Weight Loss and Fitness Retreat in Victoria and NSW, Australia

OnTrack is not a spa break. The programme is structured around fitness sessions, nutrition education and mindset seminars, with the aim of sending you home with habits you can keep. Exercise is adjusted to your level, so complete beginners and people with pre-existing conditions train alongside regular exercisers. Trainers push you to the limit of what you can do, but not beyond it. Seminars cover why you reach for food, how to stop emotional and binge eating, and how to stay motivated. You also get unlimited post-programme support, so you can contact the team after you leave.

The food is a big part of the week. Meals are balanced and portioned to help you train your appetite down and reduce cravings, but they are not bird food. Past guests mention salmon, steak and a healthy pizza. You learn to cook the same dishes at home, which is the point: the retreat is a reset, not a diet you abandon on the drive home.

Retreats run at two properties. The Victoria retreat is close to Melbourne, set in gardens, and is described as peaceful and free of distractions. The NSW retreat is on the Central Coast, with easy access from Sydney and a coastal backdrop. Both are run by the same team and follow the same programme.

Stays start every Monday and range from one week to twelve weeks. Most people book one to three weeks. The team says 100% of guests who follow the programme lose weight and increase fitness, and they back that with a money-back guarantee. You will be in a small group, which past guests say makes a difference: the group supports each other and the trainers know everyone's limits.
