New Natural Elements Fitness Retreats Launch
A new style of fitness retreat, which focuses on natural movements and the great outdoors, will launch next month with fitness fans invited to revitalise mind and body at a series of holistic, revitalizing getaways in some of Europe’s most outstanding areas of natural beauty.
Natural Elements Fitness takes a unique approach to whole body wellbeing, with six-day retreats that leave guests fitter, healthier and more in tune with their bodies thanks to ample time outdoors, new movement skills and a wide range of activities.
The first of the summer program will take place in Tarifa, on southern Spain’s rugged Cadiz coastline. Known as an international destination for wind sports, the Natural Elements Fitness retreat couples this beautiful location with sheer luxury. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in the great outdoors and participate in easy-to-follow workshops, backed by sustainable nutrition, fitness and motivation training, all while staying in a five-star private villa, with expansive grounds and space to relax.
Founder and coach, Ryan Green, a specialist in Natural Movement said, “Natural Elements is the opposite of a gym environment; there are no mirrors, it’s all outdoors, you speak to and laugh with the people you move with – it’s active play/active fun and it’s for all levels. I wanted to create something that got people outdoors and moving more, but also that took away the apprehension and ego there can sometimes be around gyms.
“The combination of getting away from it all, nutritious foods, varied outdoor movement and a well-rounded programme is designed to have guests going back home at the end of their stay feeling revitalized, fitter and stronger, with the tools to continue good health and increased energy. It’s a real departure from most fitness bootcamps because we take a more holistic approach that is very much centered on being outdoors and moving more in a variety of different ways.
Natural Elements Fitness offers a holistic approach to health and fitness helping our guests to become better all round, while enjoying a luxurious getaway and leaving equipped to continue at home. We believe in the power of the great outdoors and we’ve harnessed this fully in each retreat.”
The six-day retreat program includes a carefully balanced schedule of activities targeting mind and body for weight loss, strength and rebalance:
- CALM YOUR MIND – Daily Meditation
- MOVE FREELY – Barefoot Beach Running/Walking/Natural Movement
- GET BALANCED – Balance & Proprioception + Natural Movement (Movnat)
- RECONNECT WITH YOUR BODY – Daily Yoga
- BE STRONG – Bodyweight and Cross Training
- CONNECT WITH NATURE – All Activities Outdoor – in the gardens, on the beach, or surrounding hills
- GIVE YOURSELF SPACE – a place where you can move your body and be yourself
- NOURISH YOUR BODY – Delicious, Fresh, Locally Sourced, Whole Foods
Green adds, “Nutrition is key to maintaining and promoting good health and that’s why we provide, locally sourced high quality food, prepared by a professional chef. We cater to all diets, with our standard menu being made up of fresh vegetables, fruit and natural whole foods.”
The first Natural Elements Fitness retreat takes place in Tarifa, the most southerly town in Europe and located at the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Accommodation is based in a stunning villa with pool, walking distance from the beach and with breathtaking views over the ocean. On a clear day, the mountains of North Africa are visible.
The luxurious villa sleeps up to 12 people and has a 50 sqm yoga space with stunning sea views, extensive open and covered terraces, a massage room, a salt water outdoor swimming pool, air-conditioning, under floor heating and Wi-Fi.
