5 Day Action-Packed Fitness Retreat with Spa, Yoga, Surfing and SUP in Cornwall, South West England

Facilities

On this trip, you'll push further towards your fitness goals. If a sunrise circuits class on the beach sounds up your street, you'll love this escape. The HIIT and core training sessions are high intensity, sweaty and challenging. You'll wind it down with yoga-inspired classes to draw a balance in the training schedule. On two days of this programme, you'll head to surf and stand-up paddleboarding school to learn the basics or improve your skills.

With you for the whole programme is a Workout Away group fitness leader, who will be on hand at any time should you need anything at all. You will meet some new friends too! You'll join the group on day one and enjoy this programme as a team.

HIIT athletic and power

HIIT is a 35-minute high-intensity interval training session designed to burn calories, reduce body fat, and tone. This science-proven workout improves cardiovascular fitness, speed, agility and challenges your fitness beyond normal physical limits.

Revive - yoga-inspired workout

Set to cool beats, this 40-minute class improves your full body strength as well as flexibility, balance and coordination. The fast flowing movements and use of resistance bands provide us with a great conditioning workout that also gets your heart rate up. Although moderate intensity, you will certainly feel the burn in this workout.

Beach circuits

Made up of several stations, this high-intensity workout is a combination of exercises targeting your upper and lower body. You’ll improve your speed, stamina and strength with a fierce cardio kick.

Surf school

The group will meet surf instructors at Maenporth beach, close to the hotel. Before you head out onto the water, some safety and technique basics will be covered. Once you're ready, you'll take on some waves and practice your skills.

Stand-up paddleboarding

This session starts with a dry run on the beach, giving you the chance to learn some basic strokes. You'll then head out onto the water with the instructor and enjoy an hour and a half exploring the area around Gyllyngvase beach.

Hydrothermal spa experience

Once you arrive at the hydrothermal spa, you will not want to leave. Immerse yourself in the Cornish salt or rainforest steam room, the red cedar hot tub, or the Finnish herbal sauna. The 21 station hydrotherapy pool is the ideal place to ease away any aches or tension from your workouts.
