Inside Vive Más 2026: four days of science, training and health assessment with Marcos Vázquez (Fitness Revolucionario), Borja Bandera, Matías Mut and Antonio Valenzuela at our health resort in Valencia, Spain.
At Progevita we believe that longevity is not an abstract promise, but a process built with knowledge, habits and data about our own health.
This weekend we had the privilege of hosting the Vive Más 2026 retreat at our health resort, led by Marcos Vázquez (Fitness Revolucionario) alongside Borja Bandera, Matías Mut and Antonio Valenzuela. An event designed to move beyond theory and put into practice the concepts they regularly share in their newsletters, books and content on health, exercise and longevity.
Over four days, attendees explored the fundamental pillars of living longer and better.
Masterclasses on health, nutrition and longevity
The programme featured sessions where each expert addressed a key area of wellbeing and health optimisation.
Marcos Vázquez, founder of Fitness Revolucionario and one of the leading health communicators in the Spanish-speaking world, opened the event with a comprehensive view of longevity — how to optimise long-term health by combining exercise, nutrition and rest, the same principles he develops in his bestselling book Vive más.
Borja Bandera, endocrinologist, focused on nutrition and certain hormones as markers of metabolic health. Matías Mut explored the concept of a physiological reset through controlled cold and heat exposure to improve resilience. Antonio Valenzuela delved into the mind-body connection: how habits, social bonds and mental focus directly influence our biology and the way we age.
Assessment and data: the starting point for improvement
In line with Progevita's philosophy, the event included a core component: individual health measurement.
Our specialists conducted diagnostics evaluating immuno-inflammation, chronicity and body composition, giving each participant a clear picture of their current health status.
Attendees received a personalised report with biomarkers and recommendations as a foundation for their own improvement plan toward healthier longevity.
Many participants also chose additional functional tests, including a stress test to evaluate VO₂max — one of the most relevant markers of cardiovascular health and longevity.
Movement, nature and recovery
The longevity retreat blended knowledge with practice.
Mornings started with physical activation before breakfast: stretching, breathing work and gentle cardio to prepare the body for the day.
Afternoons featured functional activities and balneotherapy sessions, harnessing the thermal environment for recovery and relaxation.
One of the most memorable moments was the nighttime aquatic relaxation.
Breathwork, mind and nervous system
The final day featured a breathwork session led by our physician Dr Lorena Vela, grounded in neuroscience.
Through different breathing patterns, participants experienced first-hand how breathing directly influences the nervous system, helping regulate stress, enhance mental clarity and promote deeper states of calm and focus.
Community and nature
Beyond the science and measurements, the event was an opportunity to build community. Sharing experiences, questions and motivations with like-minded individuals is an essential part of any transformative retreat.
Progevita: longevity grounded in science and experience
Events like Vive Más 2026 reflect the essence of what we seek at Progevita: a space where health science, objective measurement and the natural environment combine to help people understand their bodies, optimise wellbeing and build real longevity.
Our health retreats are designed to offer more than rest: an environment to learn, measure, apply and transform habits that last for years.
Because living longer matters. But living longer with health, energy and purpose matters even more.
