”It is now six weeks since I returned from the Body Retreat in Dorset and I wanted to take the time to say what a genuinely transformational experience it was. The location is beautiful and the programme was perfect – for anyone looking to improve their understanding of what, when and how to eat and how to exercise. Not only did I lose the weight I wanted to lose, but more importantly I have really changed how I cook and eat – and feel so much better for it. Similarly on the exercise front, it has helped me fit in regular exercise even on very busy work days.”

Tina, 62, Midweek Wellness and Weight Management Retreat

“I have just spent the most invigorating, motivating and fun week at The Body Retreat. A small group of like- minded ladies with lively conversation and making new friends. Lovely, comfortable accommodation and fabulous healthy meals. Days were filled with walks, swims, cardio, strength and stretching exercise. Plus workshops on nutrition, sleep, stress, habits, etc. no health and well-being question left unanswered. I have been on several Body Retreats over the years and I always come away healthier and uplifted having gained a lot of knowledge and appreciation for the importance of self- care- especially as we age.

“Julie’s strap line ‘Never say Never’ couldn’t be closer to the truth! If you think you aren’t fit enough, think again…. you work at your own level and push for results you do not think are possible in as little as a week. The support and encouragement offered by Julie and her team make the whole experience enjoyable and fun! You can do anything you set your mind to !”

Amanda, 54, Weight Loss Retreat

“I cannot recommend the body retreat weight loss programme highly enough. Julie and Juls are inspirational and have a wealth of knowledge to share. Every day is well planned out with a good mix of activity and workshops. Food is delicious. I had great success, have learnt so much and now I am excited to start my journey to better health and fitness.”

Olivia, 65, Weight Loss Retreat

“I would just like to say how much I appreciate your Retreats because, as an older person (over 60) I am always nervous about starting any exercise. At The Body Retreat we all worked at our own pace and up to our own capabilities. Even when I was the slowest, I never felt neglected or under pressure. Although I will not now become a champion athlete now, I feel that you appreciate the importance for older people to exercise in order to lose weight, stay healthy and keep flexible.

Clare, 36, Weekend Retreat

“I was apprehensive before I arrived, but after being there for all of 10 minutes, I was relaxed and put at ease by you and your team! I found the days exciting yet challenging and felt like I pushed myself further than I would if I had just gone to the gym on my own! So a thank you. Hope to do another of your courses soon”

Diana, 42, Weight Loss Retreat

“The Body Retreat is an incredible experience. You have no idea what your body is capable of until you’ve been on one. A brilliant way to kick-start a new lifestyle with like minded people who will laugh, smile, grimace and share the hard work with you in equal measures! Thank you.”

Anne, 67, Weight Loss Retreat

“I came in trepidation because of my age (67) but I needn’t have worried – the group of women were varied in age and ability, everyone supported each other, I had a fantastic experience and have lost weight, am fitter than I’ve been in years and most of all motivated to carry on! Thank you Julie”

Sarah, 43, Sugar Detox Retreat

“I felt very sluggish, bloated and heavy after Christmas, no surprise really, but it seemed to go on for weeks and weeks. Finally I had enough and I found your detox retreat. I liked the idea of there being exercise and workshops etc as I’m the type would get bored if left to just hang around relaxing. I can honestly say I was never bored! The days were very varied and although we were detoxing I never really felt hungry and I did have the energy to take part in the classes. I was so pleased to lose 4 inches from my stomach… 4 whole inches and I definitely don’t feel sluggish any more. Thank you.”

Rebecca, 35, Returners Retreat

I have just got home from another week on retreat and couldn’t feel better and more motivated. I found the body retreat a few years ago and I’m so glad I was lucky enough to stumble upon the golden standard of retreats! Jules and Julie are experts in their respective fields and you leave with an abundance of knowledge about your body as well as new skills to nourish and look after your body. The level and quality of this retreat is astonishing and worth every penny! You leave feeling cared for with their very personal approach. I couldn’t recommend the retreat enough (not to mention I’ve come back with the glossiest hair)!

Linda, Healthy Holiday

“If you are thinking about attending The Body Retreat then go for it! I must admit I was apprehensive attending the Reset Retreat, being a chubby, unfit, lethargic person who had lost her “joie de vivre”. 

Julie Brealy is so encouraging and kind putting you through your paces, and the food cooked by Juls is yummy! I never knew that such healthy food could be so tasty!

 I really noticed a difference in just about everything in me from my mood to food cravings to fitness levels!

 Now I am home, I am cooking (the recipes are so easy – I used to be a kitchen dodger); exercising; and am generally like an energiser bunny!

I know it is early days, but after so many years of health problems, I finally feel like I have some control over my body.”
