GBAmazing CG Fitness Retreat The CG Fitness was my first fitness retreat abroad. As a mature reasonably fit person l was amazed at the amount of energy l got from all the exercises. Well planned out schedule Connor the PT trainer was there at hand to answer all queries regarding health and gave one to one personal training sessions. The group exercises were totally fun as you were inspired by others. On the flip side yoga was also added to the schedule so you could have a really good stretching session after invigorating gym session. We did core, abs, boxing, running, cycling, kayaking the list go on and on. The food was amazing all hand cooked from fresh natural ingredients by the amazing Flo The Chef. On the evening your time is your own to see the sights of Portugal as there are many things to do there. I would definitely recommend this trip with CG Fitness Retreat. Great bunch of people and l have walked away with life long gym friends. Connor the PT is an amazing thoughtful person who takes time out with you to explain what every exercise does to your body. Go try it and see you won't regret it.

GBThe best fitness retreat ever! The retreat was amazing! The whole process was planned perfectly! The location/villa was beautiful and spacious. Amazing meals were provided which were carefully planned out to ensure we ate healthy, got all the proteins and nutrients we needed for training and also very filling! The classes were good fun with the whole group and suited for everyone as you work to your own ability with the coach there to help you push harder to reach your goals. PT sessions were amazing & the yoga sessions helped you to stretch after all the exercise! You still also had downtime to do what you wanted or activities were organised for fun afternoons out with the team! The retreat really works, I lost 5.5lbs in the first 4 days! The vibes were good and always positive. Honestly had the best time and would really recommend this to anyone. Definitely will be booking again in future!

GBAn amazing week! I had such an amazing time on the fitness retreat in Portugal! As someone who does little exercise and isn’t a regular gym-goer, I was a little apprehensive beforehand and wasn’t sure what to expect! But after doing the retreat I can say that I would 100% do another one and would recommend CG Fitness Retreats to anybody, no matter their fitness level. Connor is a fantastic PT and got to know my fitness levels/capabilities really quickly, and made sure I was comfortable in the workouts I was doing while still being challenged. There was a mix of solo and group sessions, and I am so grateful to have been with such a friendly, supportive and fun group of people. For me there was the perfect balance between fitness and downtime. I feel really good about how active I was during the week, but I also still feel like I had a holiday! Getting up earlier for the group sessions meant I felt like I was making the most out of everyday, and we did so much throughout the week. We stayed in the most stunning villa, which was really spacious and had the most amazing facilities, including a heated pool, gym, cinema room, pool table and table tennis table! It’s up to you how you spend your time, and there is no obligation to attend all the sessions if you’d rather do other things. However I’m really glad I threw myself into everything as I’ve tried so many things I wouldn’t have otherwise done, including boxercise, weight training and cycling. The villa was in a great location, and we went out as a group in the local area. The food was one of the highlights for me - Chef Flo’s cooking is unreal and I found every meal became my new favourite! I want to recreate so many of his dishes now that I’m back home! Overall, I had so much fun on the retreat. I’m proud I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, and to anyone like me who might be feeling unsure whether it’s for them, I can honestly say you won’t regret it!
