Workout Away was founded in 2018 by Chris, who wanted a fitness holiday that felt fresh, fun, and affordable, not the kind of restrictive “cleanse” or bootcamp-style retreat that left you hungry, drained, and a few thousand pounds lighter.

 

The idea was simple: fun workouts, incredible destinations, and an atmosphere that feels like a holiday with friends.

 

Fast forward to today, and we’ve welcomed retreaters from all over the world while keeping that same mission at our core.

We don’t just fly in random trainers or influencers looking for a free holiday, that’s not our vibe.

 

Every Workout Away trainer is part of our in-house team, recruited through a careful process that looks at skills, experience, and personality to make sure they’re the right fit.

 

All of our trainers are certified to deliver our signature workouts to the highest standard, and outside of Workout Away they also work with some of the biggest names in fitness, from premium gyms to global sports brands.

 

This mix of professionalism, passion, and real-world expertise is what makes our team one of a kind.

We know the world of fitness can sometimes feel a little intimidating, but that’s not us. Our retreats are welcoming, inclusive, and designed for every body.

 

Whether you’re smashing out your hundredth burpee or trying your very first, you’ll be surrounded by encouragement, not ego.

 

We keep the energy high and the atmosphere relaxed, so you feel comfortable and confident from the moment you arrive.

Most of our guests come solo, and they love it. From the moment you arrive, everything is designed to help you feel at home. Our team and guests are welcoming, and with team-focused workouts, shared meals, and group adventures, making connections happens naturally. You’ll never feel like the odd one out.

​

We also offer sharer rooms, which make retreats more accessible and give you the chance to meet like-minded people right away.

 

Many of our best friendships have started this way. By the end of your trip, you’ll leave with a whole new crew of friends, people who’ll cheer you on in workouts and stay part of your life long after the retreat ends.

We handpick every destination with care, personally visiting and inspecting each resort before it makes the cut.

 

It’s not just about five-star comfort (though you’ll get that too), we look at every detail, from the quality of the food to the layout of the workout spaces, making sure they’re perfect for our signature sessions.

 

We scope out the pools, gyms, and coastal trails to ensure they inspire movement and recovery in equal measure. Every resort is chosen to give you the ultimate blend of training, relaxation, and adventure.

Since 2019, our retreaters have rated us five stars on Trustpilot, and we’re proud to say that rating has stuck year after year.

 

Guests consistently call out our amazing trainer team, the balance of workouts and downtime, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel included.

​

Unlike some retreats that can feel strict, impersonal, or overpriced, our reviews highlight that we deliver incredible value, a premium experience, and genuine community vibes.

 

People often tell us their retreat was life-changing, whether that’s building confidence in fitness, finding a new circle of friends, or just realising how good it feels to mix training with travel.

​

That five-star badge isn’t just for show, it’s proof that hundreds of guests have trusted us with their holidays and loved every second.
