RWL Reviews 

I recently attended the one day fitness event and WOW!!! Absolutely incredible day from start to finish. Amazing classes, engaging trainers and yummy food. It’s a definite must!

The company is amazing and that it why I am still a member almost 5 years later.
I attended the Fitness Day and it was incredible and I CANNOT wait for the next one.
Jason, Casey and the team were brilliant and you could see every little bit of hard work that had gone into organising an unforgettable day.
I would not only recommend the app, I will always recommend that until I'm blue in the face, but I would definitely say to book onto the next fitness day, you will not regret it!

I had a great experience on the RWL Retreat in Portugal in November 2024. We were lucky with good weather and that made the coastal hikes, varied workouts and pool plunges even more enjoyable. The food was delicious and plentiful (for a pescatarian), the group of women really interesting, and the balance of workouts and conversation and fun just right. 4 nights was really worthwhile, I think 3 would have felt too short for me, and I was lucky to add a couple of nights on for holiday too. Thanks very much to the team who work so hard to make it a brilliant experience - and very good value I would agree!

Words cannot describe how amazing this retreat is but I’ll do my best. Cecelia and her team have created the perfect retreat full of challenging workouts, inspiring workouts and incredible food. You don’t have to lift a finger - in fact they tell you off if you try to help! The women I met were so inspiring and it gave me the reset and motivation that I needed to keep going on my fitness journey. As a RWL member, I loved meeting some of the trainers in real life and I would 100000% be booking again.

RWL Portugal Retreat….cant fault it. The people, the food, the location, the atmosphere. Came away feeling refreshed and my cup refilled. Hard to be away from my children but I was made to feel at home and at ease! Thank you Cecilia, Lauren and Izzy….as well as the 2 chefs that cooked our 3 meals everyday! Will 100% try and return! Thank you!

Outstanding!!! Perfect reset for busy women who need to remember to make time for themselves. Spending a weekend with like minded women, listening to their stories and having an amazing team from RWL to support you through the journey and help heal you is priceless. Food is Outstanding and cater for all needs....you NEVER feel hungry or need to snack as you're always kept full with beautiful food thanks to Lydia and Andrea's. Lauren our PT for the weekend was amazing and catered workouts to suit our abilities. She was kind and supportive all through our journey. The walks through the beautiful scenery of the Algarve are breathtaking and having Cecila to guide you means you can just chat with new friends and enjoy every moment. Cecila is simply inspirational and it was a privilege to spend a weekend with her. Cannot recommend this retreat enough....best trip I've ever taken and will treasure the memories forever! Thank you RWL 😊

What a privilege to spend a weekend at this retreat with such knowledgeable and inspirational trainers. It was everything I hoped. However this is fitness focused and not a relaxation spa. Please ensure you do your research and understand what you can expect from the weekend in order to make the most from experience. It’s at a very reasonable price point in order to be accessible to all, therefore accommodation is more rustic than luxury. Authentic Portugal at its finest. Go with a positive mindset and can do attitude and you won’t be disappointed!

Just returned from my 2nd visit to Portugal retreat and 3rd visit overall having attended an Essex retreat in 2019. I couldn’t recommend enough, I feel on such a high having had a weekend of great food, amazing instructors, well thought out schedule, sunshine & motivational hosts. The venue is a gorgeous rustic villa, not some swanky hotel so you feel completely transported from all your mudane day to day life tasks, there are beach walks, hill walks & a cute traditional town. The retreat is designed to challenge you but also provide balance, spending time with likeminded people is such a great reset.

The retreat is very affordable, I do not know how they’ve managed to provide these chefs, instructors, venue & all the additional support for the price they do, it’s so accessible to all which is clearly important to them. I’ve been solo and with friends and I’ve seen ages from early 20’s up to 70’s.

You will get out what you put in, throw yourself in and give everything a try you won’t regret it. I sound like I’m on the payroll but I’m just a paying customer that is genuinely so grateful for this retreat and everything it offers & want others to experience it to.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at the retreat, mixing with amazing wonderful people from all walks of life, enjoying exceptional food, and most important the staff who make this experience an incredible experience. I have learnt so so much about myself and feel I can achieve anything. Thank you to all the wonderful amazing souls. Can’t thank you enough!!!

