Holidays that won’t pile on the pounds

Going on holiday needn’t mean breaking those New Year resolutions.

Holidays can take a toll on your health – all that extra food and lazing around – but things don’t have to be that way. Villa rental company The Thinking Traveller and leading wellness brand Bodyism have teamed up to make sure that not a single day of your holiday need go by without your having checked in with a personal trainer, says Nicole Mowbray in The Daily Telegraph. Bodyism is the “wellness expert to the stars”, training everyone from David Beckham to Pippa Middleton, and The Thinking Traveller offers “exceptional, exclusive villas around the Mediterranean”. The collaboration enables clients to book a Bodyism personal trainer to take with them to any of the luxury villas for the duration of their holiday.

The experience is entirely bespoke: guests pick a villa and a trainer who suits their needs. “Days begin with either dawn yoga, circuit training or one of the Bodyism signature classes… In the afternoon, we had stretching sessions or a massage,” says Mowbray. The Thinking Traveller’s properties come with their own local concierge who can help you explore the local area and organise your days out. And although the trainers are on hand every day to offer nutritional advice, “they won’t be policing what you do or don’t eat or drink each day”. So, fill your boots, then burn it off? Sounds like a plan.
