Hi Mel, 4 weeks since coming back from Antequera and things are going really well! 4 weeks on I am still as motivated as never before to exercise and eat healthily and my life has changed for the better since taking the holiday with you guys. I have lost 4kg in the past 4 weeks back at home and have been exercising 5-6 times/week and definitely seeing results in my overall fitness. I have taken the promotion I told you about and even though it has made my working days longer I feel somewhat more energetic. Proof for that being that I would never before have gone to the gym at 9pm after work whereas now I do and actually look forward to it. So, again: thanks for a life changing holiday and see you again! Dani

My 1st time at Finca Eslava / RFH was fabulous. Just had an 8 day stay. All the instructors are superb but be warned, they will push you hard ! The more you put in the more you will gain in the long term. I will definitely return within the next few months as I feel a week was not long enough to fully benefit from the cycling, walking

Just a quick thank you. I picked up a bronze medal in the 400IM at our long course national age group swimming competition last weekend. That is one of my main events and meant something to me! I got a handful of other relay medals with teammates too and turned in a couple of other half decent individual swims. My return to competitive swimming is still a work in progress, not surprisingly after only a month back in (semi-)serious training, but it was great to have the kick start with you in Antequera at the beginning of May. Things I discussed with Lissa, quick-burst circuits with Mel and plank circuits with Wayne (I have now cracked the full plank circuit, with superman at the end!) all played a part. Thank you!

This was my second time at RFH. This time I brought my husband with me. I enjoyed the entire trip as much as I enjoyed the last one. The program and activities were just as I had remembered them and it was a pleasure working with and learning from Mel and Janina. The hotel was excellent: very comfortable and friendly service. It is really nice how especially the restaurant staff are so welcoming and personable and the food was good with lots of things to choose from so we didnt become bored with it. My husband had a wonderful time as well. He even admitted to me, <<I never thought a fitness break could be so fun!>> He is much more fit than me and he was pleasantly surprised that the program was so well-differentiated so that even on the hikes and bike trips there were challenges for both the fit and <<less fit>> guests. This is an excellent way to spend a holiday: we had fun, laughed a lot, ate well, made new friends, spent time outdoors in beautiful surroundings AND we came home in better shape than when we left!
