The Mudless Bootcamp Retreat grew out of a bootcamp business that has been running for over 12 years; 2023 was the first year it ran as a weekend away in the Cotswolds. The format is a mix of fitness classes, workshops and free time. Classes include bootcamp, boxing, HIIT, running and stretching, and every one of them is optional. Alongside the training there are workshops on mindset and nutrition, walks in the countryside, and space to relax.

You stay at Cotswolds Park Barns, a luxury converted farmhouse just outside Cirencester, with a range of twin and double rooms, all en suite. The site has been finished to a high standard, and all your food is prepared on site, with snacks, tea and coffee included throughout. The only meal not covered is your dinner at the local pub.

The yoga retreat is a weekend at Charney Manor near Abingdon in Oxfordshire. The teaching covers varied styles, from the energetic end through to restorative yoga, so the weekend moves between effort and rest. Food is home-cooked and vegetarian, and there are countryside walks plus plenty of unscheduled time. Rooms are basic but comfortable and all en suite, with linen and towels provided and break-out spaces around the site for quiet time.

On the yoga weekend, accommodation, towels and linen, Friday evening meal, all Saturday meals and Sunday breakfast are included, along with tea and coffee and all workshops and classes. Sunday dinner at the pub and extras such as massage treatments are not. A 50% non-refundable deposit is payable on booking, with the final balance due five weeks before the retreat.

Both weekends are small and the yoga retreat in particular is limited in numbers and sells out quickly. New dates and prices for the bootcamp retreat are still to be announced, and the next yoga retreat date is also listed as coming soon.
