All our workouts are designed to be challenging but adaptable to different fitness levels and are programmed so that everyone can work at their own pace.
Note: Yes, we can adapt the workout for you if you have any injuries.
In terms of baseline fitness level:
Having a decent base of fitness before coming on an Escape with us is a good idea - this will ensure your body is ready and prepped for a full week of workouts.
This doesn't mean you need to be an athlete or a gym-bunny, just that you're aware of how to move your body, have a regular exercise routine established, and overall, that you're game to get stuck into whatever we throw at you!
Give the week your best shot, that's all we ask.
Sample Structures/Formats:
All the workouts are bespoke in that they are programmed on retreat, specifically for you and your group.
In terms of styles, we like to incorporate a variety of styles into our programming. Some common formats and structures we like to include in the workout include:
Circuits (i.e. where you will work to a timer)
HIIT (i.e. interval training)
EMOMs
AMRAPs
'For time' workouts
Team-based workouts ('for reps')
Strength workouts
If you're not familiar with any of these styles that is perfectly fine - we will of course explain each workout before we get involved.
Each session will follow the same rough structure and will involve roughly 40 minutes of work time in the workout (excluding any structured rest), meaning we normally put aside somewhere between 45 mins and 1 hour for each workout.
The session will run as follows:
Explanation of the workout structure by the coaches
Demonstration of the exercises by the coaches
Warm up and movement prep
Main workout block
Cool down stretch
Occasionally on the shorter workouts, or when by request, there is also a 'finisher' after the main workout block where you'll do a short 3-6 minute 'blast' to max effort.
