Written by the company

We created Workout Away in 2018 to bring people together who love to live well, have fun, and connect with others. Our resorts are luxurious and our retreats are organised with every detail meticulously thought through to create the ultimate fitness retreat experience. Workout Away has certainly created an impression, and that's why we're five-star rated on Trustpilot. Many of our guests have come back for more, with some of our most loyal fitness fanatics now on their third retreat with us. In 2022 we introduced our Etu product that brings the same Workout Away quality at a lower price point. Sure, we've taken away some of the extra touches and brought the accommodation choice down a star, and the result is a low-cost, high-value retreat which we're sure you're going to love! See you soon! 💙

Amazing fitness retreat!

Had such a good time on this retreat. Both Jess and Chris are fantastic at what they do. The workouts were really enjoyable. They were well planned and were able to be adapted to different abilities while being encouraging and fun.

The resort itself is perfect for both fitness element to the retreat and the relaxation side and is perfect location for exploring Marrakesh.

I will definitely be booking on for another retreat in the future.

Incredible winter escape

What an amazing experience with the most incredible people! I booked this retreat with a friend for a winter getaway to the sunny destination. It was my first time attending a retreat with Etu and I absolutely loved it!

The trainers were highly skilled, approachable, and made the experience so much fun. A big thank you to Morgan, Chris, and Terrell for their expertise and enthusiasm!

One thing I particularly enjoyed was the balance between training sessions and free time. The schedule was perfectly curated, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the culture of Marrakech and explore the city at our own pace.

The resort itself was impeccable. The hotel staff were extremely hospitable, and the food was absolutely delicious. The entertainment team at the hotel also added to the overall experience and made it even more enjoyable.

Overall, I cannot recommend this retreat enough. It was a truly incredible experience with fantastic people, and I can't wait to book another retreat with Etu in the future!

Amazing dance retreat in Marrakesh.

I had an absolutely wonderful time - brilliant instructors, beautiful resort, great food. All in a company of like minded people. Without any doubt the best retreat you can go on.

Superb Retreat Experience in Morocco

Morgan and Terrell and the wider team made the experience totally awesome! The quality of the workouts were challenging but fun and pushed me to try out newer types of workouts when back home e.g. Revive sessions. The accommodation and food quality was excellent and the team made it their priority to ensure you had a great experience. I'm looking forward to booking another in 2024!

This was my first time travelling solo and couldn’t have asked for a better way to do it! Great balance of workouts vs free time to explore and chill. Big shout out to Morgan and Terrell for such fun classes and Chris for organising everything. Would highly recommend.

exceeded all expectations - the most wonderful break

the information received in advance, the welcome on arrival, the standard of instruction, the overall quality: outstanding professionalism.
This was my first singles break & my first fitness holiday. It was brilliant in every way. I was a little nervous about doing yoga for the first time, the guidance was supportive and constructive, immediately I was put at ease. Ella, Laura & Chris made the dances fun as well as challenging. I have recommended Etu Retreats to all of my friends.

DANCE MARRAKECH - AMAZING!

AMAZING! Brilliant! Fun! There are not enough words to describe what a fabulous holiday this was! The venue was 5* and more - facilities, food and setting were excellent. But our crew (Chris, Ella, Laura and Terrell) are what made it so special, going above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. They are the best instructors and I loved their sessions and choreo. You have my credit card details - please put my name down for the next one!!

My second time in Crete with ETU and it was absolutely incredible!
Chris and Nas were amazing! The fun, the laughter and great workouts, along with amazing bunch of people, made this retreat an unforgettable experience!
Made some new friends for life and definitely enjoyed the burpees more than I would in the gym 😂
See you all next year 💙🇬🇷

Great value retreat in Greece!

This is my second etu retreat this year, as I was with them in Crete in May and I loved it so much that I had to go back!
Everything is great: the timetable and workouts, the gorgeous resort with many swimming pools and private coves, the delicious and varied food (it's all inclusive!), and the lovely instructors!
The price is great for what you get. I will definitely be booking another retreat soon!

Great

Everything was perfect, organized and planned very well.

Just the company need to provide more activities out of the accommodation site

Thank you Manaf for your five-star review! It's a great point about the activities outside of the resort. On our Workout Away escapes, we do include excursions, but for our low-cost Etu Retreats, we don't include any extras, other than the accommodation, meals, and workouts, that add to the overall price of the retreat. We're glad you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to see you again soon. Chris 😀

The best trip for a female solo traveller

This was my first solo trip and one of the best experiences I've had! Everything was so well organised from start to finish and Chris and Terrell were the most accommodating hosts & trainers. The whole trip was so perfectly executed, with attention to detail to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience, including a friendly Whatsapp group that everyone could join beforehand to get to know each other a little or arrange shared transfers from the airport! The resort in Crete was absolutely stunning and whilst there's an active schedule, it still felt entirely relaxing and fun. The workouts were my favourite part (of course!) and Chris and Terrell brought nothing but great energy and good vibes throughout. I loved that the workouts are so varied, meaning every day felt different and there was a great balance of strength based vs high-impact exercises too. I thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone looking for their next fitness retreat and I can't wait to book my next one! Thanks for an amazing experience :)

Already planning my next retreat!

I honestly don't have a negative word to say about the Etu retreat to Crete! I booked last minute on a bit of a whim and wasn't sure what to expect, but from the first contact with Chris and Terrell in resort, I knew I was in for a great few days.

The workouts were challenging but inclusive, and the schedule for each day was really thoughtfully planned. The hotel was great, the food was plentiful, and the company was brilliant. When it was time to leave I was genuinely sad to say goodbye to our group!

I've already recommended Etu to friends and wouldn't hesitate to book again.

A fitness retreat to remember

I had a lovely time! Both Chris and Terrell are great instructors and very fun to be around. I really enjoyed the variety and amount of classes, and I couldn't have wished for a nicer group of people to share them with. Really positive experience overall. Volveré!

Marrakesh November 2022

Marrakesh November 2022 - such a great fitness retreat. The hotel was great, the rooms really comfortable and spacious, the all inclusive food was excellent!
Chris, Nas and Terrel were fantastic instructors, bringing energy, fun and encouragement to all session. It was great to have the flexibility to do the sessions you wanted, and balance these out with trips or relaxation by the pool.
I’ve already booked another etu retreat for this year.
