Retreat Information
Workout Away on the South Coast is making a comeback for the sixth summer in a row, and you won't want to miss it. Join us for two action-packed nights nestled in one of the most beautiful corners of the South Coast!
From restorative yoga sessions to heart-pounding HIIT sessions and strength training, this retreat is an expertly curated blend of adventure and relaxation.
The Cliff House, our idyllic seven-bedroom venue, offers breathtaking views of the Solent and, on clear days, the Isle of Wight. With a relaxed vibe and a serious commitment to great food and hospitality, The Cliff House is the perfect home for this active escape.
A quick twenty-minute drive from Bournemouth or a two-hour train from London will see you arrive on our doorstep. If you're flying in to join us, Bournemouth is our closest airport, but you're more likely to find a wider range of options from London Gatwick.
Get ready to pack your bags, meet new friends, and dive into the original Workout Away British fitness retreat.
This escape is perfect for solo travellers. Over half of our guests join us solo!
Four-star luxury fitness escape on the stunning South Coast of England.
