This Is Officially The Hottest Trend In Travel Right Now

Let’s be real, your workout motivation is never higher than the weeks leading up to a vacay: you’ve got a clear goal (mainly to look good on Insta) and you’re thundering towards it.

Then, you skip a workout or two and the indulgences set in. The next thing you know, all that hard work is undone. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing, going on holiday doesn’t have to mean piling on unwanted kgs. There’s one very simple solution:

Travel with your trainer!

Fitness retreats are bursting on to the scene with everyone jumping on board – from boutique personal trainers to KX Pilates and the giants at F45. Whether you want to head to Bali, Thailand or even the USA, workout once a day or three, there’s a fitness trip for you.

Letting my inner gymnast come out in Venice 😝 I'm not sure if many of you know but I was a gymnast when I was a kid! 🤸🏼‍♂️ Dad put me in gym when I was 3 (pretty much because I was cray and he wanted me to expel some energy and come home exhausted...which didn't really work. I ended up climbing and jumping on furniture practising my gym skills all the time 😜). I did gym until I was 18 (and was obsessed with it up until that point). Then. I found pole vault and ended up doing all my gym skills a couple of extra meters higher in the air! 🚀☺️ #aeriallife @hm #hmsport ab♥️x . #hmambassador

There are a ton of benefits to maintaining your training schedule throughout your holiday, particularly if it’s a short and sharp session. You can let the guilt wash away any slip-ups (looking at you, ice cream for dinner), plus you’ll feel way more energized and clear-minded for activities.

If you’re suffering from jetlag, a sweat session can also help you get over it quicker (better sleep = better adjustment to the time zone change). You’ll also be in a better mood - a godsend when you’re travelling with others and need to maintain a certain level of calm.
