  Next stop: brunch. A delicious spread of fresh, healthy food - and lots of it. Certainly no enforced portion control (although I think that is an option you can request if it's important to you). Always a relaxed affair with great conversation.

  I envisaged doing military workouts on the beach while being shouted at 6am in the morning. I couldn't have been more wrong. The retreat manages to strike the perfect balance between fitness and relaxation. The morning (not at 6am) workouts are varied and enjoyable, in my case James and Leanne were both very good at explaining and helping me do all the exercises correctly seeing as I'd never done most before.

  Each day starts (not at the crack of dawn, thank goodness!) with a deliciously healthy pre-workout snack, then circuit training at a different - but always beautiful - location. Group sizes are small, so you always feel like you're getting personal attention and motivation. It also means that Lianne and James are able to pay close attention to any current or former injuries that you're carrying (as I was). I felt completely safe in their hands, even when they were encouraging me to push myself - always in their fun and enthusiastic non-bootcamp style! They design circuits to cater for every level of fitness and strength, and you work as hard as you can/want, so anyone could participate and feel like they'd had a positive and healthy experience. You certainly don't need to be a regular gym bunny/guy to enjoy this holiday - but you'll certainly still be catered for if you're training for iron man, too!

  James and Lianne matched the activities to my fitness level and interests. Hiking around the volcanoes made a great change to my usual routine.

  Spent a fantastic week at the Fit Retreat in April. It was the perfect balance of rest and fitness, situated in the most serene location.

  The workouts were varied, challenging and sweaty! Lianne and James made sure the activities matched different fitness levels (villa holds 6). Feeding the chipmunks after a steep volcano hike was a personal favourite & shuttle runs on the beach were a great way to work hard and top up the tan!

  The villa is beautiful, clean and very well looked after. It has all the facilities you can think of and is stocked with books to cater any tastes. Any workout equipment is there if you need it and evenings can be great to spend in a hot tub or having a BBQ.

  Lianne and James created a pretty unique set up for anyone who prefers an active holiday to a typical resort all inclusive experience. Every day was packed with activities - starting from a workout in a beautiful outdoor setting (every day a new location) followed by an afternoon hike / walk / activity that gives an opportunity to explore the best parts of the island as well as stay fit.

  The Fit Retreat villa is immaculately clean, spacious and well-equipped. Everything is new and well-maintained. All three bedrooms are a good size and have extremely comfortable beds, soft bedding and towels, and private bathrooms. The common areas (kitchen, living room, swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue area and terrace) are perfectly appointed, offering enough space for socialising as well as quieter corners for those who want it. Lianne and James leave a few essentials in the kitchen for guests to use (cooking oils, herbs and spices, milk, tea, etc.) and the extremely cheap and well-stocked supermarket is just down the road, so it's easy to self-cater on any evenings that you choose to stay in. There are good restaurant options in the local village (or further afield), too, which are inexpensive (even with the current poor exchange rate!).

  There's some great excursions provided and available throughout the week; the volcano climbs, dune buggies, a boat trip to a nearby island and even a bit of Golf.

  Overall I couldn't recommend the Fit Retreat more. If you are looking for a week away in a stunning sunny location but don't want to come back home with extra weight - this is a great option!

  All in all a fantastic holiday! The Fit Retreat is not a bootcamp or foody fad; it's a holiday that focuses on long-term fitness and a health. It will help to motivate those who are embarking on a healthier lifestyle just as much as those who already enjoy being active - and everyone in between. I can't wait to go back!

  All in all a great week, I've come back feeling refreshed and healthy. James and Leanne are warm, welcoming and great company. I couldn't fault the retreat at all and would throughly recommended!

  The villa is lovely; spacious, well equipped, clean and in a real peaceful setting. The hot tub is especially appreciated at the end of the day after a long hike up a volcano.

  What a holiday! A perfect mix of fitness, fantastic food, wonderful people, breathtaking scenery, great weather (even in November) and lots of relaxation - all in a blissful (and immaculately clean) setting. I arrived with high expectations, and hosts Lianne and James well and truly smashed them out of the park! Their care and attention to every detail was faultless, and shows just how much they believe in what they are doing at The Fit Retreat. I left a wintery UK feeling tired, stressed and generally worn-out, and by the end of the holiday felt fitter and healthier in both body and mind, definitely much more relaxed and - icing on (Lianne's super-tasty-but-extremely-healthy banana) cake - having met some fantastic people.

  Home from the most fantastic week at The Fit Retreat. Lianne and James were the most welcoming couple & have created a gorgeous luxury home away from home. We stayed in the Palm room which was clean, comfortable and had a fantastic shower in the large private bathroom next door.

  Food is wonderful, the brunches offer so much variety I found myself filling my plate 3/4 times.

  As somebody who's a casual gym 'goer' at best, you can imagine my worries when the other half signed me up for a fitness retreat.

  Activities in the afternoon usually involve hiking/running/walking in the breathtaking terrain of Fuerteventura - Lianne and James are as passionate about showing you around the island as they are about everything else at the retreat. We also had a super-speedy speedboat ride out to Isla de Lobos and did some stand up paddle boarding (complete with squats and sit-ups on the board - expect to fall in!!).

  The food is amazing - pre workout snacks are filling and delicious, post workout brunches are healthy and crazy tasty. This is what I would eat every single day if I could, just too good!

  I am also a convert to the avocado smoothie! Thank you for the nutritional advice! I would highly recommend and will definitely go back!

  There is one rest day built into the programme in the middle of the week which gives you a bit of time to re-set and have some free time. Kit is always available at the villa if you want to train on your own, but there are plenty of other options if you want to explore the area - e.g. beautiful beaches, surfing, spa, golf, dune-buggy tours. The typically lovely weather makes it very had to choose, but Lianne and James have lots of recommendations to help you to plan your day.

  We did not go hungry, i will miss the famous Fit Retreat brunch particularly the amazing fresh bread bought daily and delicious homemade hummus. The couple have thought of everything and even accommodated three different types of milk, for me the personal touches really make the retreat special.

  I would recommend hiring a car, the week has lots of fitness & also lots of down time to enjoy the gorgeous villa, sunbathe, sit in the jacuzzi or visit the surrounding island. James and Lianne are quick to offer lots of island recommendations, we loved the sand dune buggy tour and checking out the local beaches. James will also point you in the direction of a great coffee in the local town!
