Bearfoot Breaks

From the second we were met at the airport Kirsty and Jake looked after us with an extraordinary level of personalised care. The workouts were tailored to our abilities while still pushing us hard enough, plus combined with ways to work out in the beautiful surroundings, runs around the lake, swimming and yoga on the beach made this a very special boot camp weekend. And I must mention the food, super healthy yet delicious.

There is no better retreat out there, folks! My daughter (12) and I came from Canada to spend a week with Jake and Kirsty. You will never feel more at home, better fed, or more specifically taken care of than you will at Bearfoot Breaks. We were lucky enough to be their first guests of the season, and, wow, was it fantastic! From the pickup at the train station to the welcome walk and meal and complete program, these folks are the real deal! I was about to undergo knee surgery (it's possible that I'm 40...something), yet my daughter wanted to get ready for the start of her track season. Jake created a program that worked for both of us and pushed us as far as we wanted to go. Kirsty fed us like Kings. My previously only-chicken-nugget-eating daughter ate every Paleo meal, asking for seconds many times. She even drank green smoothies! Victory! From Dominique the donkey to the AMRAPS, daily challenges, sunrise hikes, tai chi and yoga, there is nothing I can compare this to! My daughter got to pet a donkey, hold a baby goat, and go way out of her comfort zone. Kirsty gave us much needed advice for our last shopping night in Paris! We cannot recommend this retreat highly enough and hope to be lucky enough to return!
