Our Method: The RDS Health Resort Philosophy
Discipline. Simplicity. Results. Backed by decades of experience, delivered in paradise
The RDS Purpose
The RDS Health Resort in Bohol, Philippines is a results-driven long-stay weight loss retreat combining ancient practices with elite training. More than just a fitness retreat, it’s a lifestyle reset.
Recognized as one of the top fitness retreats in Asia, our Bohol-based resort merges science-backed training with holistic traditions. Founded by Scott Bird, this retreat was created for one reason:
To help people reset their bodies, sharpen their minds, and reclaim their health — without hype, gimmicks, or fluff.
Whether you’re here to lose weight, detox, rehab an injury or finally take control of your lifestyle, this space offers real transformations guided by decades of experience in elite training, ancient wisdom, and holistic wellness.
The Health Resort is part of the Rising Dragon School ecosystem, developed over nearly two decades of coaching experience in martial arts, physical conditioning, and personal transformation.

Our Philosophy
We believe in a simple, powerful formula:
-
Discipline over distraction
-
Movement and stillness
-
Fasting, clean food, and breath
-
Environment shapes outcomes
Every element of the retreat — from the private, coastal setting in Bohol to the early wake-ups to the deep rest — is designed to strip away distractions and support deep lifestyle transformation and reconnect you to your potential.
This isn’t about soft resets or spa weekends. Our philosophy builds warriors—not just in the gym, but in life.
