The trip overall was a little bit of a disappointment. I’m going to explain why. On instagram the last trips looked amazing, the hosts (Dave and Nicole) looked really fun, the activities looked well organised and the workouts looked great. The reality was not so much. The first 3 days of training was good because there was a morning workout at 7am and then a lesson in the afternoon. But unfortunately you don’t get any other options other than the schedule that is made for us. For example: the yoga teacher was not really my vibe but there was nothing else I could do the second time the yoga was planned. It would have been better if there was an option to do weightlifting. We were really unprepared for the hike to Mount Batur, no one of the organisation mentioned to anyone how tough the hike to mount batur was going to be. This was a huge fail because the hike was too difficult for some people and she knew their conditions. A warning should have been made. We sadly only had one host (Nicole) and at the beginning it was all good and she gave us some good tips for restaurants and places to go to so that was really kind and good from her. But as the week went on she was not that involved anymore in the group as you would like for a host. For example when one girl got injured from the surfing lesson she did not take her to the doctor immediately to get stitches but another girl from the group took her to the doctor. Feel like this should be part of the job of the host because she knows where to go. And she took a meeting with other people when she was having lunch with us, felt a little bit dissapointed. It would have been better if beforehand they would let you know that the breakfast is not the included one at the hotel but you go to a different spot every day which you have to pay extra for. It would be way better if you go to the hotel right after the 7am workout, eat the free breakfast at the hotel and then get the option to go to a lunch spot with the group or on your own. The group of people which we had made the trip very fun and great. Also the driver Johnny is the best driver ever and a good laugh, the music he played was a real vibe!!!

Firstly I’d like to mention that I don’t do reviews but I just couldn’t NOT leave one for the best week I had at Wanderlust. I met some amazing people who have now become friends and worked along side some amazing trainers. I did have some apprehension about attending a fitness retreat alone but after the first evening of welcome cocktails with Dave, our host Nicole and my new team all my worries were gone. My time at the retreat was so awesome that I ended up staying and doing an Eat, Sleep, Train package which also exceeded my expectations. Quick scores below: Activities- 10/10 Accomodation- 10/10 Communication- 10/10 Trainers- 10/10 Travel- 10/10 Food- 10/10 Gym- 10/10 Vibes- 10/10 Dave’s swim attire - 11/10 Thank you to everyone at Wanderlust for making the Magic happen….continuously and consistently. I’ll be back next year!

From the welcome drinks to the closing party, all the workouts, professional photo’s and super brunch spots…it’s been a life changing week to say the least. Met the most amazing people from all over the world who travelled alone or with friends to join the retreat. All levels are welcome at the retreat and the gym. The hospitality at Wanderlust is beyond me. Dave and his team/staff did an amazeballs job to create the community which welcomes you the second you walk in. We also had the absolute sweetest host Nicole and she made sure we were taken care of at every hour of the day and had the best restaurant tips in the Canggu area. The downtime between the sessions are just enough to chill, sunbath, shop or having a massage. My absolute fave were the Saturday Smasher and the (first ever) swim wod at the Wanderlust pool by Dave. I miss the week and it’s vibes already and would love to do it again when I’m back on the island(skipping the volcano hike next time tho 😂)!! A 10/10 for me!! Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOW This entire trip was absolutely picture perfect. From airport pickup to drop off I truly felt taken care of by the entire staff involved. I felt safe and comfortable and supported the entire time. Whether it was a group excursion planned or if I wanted to venture off on my own, guidance and transportation was happily provided. What a great time and experience. I can't wait for the opportunity to plan another trip and next time I'm definitely bringing friends!!

This is my second retreat with Wanderlust and by far this was a life changing experience. Sonny is an incredible soul and on the first night he introduced himself to everyone on the retreat to find out who they are and what they wanted to achieve at the end. Each day I learnt and adapted to every critique Sonny gave me and also loved the epic photos provided by Callum (Sonny's Videographer). They both made sure that this was an epic experience. Seriously the most unbelievable trip !!!!
