“Ive been on two retreats, on the first weight loss retreat I lost 10lbs and still put on lots of muscle. I loved it so much, I went back 3 weeks later during which time I had managed to lose another 9lbs. The second time around Julie pushed me even more and I lost another 10lbs.

What I find really helpful with Julie is that she knows what individual people need – some people need to be pushed hard, others need gentle encouragement, some prefer to be left alone, but Julie is sensitive to individual needs and supports people where they need it. Through the whole experience we had lots of laughter and fun. I would highly recommend people to attend and I plan to go back as soon as I can!”

“I was apprehensive before I arrived, but after being there for all of 10 minutes, I was relaxed and put at ease by you and your team! I found the days exciting yet challenging and felt like I pushed myself further than I would if I had just gone to the gym on my own! So a thank you. Hope to do another of your courses soon”

“I would just like to say how much I appreciate your bootcamps because, as an older person (over 60) I am always nervous about starting any exercise. At The Body Retreat we all worked at our own pace and up to our own capabilities. Even when I was the slowest, I never felt neglected, left behind or under pressure. Although I will not now become a champion athlete now, I feel that you appreciate the importance for older people to exercise in order to lose weight, stay healthy and keep flexible. Thank you”

“The weekend came at a really good time for me – just when I needed to have a complete break and escape ten months of never ending work. Since returning to ‘normal life’ I feel that I have really benefited. Went back to work on Monday feeling how I used to be a year ago – full of energy, more positive and back in control. Have also booked my next weekend with The Body Retreat – amazing what can be achieved in one weekend”

“Julie’s strap line ‘Never say Never’ couldn’t be closer to the truth! If you think you aren’t fit enough, think again…. you work at your own level and push for results you do not think are possible in as little as a week. The support and encouragement offered by Julie and her team make the whole experience enjoyable and fun! You can do anything you set your mind to !”
