Workout Away Retreats  Reviews 

I booked the Algarve trip "on a whim" the week before it was due to start and boy am I glad I did it!!

The booking process was super efficient and Emily was wonderful. She onboarded me with ease and her communication was top-class.

The retreat itself was exceptional. Luxury resort, experienced trainers (Luke and Nat) who went above and beyond both during classes and during downtime and a great mix of classes - HIIT, running, paddleboard, cycling, yoga, tai chi. The food was incredible - loads of veggie and fish options (and you won't get karate chopped for picking up a pastry - or four!).

As a pretty regular gym-goer I was really impressed with the set up (smart scheduling of classes) and have taken away so much from the experience - both physically and mentally. I was particularly nervous about the paddleboarding (only learning to swim now!) yet the team backed me 100% and got me out on to the lake - felt amazing.

It would be remiss of me not to mention my peers - like-minded, wonderfully warm folk all on their own journeys yet keen to connect and share. Genuinely such an amazing group of people and I am confident I've made some friends for life.

Stop thinking about it - book it now!!

I just got back from an incredible workout retreat in the Algarve and honestly, it blew me away. The trainers were fantastic – knowledgeable, motivating, and super supportive. Communication before the trip was spot on, which made everything stress-free from the start. The hotel and setting were beautiful, and the schedule struck the perfect balance between challenging workouts and much-needed rest and relaxation. We also got to enjoy fun activities like paddleboarding and a scenic bike ride, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Can’t recommend it enough – already thinking about booking the next one!

The Workout Away Algarve retreat was exceptional. The resort, the itinerary, the attention to detail, the customer experience were all 1000/10. I couldn’t have asked for more! I loved the balance between workouts and rest & relaxation, and the two excursions - the bike tour with Ricardo and the paddle boarding with David and his gorgeous family from Nowhere2FarSup - were such a lovely addition and both guides were phenomenal and such interesting people. A true testament to Workout Away for building relationships with the best of the best in the Algarve.

Pre-departure, Emily was incredible, ensuring I had all the support I needed from payment to medical requirements.

The coaches were THE BEST. Luke and Natalie were not only first class coaches but insane hosts and created the best experience for us, becoming a core part of the group.

Best of all was the group dynamic - majority solo travellers, from different walks of life but with fitness and wellbeing as common ground. We couldn’t have got on better, and I have come away not only with lifelong friends but having learnt so much from everyone too.

If in doubt - BOOK IT NOW!!!

Absolutely loved my Workout Away trip! Cascade Resort in Portugal was stunning, and the whole experience struck the perfect balance between fitness, fun, and relaxation. The workouts were energising and varied, and trainers Luke and Nat were absolutely fab—super motivating, knowledgeable, and brought such great energy. The group vibe made it even more special. If you're looking for a fitness getaway that leaves you feeling stronger and inspired, this is it. Five stars without a doubt!

I’ve just completed a 5 day retreat in the Algarve with @workoutaway.

It was such an incredible experience. Based in a luxury 4* wellness resort in Largos, we trained a mixture of classes and intensities ranging from HIIT to yoga. The instructors are tremendous. Natalie is world class - knows her training inside out and is an amazing person to-boot. Luke is a force of nature. Both of them have such a good energy and bounce off of each other really well. They make you feel comfortable and confident and cater to all levels from beginners to regular trainers.

The pre-retreat communication is excellent. Emily could write the book on customer service and there are lots of excellent little touches from packing suggestions to a small goodie bag in your room on arrival. They really have thought of everything.

The days consisted of training hard. Eating well. Deep and meaningful chats with like minded people. Exploring the local area which for us was by bike and paddle board with two superb partner companies who were just as good as the workout away staff themselves. Sauna. Spa. Steam room. The schedule also allowed for plenty of down time which was just what was needed for me - I booked in for some treatments at the spa too.

I went here at a bit of a crossroads in my life and I feel like it gave me all of the answers I needed and more. It was outside of my comfort zone for the most part but genuinely the worst part about it is leaving the little community you’ve built.

Highly recommend this to anybody that knows they need it and probably more so to those that think they dont. I found a version of myself I havent known for a long time and met people who I will remember for the rest of my life.

This week beyond exceeded any expectations of a workout retreat, everything from the food to the activities to the workouts has been planned to perfection! Luke and Nat were on it the whole time and provided us the most amazing workouts and experience! We will be back for sure! <3

I attended the first workout away Pilates retreat on the gorgeous Algarve coast in Portugal. The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable and catered for all abilities with respect. The resort and food were stunning and the entire retreat was like a warm hug! I came away feeling refreshed and stronger and have already booked my next trip with them ☀️💪

Fabulous 5 days. Would 100% recommend. The retreat trainers and hosts made sure we had the best experience. Location, hotel, food everything was 10 out of 10
The workouts were so much fun and the retreaters i met were so lovely

I had a brilliant few days on a Workout Away trip in the Algarve. The team couldn't have worked harder to give us a great week, right from the communication as soon as I'd booked, and I also got lucky with a great group of guests. Would highly recommend this retreat. Worth noting that the exercise caters for all abilities - you definitely don't need to be a mega athlete to get a lot out of it.

A great holiday with superb customer care from the whole team! Workouts were varied and interesting which kept things fresh and fun. Fantastic hotel with amazing food and plenty of like minded attendees.

I had an incredible experience at Workout Away! The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and really pushed us to our best, while keeping the workouts fun and engaging. On top of that, I met some amazing like-minded people, and the sense of community made the retreat even more enjoyable. Highly recommend !

A fabulous 4 nights away with workout away. Met lots of like minded people on the trip; we all got on very well and had a lot of fun together. The workouts are fun & can get sweaty! A real good mix, and was never bored. Highly recommend if you want a solo trip or to go with some friends!

Work out away was great value for money.
The instructors were very knowledgeable and had great bespoke classes.
The variety of classes was so good.
The hotel was 5 stars.
This holiday was fantastic
If you like meeting new people who love to exercise, I can’t recommend this enough.

What a great trip! Absolutely loved it :) Great trainers, lovely hotel, fun work outs. Would definitely recommend :)

The energy and enthusiasm of the instructors made all the workouts fun. Everything was well organised despite the weather.

had an amazing holiday with workout away! the resort was beautiful. met a great group of new friends and thoroughly enjoyed the workout schedule!

My third Workout Away did not disappoint. The new destination of Mallorca was a great addition, the resort is beautiful, the food is plentiful and the workouts are executed to a very high standard. EBP and Kerry were brilliant at looking after us! Don't think twice about booking this, just do it! I'm already planning for next year.

I cannot say enough good things about our retreat to Mallorca! Emily and Kerry were the best hosts we could have asked for, the group of retreaters were so lovely, and the whole experience was the perfect mix of activity, relaxation, and non-stop laughs. I've already booked the Rhodes retreat for 2025 😄

I’m so pleased I booked this trip to Mallorca! This was my first (but not my last) with Workout Away and it exceeded every expectation. I came solo and the instructors, Emily and Kerry, were so welcoming.

It was the perfect mix of sweat, chill and good vibes with a great bunch of people.

If you are hesitating, book the trip! 🙌🏼

This was my 5th trip with Workout Away, this time to their new stunning location in Majorca.
It had all of the makings of a great Workout Away trip - welcoming and really FUN trainers that make you feel like nothing is too much trouble (thanks EBP and Kerry for being so fab!), a mix of ace, sweaty workouts, a stunning resort, delicious food and a great bunch of people to hang out with.

Can't wait to join you in Dominican next year! X
