First started at one of Gav’s Sunday morning group boxercise classes on the beach - great exercises, nice workout and fun people in the group. Gav is a great trainer, understands your abilities and tailors the sessions to your own needs. I have now started 121 personal training with him too and am really impressed with the work that he does. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to lose weight, meet some new people or simply enjoy working out on the beach!

Gavin is a excellent motivator and tailors the sessions to suit your fitness goals. I've been working with Bournemouth Wellbeing for over 2 yrs now and can see and feel the improvements to my fitness and overall wellbeing. Highly recommended.

I stumbled across Bournemouth wellbeing experience after deciding to mix up my workouts and try something different, I am so glad I did! The Saturday morning beach hiit session is now part of my weekly routine and look forward to it every week (despite not enjoying it at the time ha).. Each week is different and I can honestly say my fitness has improved massively since I started going. 10/10

I was due to host the Pride Road Franchise Development Day and had to think of how to entertain 5 architects from all over the country. I approached Fiona after remembering how wonderful the Wellbeing morning that she held on the beach was. Being on the coast is unique to my franchise territory so Fiona devised a 2 hour package at her beach hut including boxercise, yoga and meditation with coffee and cake after. Fiona provided a nice leaflet that I could send to the team with lots of information about where to meet and what to bring. Imagine my horror when I awoke to rain on the morning of the event. Luckily Fiona was on the ball and had arranged a plan B venue in a room that still had a view of the sea. We met and the weather improved. Gavin made the boxercise very fun and accessible as it was well out of our comfort zone. The yoga and meditation on the beach was simply sublime. You wear headphones, can hear the lovely soothing voice of the instructor Anna and the distant waves. We even felt the sun on our face. There were big hugs between the group afterwards as we felt quite moved from the experience. Fiona went above and beyond providing gluten free cake, taking lots of photos and videos and giving me all the information I needed to organise a really successful event. Thank you Bournemouth Wellbeing Experience!

Unbelievable Results!!! The Oceana resort was very accommodating, the staff were helpful and friendly. I felt right at home. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging and just great to be around. Although I already knew Gavin I felt like I got to know the rest of the team well and made some new friends. The others guests were friendly and we all got along really well. Again, new friends made. I found the sessions / seminars just right for timings and I love that the instructors all joined in too. So many different sessions, timed perfectly. After this retreat I was absolutely buzzing for days. It lifted me up to an incredible height and left me just wanting to do it all over again. I can't wait for the next one........

I arrived at the retreat not knowing anyone, but left with a group of friends. I was nervous coming on my own, but the venue was easy to find and the views of the beach spectacular. The retreat host really looked after us and instantly put me at ease. We were regularly offered flavoured waters and the food at the retreat was excellent. Fresh, nutritious and of the highest quality. The venue was modern and very well presented, with luxurious surroundings. Ocean Beach Hotel is linked with two other hotels, offering a variety of leisure and spa options, including heated outdoor pools, indoor leisure facilities, restaurants, bars and even a pub. The sessions were educational, inspirational and designed for real-world application. The recommendations were practical and realistic, some of which I have already incorporated into my life. I loved the fitness sessions and felt challenged, but only to my own limits. The yoga and meditation sessions were restorative and a great reminder of the power of nurture. Time between the activities meant that I really bonded with my fellow guests and left feeling more confident and fulfilled. I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat and left feeling much mentally lighter.

The food was gorgeous with plenty of choice. The Oceana resort was small but this worked well with the group size. It is right on the cliff top with lovely views of boscombe pier. The instructors were supportive, fun and had a wealth of knowledge. The talks were informative and made me think outside of physical fitness. The others guests were friendly and it was a great atmosphere. We had so much fun and were laughing throughout the whole day but particularly the superhero fancy dress workout. I found the sessions / seminars informative and relaxing. I loved the surprise guest from MasterChef and the chance to make my own sushi which is one thing I have never done before. I also liked the meditation session as my mind was clear and I felt relaxed after. I took away relaxing and taking time out is just as important as the physical fitness from this retreat. I felt invigorated after this retreat. I have never participated in a fitness retreat and was a life apprehensive and thought I would be left behind by others. However, on arrival everyone was friendly the GT staff were friendly, kind and informative. There was no pressure to participate if you didn't want to. Thank you for an enjoyable fitness retreat.

