Essex · 22 days · From USD 6097
The three-week stay at The Glasshouse is one of their longer programs, and it's designed to give you the space to really change habits rather than just dip in for a weekend. You'll have 21 nights in a bright, modern room with an en-suite, and daily access to all the facilities—a fully loaded gym, an exercise studio, a holistic studio, a heated leisure pool, a Himalayan salt block sauna, a steam room, an outdoor Finnish sauna, and a natural swimming pond.
The food is a big part of it. You choose from three dietary plans at the start—Juicing, Lighter choices, or Equilibrium—and you can switch things up at any point if the one you picked isn't working for you. The meals are made from fresh, seasonal, and mostly organic ingredients, with lots of fruit, vegetables, nuts, and grains. All meals are included, along with welcome drinks, organic herbal teas, and even a cooking class where you can learn to recreate some of the dishes at home.
What makes this retreat different is the variety and flexibility. The daily class schedule is huge: cardio classes like HIIT, box fit, pad work, and circuits; strength classes with weights and core work; flexibility classes covering different yoga styles, aerial yoga, and Pilates; plus barre, dance, and aqua classes. There are also mindfulness sessions, workshops, sound baths, meditation, a listening room with life coaching, and regular motivational talks. You're never bored, but you're also never pressured to do everything.
Russell and his team have a hands-off, supportive approach. They're not there to bark orders—that comes through in everything from the welcome to how flexible they are with schedules and diets. The building itself is part of the experience: it's an eco-friendly build with solar panels and a ground source heat pump, and the glass walls make you feel connected to the surrounding gardens and fields. It's a place that feels calm and modern, not fussy or pretentious, and that suits the detox focus well.
