The Londoner's six-week fitness challenge
The Londoner hotel in the heart of Leicester Square, London, has announced a new six-week fitness challenge exclusive to The Retreat – its fitness and wellness centre - from Monday 9th January.
This powerful one-of-a-kind program will help individuals develop a consistent and sustainable wellness goal, which they can maintain forever. Each guest will be assigned their own personal trainer who will provide a consultation upon sign up, before tackling an exceptional mind, body & soul challenge that will finish with the best possible results, whatever that may be.
Each trainer will provide twelve 1-hour sessions across the six weeks, each targeted to individual goals and needs. The challenge finishes with a 60-minute deep tissue massage in the final week with the added benefit of having access to The Retreat's wide range of amenities, designed to improve all functions of the body and mind. Complementing this, Refuel, the food and beverage bar designed to refresh, recharge and rejuvenate will also provide two protein smoothies per session to be taken as a pre-and post-workout treat.
The Retreat works with best-in-class personal trainers who successfully train a wide variety of clients including musicians, actors, fashion designers, sportsmen, and heads of industry. Introducing the personal trainers who will be running the challenge below:
Stuart Balkham – not one to shy away from a challenge, Stuart has completed multiple endurance races including the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Marathon. Whilst Stuart specialises in fat loss and muscle maintenance, his interests also lie in pre-and post-natal training, helping clients to prepare their bodies for labour and aiding them in their recovery.
Ben Kilner – Having spent 15 years treating and training people from the general public to corporate executives, professional sportsmen, and high-profile actors and musicians, he has also worked with GBR athletes and conditioned many clients through tough endurance challenges. Ben's specialist interest is in injury prevention and functional training for office workers looking to improve their fitness.
