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.

Our primary activities were sailing, water-ski and yoga, and Messini is a good choice for these. The wind was quite light, less than we expected but perhaps normal for May. I imagine the on shore breeze would kick in during the afternoon more if it were sunnier. The yoga area is large, comfortable, shaded and close to the sea with wonderful views. Water ski is good in the mornings when the water is quite flat and the breeze very light. Food was amazing and plentiful. Local restaurants very good and reasonably priced. Car hire very easy - we did our own trip to ancient Messini at a fraction of the excursion cost for our party of 4. The staff are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful as is our experience on all Neilson holidays. The garden rooms are well spaced from each other, with very well kept gardens. The room itself is quite tight around the beds but perfectly adequate. There's no wardrobe so clothes are mostly visible on the shelving provided. The (obscured) glass door on the bathrooms is a bit quirky. The shower was fantastic though with lots of hot water, quite important on an activity holiday!
Food was consistently the best we have ever had at any venue catering for so many guests.

Food was consistently the best we have ever had at any venue catering for so many guests.
We enjoyed the cycling, fitness and sailing activities. Instruction was good but we would have liked tell tales on the Laser sails and perhaps a black sailing class or a split between single and two handed boats for red sailing and no more than three people (preferably just 2) in two handed boats on light wind days.
Our ground floor ‘garden room’ met our needs - comfortable bed, nice shower, kettle, fridge, tea bags etc. but a dustpan and brush would have been useful to sweep up sand between cleaning days and we really needed a slightly larger airer to dry wet sailing kit. (It was cold enough during our stay to need wetsuits).
Water bottles and fill up stations really useful.
Fantastic first experience of a Neilson holiday, idyllic location, great food. All members of the family, 2 teenagers and parents had the best time. Windsurfing qualifications, teen club, yoga.
