Primal Retreat is a residential fitness retreat in the UK. We run Weekend Fitness Primal Retreats, 5 Night Residential Primal Retreats, and 7 Night Residential Primal Retreats throughout the year in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
We limit group size to six people per retreat. We find this gives a more personal and quality experience. You will benefit by having much more individual attention while exercising, and we find that this fosters a relaxed, friendly, and informal environment. There is plenty of downtime where it's possible to mix with other participants, or just spend time on your own to recharge.
Paleo Diet / Primal Diet - Our menu is based on the Paleo diet (should be called the Paleo Lifestyle). We don't calorie count or restrict, and we don't starve our clients. Foods are extremely nutritious, healthy and tasty. It's simple wholesome food that should leave you full with a feeling of satisfaction & well being. Find out more on the retreat pages or read our testimonials to see how other participants enjoyed the food.
Exercise and Fitness - On all our residential retreats you can expect a variety of low and high intensity exercise. You will have up to 5 hours of exercise per day which will include a long walk in the morning, an afternoon circuit, boxing fitness or natural movement class, and then we finish with a late afternoon yoga session to wind down before dinner.
No experience is necessary and all fitness levels are welcome. You train within your own ability and fitness level.
Natural Movement has grown in popularity over recent years with the growing realisation that humans need to reconnect with nature, and rediscover how our bodies are designed to move. We practice techniques such as balancing, crawling, jumping, lifting, throwing, and climbing. These drills are fun, exhilarating, and will leave you feeling stronger, fitter, with improved mobility and agility.

I came to the retreat having already been on the Paleo diet for six months and also being an active, fit person. The retreat is set in an amazing house and grounds which offer luxury for the downtime between activities. There is a perfect amount of rest time between activities and the timetable is kept to 100% which means the day is easy to follow. With the groups being small everyone has individual attention which means you are getting a personal trainer for between 5-6 hours a day. The food on the retreat would rival any 5 star accommodation and while being absolutely delicious is plentiful with seconds and thirds available. I would say it’s the best weeks diet I have ever experienced on a Paleo and non Paleo diet. Lorraine & Stuart are great hosts and we get to share their house. The beds are super comfortable and the showers are always hot which is a bonus when you need 3-4 a day. I arrived a fit & healthy person so, weight loss wasn’t expected. However, I have lost 1.5 kg and an amazing 2 inches off around my waist. I would recommend this retreat to everybody as each individual is looked after as an individual. The retreat is a lot of fun as well and I have has some great laughs with this week’s housemates.

Stuart and Lorraine give you a warm welcome and make you feel very at home in their spacious and comfortable retreat which is kept spotlessly clean. The three exercise sessions a day compliment each other nicely and add variety but most importantly are enjoyable and fun. You will be encouraged to push your personal boundaries but without over exercising or having to keep up with others. It was great to experience different types of exercise in a safe and encouraging environment. The food is just amazing! Lorraine is a fantastic cook and there is always plenty, you will not go hungry. Stuart and Lorraine are so knowledgeable about the paleo lifestyle and I learnt so much about how to eat healthy filling food that will satisfy you. The added bonus for me (which I was not expecting) was that I can home totally relaxed as there is such a good balance of exercise, food and rest. The other people on the retreat were great company and we all encouraged each other. My aim was to improve my fitness and Paleo knowledge both of which I achieved and also lost 6 cm around my waist. I came home feeling great and inspired. Thank you so much Stuart and Lorraine.
