Yoga, Bootcamp and Tree Houses – The Next Retreat
Yoga, Bootcamp and Tree Houses – The Next Retreat
Where? Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa, our tree house accommodation pictured above.
Exactly? Hampshire in the UK, a 2 hour train journey or drive out of London.
Why? Next clothing, the British high street retailer, has just launched a fantastic new active wear range called the NX Sports collection. The range includes swimwear, yoga, sports and fitness pieces.
To celebrate the launch Next invited me and a group of journalists and bloggers out the Chewton Glen Spa for a luxury sports retreat to test the performance and styles of the collection.
Night swimming – on arrival night I decided to go for a quick dip in the elegant black mesh swimsuit from the collection.
Workin’ it!

Bonnie wears black mesh zip through, black technical leggings, sports bra and trainers.
Beautiful Chewton Glen is a luxury spa hotel with indoor and outdoor pools, hydro therapy circuit, treatment rooms, high tech gym, yoga studio and all the essentials required for us to test out our new kit!

The hydro jet circuit is the perfect way to unwind at the end of a hectic day. Indoor and outdoor jacuzzi, hot tubs and hot jets target varied parts of the body and steam rooms and saunas complete the spa experience.
The Tree Houses
As well as the exclusive spa one of the main reasons people come to Chewton Glen is to stay in the incredible tree houses. These rooms are the ultimate in luxury, a grand circular bedroom is connected to a separate living room and kitchen via a glass walkway/ viewing platform.
From a wood burning stove, the most sumptuous beds, rain showers, free standing bath to outdoor hot tub and terraces, these rooms ooze style and you can’t helped but feel pampered. So much so I barely wanted to leave the room. It would be great for a romantic weekend away as well as girly retreat.

The beach hike
After a filling hearty breakfast we all donned our puffa jackets and outdoors gear and headed out in the sunshine for a morning beach hike.
Hiking kit – Bonnie wears blue puffa jacket, beanie hat, rucksack and water bottle all by NX Sports collection.
Final destination – the beach at Chewton Glen is practically deserted and boast sweeping views of the beautiful English winter coastline.
Barry’s Bootcamp
Back at the hotel we split up into smaller groups to try out an HIIT Barry’s Bootcamp session lead my Barry’s master trainer Ollie Truelove. Wow that was intense!!
Yoga Stretch with Cat Meffan
After our bootcamp session we were treated to a delicious warm down and stretch yoga session with the stunning yogi @CatMeffan. Here she is on the beach wearing Next’s new active sportswear leggings and bra top. She is truly an inspiration.
Pre dinner and post a full body massage treatment I couldn’t resist having another well earned relaxation session back at the hydrotherapy pools. Obsessed!
Dinner is served
After all that exercise we all sat down to a delicious, healthy four course dinner in the summer house dining rooms. Pictured above – my salmon starter.

And so to bed.
Thank you so much Next for an amazing trip to Chewton Glen. It was exactly the perfect way to start the year, all revved up and feeling healthy, ready to take on 2017!
Bon Voyage.
Looks like a great place for a relaxing break. Love the Next swimwear range too :)
