Indoor cycling studios
Ride together no matter your fitness in this fun, high-intensity cardio-based workout. Our group indoor cycling classes are great for strength, speed and endurance. The Neilson fitness team will fire you up with energising tunes creating an immersive experience to encourage you through the ride with periods of both high and low resistance.
Go at your own pace. Whether you're a beginner or enjoy a regular class at home, we will keep you motivated with playlists to keep the good vibes flowing.
Indoor cycling is a great workout for improving cardiovascular health as it increases your heart rate and blood flow, each class is 45 minutes. Available at Levante, Vounaki, Messini and Alana Beach Clubs.

High intensity classes
Scientifically proven to get you fitter, and faster, these effective interval training sessions will maximise your workout in a short time, while the early morning runs will energize you for the rest of the day.
HIIT - High-Intensity Interval Training is a technique used to create a 100% all-out effort workout through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by short recovery periods.
This 30-minute HIIT workout mixes body strength and cardio to give maximum results - you'll work hard and feel great!
Run club - This is a social run for mixed abilities, we generally aim for around 5km but shorter and longer options are also on the timetable. The terrain can be a road or track or sometimes a mixture of both. Don't worry, it's not too off-road that trail trainers are needed.
Inclusive
Family fitness sessions
We believe in fitness for everyone. That's why we offer fun classes throughout the week suitable for all, whether you want to dance, laugh, or have fun with the family.
Zumba - Strictly come Zumba! A brilliant fitness dance workout that's easy to follow and fun with catchy tunes to keep you smiling. Families are encouraged to take part on family mornings.
Circuits - Kids of all ages will enjoy the fun, interactive stations which our instructors will adapt especially for the family sessions.
Kids' club fitness - Our clubs all have their own sessions with the fitness instructors - from animal yoga and dance games for the under fives to Zumba and circuits for 6 to 11 year olds plus aqua and boxfit for the teens.

Hyrox
Inspired by the world of hybrid fitness, our HYROX-style sessions mix running and cardio bursts with functional movement – get ready for squats, lunges, jumps, pushes and pulls. It’s full‑body, high-energy and hugely satisfying, but always coached, scalable and fun. No racing, no pressure – just great workouts and great vibes.
Really enjoyed the intro to windsurfing course run by Billy & Jake. They made a great team. I learnt loads. Didn’t think I’d ever windsurf tbh!

Daisy’s attention to detail to ensure our (last minute!) holiday went to plan was greatly appreciated.
Theo was a great manger in Daisy’s absence.
Stelios and the lady at the cocktail bar were really lovely. Loved the lunchtime menu, and evening drinks - sometimes providing chance to see some of the experienced team windsurf in their downtime!
I also enjoyed the stretch / yoga classes - much needed after being on the water!
Overall, really great and seamless team. Including the coordination at the airport - all made very easy/straightforward. And nice to have the intro meeting and awards night - all good fun.
The apartment room across the road was very comfortable, clean and quiet, which is much appreciated. Breakfast by the pool was a lovely setting. And super helpful I could borrow an iron during my stay!
We hope to be back next year!

Thoroughly enjoyed our first Neilson holiday! Unfortunately my husband broke his wrist before the holiday so was unable to join in the activities, but the Neilson team and guests were all lovely to him and he enjoyed lots of walking in beautiful surroundings. I want to thank the beach team, especially Miguel, Olly and Tamsin, who taught me to windsurf on the green beginners course. A fantastic experience - Tamsin, thanks for your tips on day 4 which helped me to gybe/ jibe!! Thanks also to the fitness team, the Zumba and Yoga classes were amazing, and I enjoyed the group running. In the evening we both loved the Sardinian night, Rock the Room and the presentation/disco night.

We loved our stay at Vounaki Beach Club! We had perfect weather all week and enjoyed a wide range of activities, on land and sea. My husband did the Level 1 Sailing course and I took advantage of the fitness classes. We both went on the long open water swims and enjoyed the coach trip to Lefkada. The food was delicious and offered a selection of locally sourced specialities. We are already planning our next Neilson holiday!
