STRONGER, LEANER, FITTER retreat- with Milly Hill- availability

Sust! Health are flexing our muscles in anticipation to welcome back fitness bunny Milly Hill! Get ready to catapult your fitness to a new level (and enjoy the process!) with this invigorating, rousing, and entertaining 3-night ‘Stronger, Leaner, Fitter Retreat’ in North Devon.

This revitalising, fitness-inspired weekend break includes a mix of hiking and energising fitness classes such as resistance bands, Kettlebells, mini-rebounding, pilates, dance, yoga flow and restorative yoga. This is a fitness boost like no other!

Cold water immersion in secret swim spots along the North Devon Coast will take your breath away (in the best possible way) and provides a brilliant opportunity for beginners and seasoned cold dippers alike, to reap the many benefits of this practice in a supportive and safe environment.

Fuelling these activities will be delicious and nutritious meals providing your body with ALL essential nutrients and amino acids to encourage optimal muscle recovery and energy. You certainly will not go hungry on this retreat and you will be amazed at how quickly you see results.

October is a wonderful time to visit North Devon and enjoy the specular Autumn colours within Exmoor National Park at this time of year. We have some AMAZING guided hikes in store for you that take in the best of the South West Coast Path and National Trust hiking trails. Hikes will typically be 3-4 hours long and between 4-9 miles depending on the option you choose.

This retreat will take place at Woodlands Guesthouse from Friday 6th October to Monday 9th October. Woodlands is an imposing Victorian guesthouse overlooking the West Lyn Valley situated a short stroll away from the village of Lynton. There is a Hot Tub and Infrared Sauna onsite and each room has an ensuite bathroom and provides a perfect, peaceful haven to retreat and relax.