The most amazing retreat! RWL team are fantastic, the villa is lovely and spacious and in a fantastic location. A really well planned agenda with free time if that's what you want and a variety of classes to try. The daily walks are stunning and well planned, the food is amazing and the whole atmosphere is relaxed and fun. A great opportunity to invest in yourself and meet some lovely people along the way.

Book it, you won’t regret it. I have been on three Portugal RWL Retreats (Oct 23, April 24, Oct 24). I wouldn’t keep coming back if it wasn’t worth. Each retreat has just got better. I first went as a solo traveller and took a step into the unknown. Through each experience I have learnt something new to bring home and build into my daily life. The retreat gives you an opportunity to try exercises and food you may not try at home. It also creates space for you to breathe and take time for yourself. It’s a beautiful part of the world and the team are fabulous. They do not let you lift a finger (unless of course it’s work out time!) and have thought of everything. From the moment you arrive it’s a welcoming, homely environment, nothing is pushed on you, it’s clear from when you arrive this is your time to make your retreat what you want it to be. You’ll meet women of all ages, experiences and ability and find you meet friends for life in such a short space of time together. I cannot recommend an RWL retreat enough. Stop scrolling and book it.

Book this retreat!! My sister and I (ages 27&24) had an amazing time with Cecilia, Nancy and Jason. Although we came away hobbling and not being able to walk, the experience was so worth it and I came away with some really valuable lessons that will make a positive impact to my life! Their energy was infectious and so motivating. The food was excellent. As a whole, the weekend was incredibly inspiring and I would recommend this retreat to every woman of any age!!

The most amazing experience and returned home a new woman! I travelled on my own, met some amazing coaches, other woman and ate incredible food! The daily walks, activities and talks were so uplifting. Everyone was fighting their own personal battles and we have truly made friends for life who inspire one another. The villa was beautiful. Don’t hesitate if you are considering booking. I am definitely returning.

The whole experience was amazing, exceeded my expectations!! The classes were fabulous, the food outstanding and the staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and inspirational.
The women in the group were fantastic, loved our conversations.
Great value for money too!

I have spent the weekend at the retreat and wow what can I say!! This has been an amazing experience! Lots of workouts, walks, amazing food and downtime in the pool/ hot tub. I have had an amazing well needed break, thank you xx

I liked the option of a trial and the ease of signing up but you don't know what the app is going to be like until you sign up. I decided against continuing with the membership as it wasn't for me.
I didn't find the app very user friendly, there a lot of sections so you're spending a lot of time going back and forth. The food tracker was pretty ineffective in comparison to My Fitness Pal (minimal food items stored) so I was switching to MFP to track which defeats the object.
The main reason I didn't like it though was the exercise plan 'New Beginnings' (recommended by the coach) I found so unprofessional. The 2 PT's didn't really complement each other and kepy interrupting each other. I didn't feel exercises were explained properly and the chap kept sniffing loudly into his microphone on the first session. The second session lacked any kind of interest...25 minutes consisted of the same 4 exercises over and over again. I don't normally clock watch through a workout, but I did for that one.
It has the potential to be brilliant and perhaps I would have felt differently with a different workout but in comparison to another app I tried (James Smith) it made me appreciate how slick and professional that experience was.
Also, I found the constant emails of taking up membership and special prices off putting.

EDIT 9/10/24. Despite my feedback, I am STILL receiving emails asking to re-join with a special offer with no option to unsubscribe.

RWL has changed my life for the better. The mixture of workouts, nutrition and mindset has gave me a new lease of life back in 2021 but even more now the community has helped me make friends from life. The trainers are all real people and genuinely care about all members which was clearly shown when I went on the retreat in Portugal in 2023. They were all incredible and I love my little RWL community.

Rejoined again after an enticing deal. Great to be back! Summer shred started! Best workouts there are and so easy to connect to tv and get motivated quickly!

I am so pleased to be back with RWL after having to cancel my previous membership due to major eye surgery. After nearly 9 months out of doing any physical exercise I am happy regaining my confidence & getting my fitness back with the help & support of RWL. There are so many workouts to choose from that appeal to every level of fitness & the help & advice is always available. Excellent eating plans & nutritional advice too. I’m very happy 🤗

Literally nowhere to be able to cancel subscriptions not used it it paid £40 nearly for this didn’t use it. It’s continuing to take money out of my account. They’re refusing to refund. I would absolutely stay clear of this company. They are literally just stealing money from people 0 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend there are far better more user-friendly options out there plus there’s free stuff on YouTube.
