About New You Escapes

New You Escapes is all about you.

Our Ethos

Boot Campers Waving By the Spanish Monasterio Gates

New You Escapes is introducing the new generation of health and well-being travel that specialises with a portfolio of different breaks and getaways that allow you to concentrate on you.

Since 2006 we have been specialising in purely boot camps and trading as New You Boot Camp. We have won awards and seen so many clients walk through our doors that change their lives in this time – it has been tremendous.

Over the years we have been asked by many clients to diversify and open our offerings so that we do offer yoga and fitness, hiking and yoga and total transformation holidays. Well, we have listened and we are finally launching our new holidays and have re-branded as New You Escapes.

Today's world is fast-paced, technology-driven and for some - stressful. The work hard, play hard culture is rampant but we wanted to create an escape for our clients- a sanctuary for everyone. Sometimes, just a little time out can do the trick and enable each and every one of you to replenish and rejuvenate - feeling healthy, fit and full of energy.

Investing in yourself is the most important investment in life.

Whether you are a City Worker, Professional, Mum, Home Worker or just in need of some "me time", New You Escapes is proud to offer a range of holidays throughout Spain.

Through good nutrition, gut health enhancement, fitness and just being in an environment where you are looked after we ensure that each of our beautiful clients leaves us feeling wonderful.

We look forward to welcoming you,

The New You Escapes Team.

Yusimi - Retreat Manager Spain

Certified Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer

My passion for sport and fitness is exemplar, and has given me the tools to stay focused and have a positive mindset. I truly believe that finding the right training method for each individual is the key to maintain a healthy state of mind. However, physical activity counts for only 20% of a client's outcome, therefore teaching about nutrition and helping clients build sustainable eating habits will allow them to improve their overall health. My aim is to break down and simplify what clients need to do to feel at their best and create a healthy lifestyle that they will love.

Richard - PTI

PTI

Hello! I'm Richard Simpson - a former member of the Royal Air Force, where I served as a Physical Training Instructor for 27 years. During my time in the RAF, I trained a variety of airmen, from new recruits, to officer cadets, to elite fighter pilots. I was fortunate to lead and take part in numerous expeditions in the UK and around the world. I currently work as a PT, alongside physios and massage therapists. I get a lot of job satisfaction from seeing clients improve and work towards their goals, whether these be big or small. I have been associated with New You since leaving the RAF. I enjoy meeting the variety of people who attend boot camp and helping them on their journey. Residing in Lincolnshire with my wife Mary and our two girls, I enjoy keeping fit and playing sport - especially hockey and tennis!

Jane - Yoga Instructor and Masseuse

Yoga Instructor and Masseuse

Yoga keeps inspiring me because it is such an amazing way to transform and empower yourself! I have witnessed this in both myself, and in the countless people of all ages and backgrounds that have come to my classes, courses and retreats. I have taught in Spain, Chile and England since 2002, using a base of Hatha Yoga with a variety of other Yoga and bodywork styles, depending on the group or individual and the theme we are exploring. My aim is for everyone to open, strengthen and soften their physical, mental and emotional bodies, and to have fun in the process! I took my teacher training with Sadhana in Sevilla (2000-2004), and I am currently undergoing further teacher training in Yin Yoga with Josh Summers. I have studied Chinese Medicine (with Escuela Beijing) and am also a masseuse, an art therapist and an artist.

Francisco Rodriguez

Head Chef.

I specialise in different types of cooking. My passion is to discover and teach an authentic expression in flavour, vitality and food awareness. I value and respect local products, sustainable and seasonal, but first of all, the quality of the whole food. I work in the health industry to teach people a balanced and unconventional experience. My professional career has revolved around plants and food. My great curiosity and creativity have allowed me to combine these two areas throughout my work in various projects that I have been part of. I consider myself a person with a great sense of responsibility, creative and with good capacity for teamwork and personal relationships. I have collaborated in seminars and courses for natural nutrition and vegetarian cuisine.
