FitAgain
DORSET
What could be more in keeping with your New Year’s resolutions than a retreat that boosts your exercise regime, endorphins and mental health? Located in picturesque West Dorset, FitAgain is run by a wife and husband duo with a combined service of 38 years in the Royal Navy, who now focus on nutrition, adventure-filled exercise and motivational speaking to keep their guests’ minds and bodies alert.
Says co-founder Lucy Watkinson, “The retreat gives people a toolbox of emotional skills as well learning the correct form and techniques surrounding fitness, such as: HITT sessions, hiking, wild swims, yoga, reflexology and much more. We truly care about the people who come to us so we give them as much help as we can post-retreat. We want to continue their goals when they’re back in their normal hectic day to day lives, using ongoing three-month support through our FitAgain app.” fitagain.co.uk/retreat
