also located in the epicenter of outdoor adventure with white-water rafting, nature hikes and activities such as stand up paddleboarding all within reach.

How Do I Get to Aspen, Colorado?

Aspen, Colorado is home to an international airport where rental cars are available. Alternatively, Grand Junction Regional Airport is about 90 minutes from the valley, and Denver International Airport is a scenic four-hour drive for anyone comfortable with a bit of mountain driving.

Full directions to the 40-acre ranch where you’ll stay during the summit will be given upon acceptance and during onboarding for the event.

Depending on how long you’re planning to visit, it can be helpful to allow yourself a day to acclimate to the elevation. An added day can also be helpful for getting used to activities at high altitude and determining your comfort level before heading out on nature hikes where you climb more elevation.
