Foot spa sessionAs of November, we’ve now added two relaxing foot spa sessions to ease those aching muscles after your fitness sessions, so you can sit back and soak your feet in soothing organic bath salts and fresh rose petals, doze away under your lavender eye masks and organic candles, against the backdrop of the Herefordshire silence…bliss!

Finally, we’ve added daily wheatgrass shots to our menus, just one little shot provides more than 1kg of green leafy veg…wow.

September course, Dawn Porter, food & more!

We’ve just come back from our 7 day September course, read our client testimonials here. Highlights included the boxing, kettlebells, circuits, trail running and the walks; the yoga session at the end of the day had great feedback as did the pampering treatments (obviously!). Everyone left the course looking and feeling amazing and it’s great to hear that they’re still keeping it up.Group hike

We were also joined by the lovely Dawn Porter, TV personality, journalist and author and her friend Carrie. Read her funny blog post about what she thought of her stay with us.

We had some great seasonal recipes for our menus, our new local produce supplier in Hereford is one of Rick Stein’s Food Heroes so the ingredients are really fresh. And the home made granola for breakfast went down a storm!

We only have a few spaces left for our 4 day course in November, contact us for your free consultation with any of our experts before you book. Until next time, Drew and the team x
