Over many years of working with people looking to achieve health and fitness goals, we’ve noticed that there’s something the ones who do really well all have in common: they all have great support.

This is so important. Working towards a new you can be a lonely business, but everything – the food, the exercise, the lifestyle – is made so much easier if there are some people around who want to head the same way.
It’s one of the things that makes our residential courses in the Algarve so successful: every member of our small groups (there are never more than eight) shares similar aims and may also be grappling with some similar issues, and we see a lot of value in the mutual support guests give each other during their stay.
Of course, no two people are the same, and each guest is treated as an individual with a personally tailored programme. But the camaraderie and friendships that develop at Inspirit Retreat play a big part in the overall experience.
You need that camaraderie and friendship when you’re not on an Inspirit Retreat, too – and that’s why we always recommend that you try to find some likeminded people who’ll support you in your health and wellbeing goals.
Who they are isn’t important. They could be family, friends, colleagues, or strangers you meet at a group – what really matters is that they’ll understand and care about what you’re trying to achieve, and will always be there with that quiet word of encouragement when you need it the most.
