Health and Fitness Retreat UK vs Abroad
When booking a Health and Fitness retreat there are lots of things you will want to consider. These considerations include journey time, what’s included and of course the cost. In this article we are going to explore the pros and cons of a UK health and fitness retreat VS traveling abroad to attend one.
Generally speaking, health and fitness retreats are designed with your health and wellbeing at the forefront of all activities. There are all kinds of retreats to choose from such as high impact boot camps for weight loss, relaxing spa style retreats and low impact exercise retreats.
UK Health and Fitness Retreat
Staycations are becoming increasingly popular post lockdown with 28% of UK travellers saying they are more likely to choose a UK break than one abroad. The UK is the perfect place for a health and fitness retreat with its stunning coastline, extensive greenery and rolling hills. The only real downside of the UK is the unpredictability of the weather. However, a well planned retreat should have taken this into account when organising the retreat. Reformer Retreats have designed a luxury retreat in a boutique hotel with a variety of activities to suit all weather conditions. Included in the itinerary are spa treatments, pilates sessions, guided meditation and wellness talks.
There are a multitude of benefits of UK retreats, we’ve created this list of some of the main advantages of opting for a UK health and fitness retreat:
- Stunning scenery
- Save time, money and stress of traveling abroad
- Covid secure
- Ideal temperature for working out
- Can meet and easily stay in touch with new people
Abroad Health and Fitness Retreat
On the other hand, if you wanted to avoid the uncertainty of the weather you could opt for a retreat abroad. When booking a retreat abroad, often the retreat will last longer than a few days, more commonly you can expect it to last 5 days to a week. This is great if you are looking for a proper holiday. When it comes to retreats abroad, you need to consider travel expenses and with everything that happened with covid, the chances are you will now need to be double vaccinated and have proof of a negative test in order to visit another country. The problem with this is that it can take away the fun of it all and make the retreat that little bit less relaxing. Here are some benefits of travelling abroad for a health and fitness retreat:
- Warmer, more reliable weather
- More of a holiday experience than a break
- Meet new people from all over the world
- See somewhere new
