The fitness and health industries were hit terribly during the pandemic. All of my Retreats cancelled. Gyms closed, fitness classes cancelled. The impact ruined many small boutique gyms and studios. I had almost 2 years of Retreats cancelled in Spain, Dubai and Cyprus and didn’t believe I could pick myself up from this.

Health Retreats

I remain optimistic and will not give up. I am training some high profile clients in Dubai as a kind of on site 1-2-1 Retreat. If you can afford it, then why not. I managed to hold a Retreat in Cyprus November, with the next one January 2022 in the Canary Isles. My Health Retreats are very personal, with 5-6 guests.

We follow COVID safety protocols to ensure the safety of all guests.

Echelon Fit

Home/Online Workouts

Home/online workouts increased from 20%-70% overnight.
People invested in home gyms Peleton/Echelon bikes and virtual classes.

For me personally as an instructor I would offer free 20 minute workouts 3 x weekly with Pilates, HIIT, HIITABILATES and core strength, although I lost all of my income, delivering live sessions gave me a reason to get up, look presentable and do a workout, helping me also to maintain a routine.

As personal trainers and fitness instructors we had to be creative, it gave us an opportunity to review our own wellness, we were all stuck at home.

You had 2 options, couch potato or change the way we look after our health, the pandemic gave us the opportunity to reflect on our fitness and wellbeing.
Looking at alternative ways to support our physical and mental wellbeing. No commuting and we were able to get into a better sleep pattern. I was involved with BITA Networking, delivering advice on mindfulness and health.

Healthy Eating

We started to experiment with healthy cooking. A number of healthy food deliveries like Hello Fresh, Mindful Chef and Love Yourself, as more people were opting for healthier alternatives. The meal kit industry boomed and continues to thrive beyond the pandemic

The Health and Wellness industry is very profitable globally and although Gyms, Studios and spas hit and incredible loss, Health and wellness has fast forward to the virtual world and a life of convenience, so health can easily be incorporated in your life.

We had to look for new ways to support our physical and mental wellbeing, lets face it, this is the new normal.
Wellness Revolution!
