Pure Results Wellness, Yoga & Weight Loss Retreats in Ireland

Pure Results was founded by Kathryn Thomas, an Irish TV presenter and fitness coach known for Operation Transformation and her pregnancy fitness programme BumpFit. The retreats are run in Ireland and Portugal, with the Irish trips built around the coast and countryside of the west. A typical Irish week mixes daily hiking along coastal routes, yoga sessions and sea swims, with fitness classes and workshops on nutrition and wellbeing filling the rest of the schedule. The Portugal retreat is more weight-loss focused, using the warmer climate for outdoor training and a calorie-controlled menu.

Groups are mixed — men and women, all ages and fitness levels. Instructors lead classes at different intensities so beginners and regular exercisers can train side by side, and there's no pressure to keep up with anyone else. The on-site team handles the programme, meals and accommodation, so guests only need to show up and take part.

What sets Pure Results apart is the combination of Kathryn Thomas's public profile and a genuine all-inclusive format: airport transfers on some trips, all meals, accommodation, fitness classes and workshops are covered in the price. The Irish setting — hiking trails, beaches and sea dips — is the main event, with yoga and strength work indoors or on deck when weather requires. The Portugal option swaps the Atlantic coast for warmer weather and a stronger weight-loss emphasis, but keeps the same structure of daily activity and group support.

Accommodation varies by retreat, from hotel-style rooms in Ireland to a dedicated retreat venue in Portugal. Rooms are usually shared or private, with en-suite bathrooms, and the food is prepared on-site with calorie-counted menus. Guests often come solo, with a friend, or as a couple; the group dynamic is sociable without being a party scene.

Kathryn herself is involved in the programme design and often appears on retreats, leading some sessions and workshops. The team includes fitness instructors, yoga teachers and nutritionists. The overall approach is straightforward: train daily, eat well, sleep, and go home with habits you can keep.
