Visiting the Maldives has always been on my bucket list of destinations. I am very grateful to say I can now tick that off as I recently returned from paradise where I stayed on 135ft SUPER YACHT, as head fitness trainer for Active Escapes- taking a group of 20 guests through a week of fitness (twice daily sessions), yoga, snorkelling, surfing, diving and the most fun imaginable living on a luxury yacht cruising the water of the MALDIVES!
This was most definitely a dream job come true. Not only for the location and experience but for the people who come on these Active Escapes- like-minded, health conscious, fun loving individuals from all over the world! The week of training was centered around Bodyweight training- zero equipment workouts using the Bodyweight Built training methods. Workouts were done on beaches of different islands and even the top deck of our floating mansion, followed by sunset yoga.
Keeping fit and healthy on a holiday isn’t hard with Active Escapes, every activity is planned out for you, if you want to join, it’s there- if you would rather relax and give that particular session or activity a miss… no problem! Don’t get me wrong, it’s an active vacation, but there is also plenty of fun, drinks were flowing every night and everyone was socializing, after a day or two, it felt like you had known the person next to you for years not just a handful of hours!
That’s what makes Active Escapes the number 1 in fitness retreats! It’s not an army camp where you’re locked into doing things you don’t want, the 5 star services are there for you, all included, but you don’t have to attend if you don’t want- although I’ve never seen this happen as everything planned is not worth missing, but its the social aspect that stands out for most guests, having a few beers (or more than a few) each evening is encouraged rather than frowned upon like some retreats, after all its the people you meet and become friends with that make the week what it is!
If you have ever considered going on a vacation, to some of the most exotic places on the planet, without any stress, this is for you. The next retreat I am taking will be in Noosa, Australia- November 28th, 2018, join me there and see what it’s all about, you won’t be disappointed.
