Workout Away Retreats  Reviews 

This was my 5th retreat with Workout Away, this time to Lisbon. I’d met my fellow roommate on the Majorca retreat the previous September and we decided to book Lisbon together. It’s such a great way to make new friends, who you want to see again and travel more with! This is the 3rd retreat I’ve been on where I’ve gone with a friend I’ve met on a previous WA retreat.
The classes were great, as always, the hotel was lovely - gorgeous pool, and Chris was a fantastic host.
I’d recommend booking some nights either side to get the chance to see more is Lisbon and make a long weekend of it!

This retreat is a highly recommendable experience in many ways. If you are considering joining purely for the fitness benefits, you’ll definitely get them as the schedule is full of lessons to choose from. But, for me, the reward goes far beyond that, I have enjoyed a fun weekend away, discovered a new city and met wonderful people. I’m so very glad I joined this trip. I met lovely souls, shared plenty of laughs and came back to London with sore legs too!! Fitness & Fun!

Great weekend away with a warm welcome and a set challenging but well supported work outs

Wonderful, exhilarating experience. Challenging, well-run, great vibes.

My first ever fitness retreat, and I’ll certainly be back! From the very beginning of my booking experience I knew that workout away was going to be the perfect retreat for me. I had a few questions as a first time retreat goer, and no question was a silly question. Emily made me feel at ease, comfortable and nothing but excited for the weekend planned. Her responses were prompt and professional, always.
Before arriving at the retreat I was provided with all the information I could need, and even the things I didn’t think of for myself. I knew what to pack, what to expect and it was all spectacular. The Lisbon retreat was a weekend break and my only wish is that the retreat was longer! I didn’t want to leave, but I had only booked the weekend retreat to work around my work hours. I will be returning for a longer retreat that’s for sure!
On arrival to our gorgeous 5* hotel I received a beautifully branded gift bag with snacks, toiletries and a welcome note to add that personal touch. Our weekend was packed full of cardio workouts, core workouts and lots of culture.. exactly what it said it would be. Nothing disappointed, from fun workouts that also pushed me out of my comfort zones, meeting new life long friends, tasteful restaurants with everything catered to the guests needs, a beautiful organised walking tour, a few hours of spa relaxation, the list goes on.. it’s safe to say that the weekend was jam packed, with exercise and just the right amount of relaxation to balance things out.
Finally, a special mention for our fantastic trainer Christopher. His energy was contagious and fantastic to be around, a 7am workout being so fun is unheard of and Christopher is an absolute asset to Workout Away, his knowledge and understanding of exercise is impeccable. Each workout was tailored to our group to make sure everyone got what they needed from the workouts, without injury or harm. Thankyou Christopher!
So, If you’re looking for a premium quality retreat with fantastic staff and trainers, who take care of every detail.. I would highly recommend booking a retreat with workout away!!

Fantastic weekend in Lisbon with Chris and the Workout Away gang! Challenging but fun workouts, excellent food, a great group and a full itinerary - a perfect mix of active and relaxing, and a great way to see Lisbon. Going home with some sore muscles (nice pain…!) and a big smile!

Great team leaders and good activities chosen for the week. Learned useful exercises to continue myself

My first retreat with Workout Away did not disappoint! I joined some friends who were on their second retreat. It exceeded every expectation! I was quite nervous for the fitness side of the trip but I enjoyed every workout, both Kerry and Rose were so knowledgeable, fun and encouraging. Loved the variety of classes, the yoga with Rose and the solo run with Kerry too!
Absolutely loved the boat day, such an amazing experience, it felt really special!
Really interested in doing another in the future!

Rhodes.
1000% recommend. Amazing trainers. Brilliantly organised. Such an experience you won't regret. This was my 2nd retreat and I'd do another. ❤️ ✨️

My first time on a solo holiday and a workout holiday, so I was a little nervous but Emily and the team made the weekend full of laughs and amazing workouts all whilst looking over the beautiful sea! Will definitely book again x

Fantastic weekend on the South Coast, completely surpassed all my expectations. Emily, Nat and Rose brought so much energy with great workouts and all so well organised. The location was incredible - overlooking the sea, perfect for long walks up and down the coast.

I attended my first Workout Away retreat in Mallorca in June and it was wonderful. The communication was excellent ahead of the trip and our group was looked after brilliantly by Chris, Rose and Sophie during the week. They are professional and fun in equal measure. The workouts were varied and challenging and the Mallorcan heat definitely added a bit of extra spice. I would without doubt sign up for another Workout Away retreat.

I booked the 4 night Mallorca retreat and absolutely loved it.

The trainers were incredible, along with the workouts. There was a nice ratio of workouts and time to relax which was great.

Will definitely be booking again!

Five stars simply aren’t enough!

I’ve just returned from the most energising and joyful retreat with Workout Away, and I’m still riding the post-retreat high. From start to finish, everything was impeccably organised—seamless and stress-free, just how a getaway should be!

Emily and Amanda were absolute stars—so warm, professional, and endlessly motivating. Their energy was infectious, and they struck the perfect balance between challenging workouts and encouraging support. The sessions were top tier—fun, sweaty, and incredibly rewarding.

The hotel was fantastic, offering comfort and style in all the right ways. And the extras? They took everything to the next level. A lovely welcome pack, a fabulous dinner out with a sunset view, and an unforgettable boat trip made the experience feel truly special.

If you’re considering booking with Workout Away—do it! It’s a perfect blend of fitness, fun, and feel-good vibes with a team that genuinely cares.

My first Workout Away fitness treat and WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Emily and Amanda were brilliant hosts and instructors, the workouts challenging enough with flex to modify or even opt to chill instead. We had the most amazing evening catamaran cruise and the morning workouts before our flight home were a great finisher. Highly recommended!

Loved the experience. Beautiful hotel, great schedule, wonderful food, fab instructors, lovely hosts setting a warm & welcoming atmosphere throughout the week. I would highly recommend the experience, 10/10. We are returning home feeling rested and recharged! Thank you for the ideal Grecian break!

Just spent a blissful week with the Workout Away team in Crete. Amazing hotel, food was fantastic. Emily and Amanda's workouts were really challenging but really fun and I'm returning to London refreshed and renewed. Everything was organised to perfection and the sunset boat trip was an absolute treat! Thank you so much. I'll definitely be returning! :)

First retreat I done with workout away was Algarve and just done another in Mallorca on both retreats the trainers have been fantastic, so fun and lovely company.
The retreats are well organised and full of great workouts as well as gorgeous places.
I can’t wait to do another one with them next year.

Had a fab time on the Mallorca trip! Great mix of workouts in the sun and activities! Lovely hotel and the workout away trainers are brill! They go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need and make you sweat a lot!!

I went on the 4 night Algarve pilates retreat and it was exactly what I needed! The Viceroy hotel was a beautiful setting ❤️ It was my first time doing mat pilates but that didn't matter as Amanda is a great instructor and I managed to follow along. Both Emily and Amanda went around to correct posture/positioning which was super helpful. I came back feeling strong 💪thanks for a fab retreat!
