Healthy Elements

Our holidays aren't all about water sports! You can join in with our Healthy Elements programme which includes lots of great fitness classes, jogging groups, high intensity sessions and yoga-inspired stretch, relax classes using the pool, the beach and even our paddleboarding and biking equipment.

In our flagship centres we run a range of sessions for flexibility and conditioning with cardio and power exercises; to sessions for warming up, stretching and simply relaxing the body and mind. They’re great for staying active throughout the day and very useful to preserve your body as we dispense handy tips for warming up before windsurfing or sailing. Everyone loves our Aqua Zumba sessions (a dance fitness workout in the pool) and our Stretch & Relax classes, which are a lot of fun in a group.
