Lock and Load Retreats

Train with a Former World Champion.

Two retreats. Two ways in.

Boxing. Recovery. Mindset. Brotherhood. Led by Les "Lock N Load" Sherrington. This isn't about becoming a fighter. It's about becoming sharper in business, sharper as a leader, sharper as a husband, sharper as a father.

Prepare. Commit. Transform.

Who this is for

For men with skin in the game.

You're mid-thirties or later. You run a business, lead a team, or both. From the outside, you're doing well. The income. The title. The family. The gym membership you don't use enough.

But you can feel it.

The edge has gone. The discipline you used to take for granted feels like a slog. You're tired in a way no holiday fixes.

You don't need a wellness retreat. You don't need another bootcamp. You don't need a guru.

You need to do something hard, with men who get it, under someone who's done harder.

That's Lock and Load.

This is not for

If that's you, we wish you well. Lock and Load isn't your room.

The retreats

Meet Les "Lock N Load" Sherrington

He is the reason this exists.

Born in Townsville. Based on the Gold Coast. Twenty-three years a professional boxer.

  • 60 Fights
  • 42 Wins
  • 25 Knockouts

A career fought across every major sanctioning body in the sport. The WBO, IBF, WBC, and WBA.

A former World Champion who didn't just turn up. He stayed in the ring two decades.

His record speaks before he does.

Why he built this

After years inside the ring, Les started running fight camps in Thailand for everyday men. Business owners. Executives. Professionals.

Men who weren't trying to become fighters. They were trying to become a sharper version of themselves.

The transformations he saw in their bodies, their confidence, their leadership, their marriages convinced him this could be something bigger.

Lock and Load Retreats is the result. A premium, structured, scalable version of the experience he's been delivering by hand for years.

The brand name

"Lock N Load" is Les's professional ring name. It is also the name of this business.

That is not marketing decoration. The brand is built on the man. The man is the brand.

The Brotherhood

You don't graduate. You enter.

Lock and Load doesn't end when you fly home.

Every man who completes a retreat becomes part of the Lock and Load Brotherhood. A private community of men who've done the work, know the standard, and stay in each other's lives long after the camp ends.

What you keep

Most retreats hand you a sweaty t-shirt and call it done. We refuse to do that.

You don't graduate from Lock and Load. You enter it.

Answers

Common questions.

Do I need boxing experience or to be fit?

No experience required. Whatever shape you arrive in is the shape we work with. Les and the team have coached complete beginners through to amateur fighters, and the program adapts to where you are. What we ask for is willingness, not athletic background.

I'm in my late fifties. Is this for me?

Yes. Les has had clients in their sixties and seventies step into the ring in Thailand. The program is built around the man in front of us, not a one-size template. Age isn't the qualifier. Showing up is.

Do I have to fight in Thailand?

No. The Thailand retreat has two tracks you choose before you go. Train Only is ten days of authentic camp training with no ring at the end. Train and Fight is the same ten days with a sanctioned bout. Both are real. Neither is better. The transformation happens in the training, not the ring.

What's included, and what's not?

Gold Coast covers all coaching and training, ice bath and sauna at Fice Recovery, airport transfers, the meet-and-greet and final group lunches, and a take-home content reel. You arrange your own accommodation, day-to-day meals, and flights. Thailand inclusions are released with the next intake announcement.

What does it cost?

Pricing is shared once you've submitted an application and we've spoken. We do that on purpose. This isn't a shop window. The conversation matters, and the right number is different for different men depending on what you're walking in with.

What if I have an injury?

Flag it on your application. Most injuries can be worked around with adjustments to the training plan. If something serious would put you at risk, we'd rather have that conversation up front than have you arrive and not get full value from the week.
