from reps to relaxation - the etu story! 🫶
our birth 👶
June 2022
Etu Retreats was born in June 2022, created by Christopher Pyne, the founder of our older sister brand, Workout Away.
Inspired by the idea that fitness escapes don't have to cost a fortune, Etu was designed to bring all the sweat, fun, and connection of a premium retreat, but at a price that’s refreshingly accessible, using four-star venues.
first retreat 🚀
November 2022
Our journey began with an unforgettable launch retreat in sunny Marrakesh, where 12 of us came together for fitness, fun, and all the vibes.
The gorgeous weather set the stage for a week of sweat, laughter, and connection, leaving us with not just amazing memories but also a stack of glowing five-star reviews from our first retreaters.
etu hits crete! 🇬🇷
May 2023
In May 2023, we touched down in Crete for our very first retreat on this stunning island. With its crystal-clear waters, warm Mediterranean vibes, and incredible fitness energy, Crete welcomed us with open arms.
It was a week of unforgettable workouts, local flavors, and plenty of smiles, marking another exciting chapter in the Etu story
we're growing 🌍
Summer 2025
In 2025, we’re expanding to two incredible destinations. The Dominican Republic marks our first long-haul retreat, offering unbeatable value in a tropical paradise, while Montenegro brings adventure and stunning scenery to our European lineup.
Both are perfect escapes for the savvy budget traveller
We first created Workout Away (our older sister) in 2018 to bring together people who love to live well, have fun, and connect with others.
While Workout Away has always been a hit at the premium end, in 2022, we saw an opportunity to offer top-class fitness retreats for those who want to sweat in the sun without dropping a fortune. Enter Etu Retreats!
All Etu Retreats are all-inclusive, meaning no surprise costs. You'll enjoy the same strength, cardio, and restorative stretching classes as you would with Workout Away, but some extras like boat trips and bike ride tours aren't included. You can opt for these excursions separately if you choose.
Etu hotels aren't ultra-luxurious, but they're super comfortable and spotlessly clean, designed to give you a great night's sleep and a space to relax and recharge. Our guests have told us that they love our resorts, and providing that you don't need lots of fancy touches to have an epic time, we think you'll love them too!
Our Etu Retreat coaches, trained in the UK by our Master Trainer, are the heart of our retreats. They’ll bring the experience to life and leave you eager to come back for more!
See you soon!
