Workout Away Retreats  Reviews 

It was my second trip with Emily and Kerry, and it’s been a pleasure! I could not recommend enough, everything was prefect.

this was a wonderful way to spend a weekend we were made to feel really welcome and at ease by Chris and Emily on arrival and throughout the whole weekend they are perfect hosts the activities were well organised varied and fun for all abilities lovely food clean comfortable accommodation perfect and also the other guests were all so interesting and easy to get on with and although the weather is out of everyones control it turned out to be perfect for us.

I was excited and nervous like a school boy when heading to the coast. I did not know what to expect, what kind of people I was going to spend the weekend with, and if the workouts were going to be too hard for me. Chris and Emily were more than welcoming when I first met them. The whole experience was simply perfect. The Workout away team made everybody felt at home, the workouts perfect, the experiences really nice and the food was something that really surprised me. The people that I met during the weekend are really nice, everything was easy and flowed perfectly. 10 out of 10. Simply Perfect. Thanks Chris and Emily.

The team are amazing - they make you feel so at home, well cared for whilst having so much fun. Mykonos is the perfect setting for some great workouts, exploring and relaxing. Thank you for such an amazing trip! Until next time.. ❤️

A fantastic few days in Lagos, Portugal with the Workout Away team!
Attention to detail and level of care from booking the retreat, to arriving at the hotel and all throughout our stay was second to none. Faultless.
A good balance between working out, exploring the town, and relaxing. Met some lovely people too! Would highly recommend and can't wait to come again :)

Thank you

Thank you so much to the team for this amazing trip to in Lagos. Chris and Laura made this trip a truly unforgettable experience, I loved all the diverse workouts and activities! Looking forward to booking again 🤩
100% would recommend

I had a great time! It was my first solo trip and it was so much better than I expected. The activities were so much fun, with the stand-up paddle boarding at sunrise being my favourite! The workout's were challenging but fun and the music really hyped the mood up. Shout-out to Laura for being an amazing trainer and a great laugh!

A great week away, amazing food, scenic tours and activities! Catered to all fitness levels, not just for the hard core

I loved every part of my retreat. It was so well organised, I was taken care of every minute and the entire experience neither felt too intense or too lose.
Loved it!

From start to finish the whole experience with Workout away was fantastic. The trainers where adaptable and motivational which allowed me to increase me fitness as we went along. The cycle ride and paddle boarding where a great addition to the whole experience. Being in Portugal in February was a fantastic start to the year and for me a reset for my fitness. Thank you

A truly fantastic break to kick start the fitness regime, glorious location and weather with excellent hosts - nothing more I could ask for!

What a lovely treat to myself, on my first solo trip. The workouts were challenging enough.
The coaches, Emily and Laura were exceptional! Especially Laura who hung out with us like an old friend! We all had a fab time as a group together. The activities were great, paddle boarding was my first and hmm dare I say I enjoyed the "dip" in the Atlantic Ocean a few times!
The resort was elegant, staff were very attentive. Food was good and definitely didn't go hungry!
I would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in fitness as this gives you a holiday that is equally energising and relaxing, its a good mix and suits all abilities for sure. Loved the location!

I’ve just come back from 3 nights in the Algarve with Emily & Laura from Workout Away. It’s the first time I’ve ever booked a fitness holiday and a solo holiday at that, from the moment I arrived Emily & Laura were so welcoming and accommodating. Cascade is beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff friendly. The workouts were varied and the trainers were very motivating to keep pushing but also to have fun. The paddle boarding has to be my highlight at sunset! Biggest shoutout to Laura, you made sure everything ran smoothly and above all just made sure we all had the best time possible with lots of laughter! Can’t wait for my next trip with Workout Away!

We thoroughly enjoyed our retreat with Workout away. Chris and Emily provided a fabulous fitness experience and excellent customer service throughout including really thoughtful attention to detail such as welcome packs in the room (hand cream, sleep spray, lip balm and toothbrush) and goodie bags that included lots of tasty health treats (kombucha and snack bars). They were very flexible with the timetable to allow for the sudden changes in weather, even swapping in a last minute dance class to the program which ended up being a highlight for most of us! The sweatiest fun ever! The Cascade Wellness Resort was the perfect venue with the most deliciously fresh and healthy offerings for both breakfast and buffet dinner, and beautifully located on the cliff tops of the Algarve. The facilities were perfect for a wellness escape and very family friendly too. We left feeling fresh and revived!

Workout Away was really the trip to remember! So much thought, time and love has gone into planning this memorable trip for all of the group! I cannot thank Chis & Emily enough for bringing the girls together to not only experience the best way to work out, but also to enjoy the last bit of Europes sun, the fabulous local food and many laughs! It's a great trip to do either solo or with a group of people but you'll be sure to have a truly wonderful time!

Thank you so much to Chris, Emily and Luke for a lovely few days in Portugal. I had the the most wonderful time with a great group of like minded people. The hotel was stunning, food was amazing with lots of choice and all the workouts/activities were so much fun. I can’t fault anything :) The perfect reset, I would recommend Workout Away to anyone!

Loved my trip to Portugal! The staff are amazing. Such a good vibe. Great workouts and plenty of downtime to chill or socialise. 100% recommend Workout Away!

We had such a great trip! Loved all the workouts, the resort, the food and the company. Huge thanks to Emily and Chris. Very professional yet fun!

The retreat in Lagos was oustanding. I shared a room with another lovely participant - what was a fantastic experience. The hotel on top of the cliffs is a dream with a stunning view, pools, tasty buffets and near the beach (within walking distance).

Emily and Emily are not only wonderful people, but also very professional and excellent hosts. They pushed and motivated me and made sure that the exercises were done correctly. I couldn't have imagined a better setting - everything was just perfect.

We also had a fantastic group - all lovely people.

Thank you so much Em & Em for all the wonderful memories I took home and I will definitley book a retreat with workout away again.

A wonderful fitness trip. Great October sun escape to Portugal with a group of like-minded people. Good mix of workouts, free time and activities (bike ride and standup paddleboarding.)

Not restrictive on food and drink for anyone concerned (some fitness trips are militant!) so if you’re more relaxed about your diet the options are there!

Gorgeous hotel and very well-organised by the team who couldn’t have done more to make sure we had everything we needed including tailoring the classes to our needs. Will be coming back!
