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
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.
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.

Each part of the package was refreshingly good. This began with Titan Airways providing enough legroom for six-footers. The transfer went smoothly. The family-run hotel was always clean. Our sea-view rooms were great. The owner-managers and staff were friendly and attentive.
The Neilson side of things was amazing, as always. Staff were friendly and suitably sensitive to people's varying abilities and levels of fitness. They kept everything sociable and fun. As a former club instructor (in the distant past) I could see that the Neilson instructors had been very well trained.
Neilson, you are a godsend. Holiday boosts to health and fitness are so important. We hope you can survive the problems that Covid has brought to the travel industry.
Great club, nice rooms, lovely food. Tennis, cycling, sailing, exercise classes all excellent.

As always another wonderful Neilson holiday. This time in Croatia which was a great resort. This resort is very close to lots of restaurants and shops.
Food was good and varied in the restaurant and always plentiful. Options for gluten free were provided. Staff a the bar and restaurant were very friendly and the Skybar has fantastic views.
Our son throughly enjoyed hot shots and the amazing team (Tom, Oscar, Tommy, Ollie and Jade) as well as his new favourite sport wakeboarding (Dominique and Rory).
I spent most of my time in the fitness classes with the ever energetic Rory and Agnella.
If you get a chance I would recommend the rock climbing in the national Park. I am scared of heights but loved it.
Hats off to the General Manager (Sally) who was onsite and managing a local incident. Always calm and collected and even helped us find a local vet to help a stray kitten.
It was great to find so many of the team who had all been children growing up on Neilson holidays. Their formula works.
Can’t wait for next year.
