5 Reasons The Fit For Life Retreat Is a Great Holiday Choice

The Fit for Life Retreat – a Great Holiday Choice!

I’m hosting the Fit for Life retreat at AzulFit in Fuerteventura between 22-29th of October this year (2016). It’s a bespoke package that has been put together with the guest experience at the front and centre.

The Fit for Life retreat will be the perfect mix of HIIT circuit training, Yoga, Pilates, Mediation, Massage, Surfing, Cycling and relaxing in your own purpose-built villa.

Yes, it’s going to be amazing!

If you needed any more convincing, here are 5 reasons why the Fit for Life retreat is a fantastic holiday choice for you…

1. The Fit for Life retreat is the best value health and fitness retreat on the market.

When doing my research and looking at the type of retreat we could put together, I spent a long time looking at other fitness holidays.

There were pure yoga retreats – 4 days in basic accommodation for £1200. I enquired about a cycling excursion – that was a 5 day ride and would cost me £750 and I’d have to supply all of my own kit. I could do a fasting retreat in Cambridgeshire for £1999 – no food, just water and vitamins. No exercise, just a room. Nearly 2 grand!

With the fit for life retreat we are offering 4 HIIT classes, 3 Yoga classes, 3 Pilates classes, a massage, daily breakfasts, 5 evening meals, accommodation, 2 days of surfing lessons, a guided bike tour and mediation classes.

All of the above is included in the price, which starts at £615!

2. Low stress holidaying – excursions are taken care of.

When you arrive at a new place, you can often waste a day or two whilst you learn your way around, familiarise yourself with the new surroundings and get your bearings.

With the fit for life retreat, you won’t need to do all of that because there are guides there. Without the need to learn your new location, you can get right down to the business of relaxing and enjoying yourself.

Your daily routine is loosely established too. From arrival you’ll know the classes,  activities and trips. You’ll also know their locations and the timing of each. It means you can decide what to do with the rest of your time, whether you head to one of the beaches, enjoy a relaxing time at the villa or head into town.

Local knowledge will mean there’s no need to waste time exploring the island to find places of interest and importance. It’s take care of.

3. You’ll leave feeling fitter, healthier and relaxed rather than fatter, more tired and less healthy.

I’ve worked in the fitness industry for over a decade and I’ll tell you there are two times of the year when people put on a significant amount of weight…

Christmas and their summer holiday.

Wouldn’t it be nice for a change to come back from a holiday feeling fitter, healthier, leaner, more relaxed, recharged and de-stressed? It certainly beats returning home having put on 10lbs and feeling totally and utterly knackered from the late nights and the boozing.

The fit for life retreat has been carefully planned to space out your activity to allow for recovery, relaxation and repair whilst still making sure your training is going to be very effective.

Add to that the fantastic food you’ll be served on site and you’ll leave your weeks’ holiday in Fuerteventura feeling incredible.

4. You’ll meet like-minded people.

Have you ever been on holiday and been befriended by a person/couple/family that you don’t really have anything in common with, but you seem to end up eating at the same time, going on the same activities with etc?

At the fit for life retreat you’ll be mixing with people just like you – interested in health, fitness, nutrition and looking after themselves. You won’t have to share small talk with people you just don’t have anything in common with.

There’s nothing quite like a shared experience either when it comes to forming lasting friendships. A holiday, an event, a memorable few days in the sun. Hopefully, we’ll all make friends for life from the retreat.

5. The timing – winter sun!

The timing here isn’t an accident. At the end of October the UK winter is beginning to bite pretty hard. It’s cold, it’s dark and the thought of a week in the sunshine will be nothing short of paradise!

For a week in October, rather than do battle with the traffic, the rain and the wind, wake up and take part in an exercise class in a private studio or on a warm, golden beach.

Let someone else cook your breakfast, then eat it at your leisure on a warm, sunny morning.

Head off to the beach for the day, do a little surfing and sunbathing. Read a good book, forget about the winter back at home. Head back to the villa for an evening Yoga or Pilates class, before being served an amazing feast full of fresh, vibrant and healthy food.

Spend your evening having a drink and a wander around the bustling resort town.

No brainer really.
