''In March 23 I signed up to go on one of Elaine’s retreats to Fuerteventura. It wasn’t to disappoint!

From being picked up at the airport, being chauffeured around some of the island by Elaine (whose knowledge is as good as a local), a great mix of classes, varying outdoor walks and relaxation time, it was the perfect blend of activities for the duration of the stay.

On top of that I really enjoyed the company with a nice mix of pleasant, interesting, likeminded people.

A well worthwhile experience which I look forward to repeating sometime in the future."

''Just back from a wonderful Fitness Retreat in Fuertaventura with Elaine. It was just what I needed, I love Pilates and being able to exercise outside was a real treat. Soaking up the sunshine whilst a breeze kept me at a nice temperature. Aqua Fit was good fun too! Elaine is a great instructor and catered for all levels of fitness from beginners to those that were more advanced.

I enjoyed the format of the retreat, leisurely breakfast, exercise followed by free time then out for an excursion after lunch - both lunch and dinner were excellent, great selection of good home cooked healthy food - the cook was fabulous!

A super experience, that I would highly recommend!"

''Thank you, Elaine, for organising and hosting a wonderful retreat in Fuerteventura. It was the perfect mix of fitness and relaxation/downtime with superb food, drink and company. Aquafit was great fun too! You and Cat were so accommodating to all of our needs/requests and communication was excellent. Accommodation was also very comfortable. It was great to see your passion for the island and I’m grateful that you could share some of the highlights with us. It was a truly relaxing few days and I’ve returned home feeling the balance has been reset and I’m ready to face the winter and Christmas madness ahead. Thanks again for all your hard work organising and chauffeuring us around. I would happily recommend this retreat and hope to join you again in the future."

''The house was perfect to allow me to rest and relax. The daily movement activities of pilates, aqua aerobics and meditation in the morning sunshine was the perfect way to start the day and there was always a fun afternoon activity with Elaine keen to show us the best of the island. The food was delicious and the company was great. After the 4 days I felt recharged and ready to come home, but I knew I'd need it again in a few months so I've booked in for the next retreat!"

''Thank you so much for a very enjoyable week. I benefited so much from the exercise, ‘time out’ and friendly chat. It was a perfect mix of organised activities and laid back informality in a wonderful location. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the island. "
