the workouts
Workout Away HIIT™
Workout Away HIIT is a 30-minute High-Intensity Interval Training session designed to burn calories, reduce body fat and tone. HIIT is a science-proven method which improves cardiovascular fitness, speed and agility, and challenges performance beyond normal physical limits.
​
Workout Away Revive™ - Yoga Inspired Stretching Class
Revive is our signature yoga-inspired stretching class that anyone can do. You don't have to be a traditional yogi to fall in love with this restorative session.
​
You'll practice energising sun salutations to develop full-body strength and flexibility. You'll challenge balance and coordination with powerful standing stretches and move through seated twists to alleviate stress and restore energy levels.
Workout Away Rivals™
Rivals is our brand new format for 2023. We've taken all the best bits from circuit, strength and functional training-based classes and created a team-based session where healthy competition drives sports and strength performance.
​
Workout Away Tricore™
Our brand new, innovative triset workout meticulously crafted to fortify the core - your body's powerhouse!
Workout Away Tricore zeroes in on three main rounds of work to strengthen the Glutes, Posterior Chain, and Abdominals.
So this is what you can expect from your Etu retreat. As you can see, there’s plenty to keep you busy, active and feeling great!
All workouts are optional and included. You may want to get involved in everything, but we understand that everyone needs a bit of me-time too.