The Oceana resort was very welcoming, the staff were very kind and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing. Being Vegan they catered so well and provided exciting and delicious food. Was great they put the extra effort in to provide for all dietary requirements. I was greeted on arrival, guided where I needed to be and immediately made to feel welcome. The facilities were great. Very well kept together and the rooms were very warm and comfortable. I’d stay there again and will be recommending to friends and family. The instructors were very informative, really knew their stuff and the delivery was very clear and easy to understand. They were very engaging, friendly and professional. The overall balance was great. The others guests were all very friendly. They were a great bunch of people and it good to meet new people which similar interests. We shared our stories and it was very interesting to hear why we were on the retreat and what we all wanted to achieve. As the day was so uplifting and enjoyed by all the atmosphere was great. I was sad for the weekend to end but we will all keep in touch. We had so much fun and were laughing throughout. I found the sessions/seminars very well-spaced out with the right amount of information. I stayed fully engaged and interested in what was seeing talked about. The interaction was just right. I took away great techniques for meditation and ways to relax more. It helped me with breathing techniques and ways to clear your mind which I very much need. I gained a better understanding of food and the advantages of living a healthy lifestyle. I felt so relaxed and revitalised after this retreat. I definitely left with a sting in my step looking forward to loving a healthier lifestyle. What an accomplishment. This was an absolutely amazing retreat.

My time at the retreat was just one of sheer joy and was such value for money. Certainly an experience that involved all the senses. An amazing location with stunning sea views, the Oceana Resort Hotel offered a clean, comfortable and inviting stay with good facilities which we all made the most of throughout our stay. They say you eat with your eyes and we certainly weren’t disappointed with the food which was plentiful, nutritious and delicious (you won’t go hungry that is for sure). There was also always jugs of fresh water on hand infused with lemons, limes, cucumber and the like to keep us well hydrated which was a nice touch. Upon arrival Fiona met me with a beaming smile and made me feel so welcome from the get go. She was always on hand to answer questions and she always had the same warm smile. As someone who arrived on her own, I felt as though I had gone with old friends, as the group was so friendly and the activities encouraged us to mix with everyone. The instructors and facilitators of the sessions were very knowledgeable. The content of the talks from Sabrina, Paula and Brian were on trend and relevant for all and we were all encouraged to participate. Full of thought provoking ideas that we could chat about and take home with us. Using the 3 levels of ‘why’ to help me understand my motives for doing things has been invaluable already. We were also treated to a surprise session with a MasterChef contestant where we learnt how to make sushi. Chef Cheryl was a great teacher and my order for a sushi mat has already been placed. Gavin worked us hard and helped us get the best out of our exercise classes, but he also made it so much fun. The super hero costume idea was inspired and I felt as though I just laughed and grinned throughout. Anna equally challenged us with Yoga, but talked us through the poses so if you were new to Yoga, you felt guided at all times. Her meditation sessions were relaxing and a welcome contrast to some of the more physical activities. I was sad when it was time to go home, but I left feeling more confident, certainly armed with lots of tools to help me live a better life of wellness both physically and mentally. I came away with not only new friends but a smile that has stayed with me whenever I think or talk about the retreat. A huge thank you to all for creating such an amazing experience.

Absolutely brilliant way to spend a morning. I was visiting Bournemouth for a couple of days and when I saw the opportunity for a body workout followed by yoga and meditation on the beach, I just had to sign up. Very well run.

If you only do one thing for yourself this year, do this! Having never attended a “retreat” before I had preconceptions about what it would be like. Little (if any) food, pretentious guests and a lot of hanging around and “reflecting” but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The food was outstanding, a massive highlight for a foodie like me, and it seems, everyone else there. The way the food provided reinforced the messages and information given in the days seminars and sessions was ingenious, showing it is possible to eat incredibly healthily but also incredibly well. An amazing selection and more than satisfying both the vegetarians and the meat eaters. Living locally I already knew of the Oceana Resort and it’s excellent reputation. Having been there on a few occasions previously for lunches & meetings I thought I knew what the hotel itself had to offer. I expected great things but didn’t expect everything to exceed my expectations. The customer service and attention from every department was exemplary. The only negative comment in my whole review would have to be the toilets, beautifully clean (and I’m a bathroom connoisseur) but cold! The programme of sessions and seminars was extremely well organised and the team running them were all beyond fantastic. Every single instructor was clearly an expert in their chosen field. The seminars were concise and incredibly informative and I can honestly say I was sorry they didn’t go on for longer. The sessions were also fantastic and catered to all levels of ability and fitness and again I was sorry when each one came to an end. I would definitely book a longer retreat next time to really get the most out of it. I attended the retreat with my sister and a few friends so wasn’t looking to make any new friends but it seems I didn’t have any choice in the matter!! From the minute I arrived to the minute I left I didn’t meet anyone I didn’t like! The other ”Retreaters” were quite possibly the best bunch of people I’ve spend time with in ages. In fact I’m considering organising an “Original Retreaters Reunion” so we all get to meet up again and repeat the whole wonderful experience. We laughed, we learnt, and we loved every single minute of it.

Came down from London for the weekend to visit family and thought we would give the classes a go. We did the 3 Saturday morning classes. It really was amazing and would highly recommend the 7:15 start!!
