Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty #72

feature
training session as an opportunity to train your mind and body,
focusing on correct technique and your mental attitude. Darren
and Andrew, who possibly run the hardest physical training
sessions, also run separate sessions to focus on managing
your own fitness program once you return home, and injury
management. There’s a genuine sense of your long-term
wellbeing being the primary focus.
You’ll also have the opportunity to see the beautiful sights of
Rawai, with three hikes a week, an island trip for snorkelling, a
visit to the night market and almost night beach ‘blasts’ for a
sneaky extra pilates session or just to watch the sunset.
In between all the activities to get you physically moving,
there are plenty of sessions to focus on why you felt like
resetting in the first place. In the evenings the sessions focus
more intensely on your internal and spiritual health, from the
effect of hormones on our weight to discussions around the
effects of light on our sleep (turn off the screens in bed, people!)
to crystal bowl singing and meditation.
All of this describes roughly half the things you can get up
to and there are also cooking classes to ensure you can
replicate favourites like superfood chocolate and truffles when
you get home. But here’s the thing. Nothing is compulsory.
Even though Phuket Cleanse has grown over the past few
years, they’ve managed to keep a family atmosphere and
a feeling of a one-to-one relationship with their guests, best
evidenced by the number of guests who have become repeat
visitors. So, the always-friendly staff will encourage you to
participate in as many activities as are available, but are also
delighted to see you soaking up the rays poolside at the
main villa with a book.
If you look online it’s hard to find a bad word written about
Phuket Cleanse. A 2015 Travellers’ Choice Award Winner,
the glowing reviews are endless. Once you’ve paid for your
chosen package, it’s truly all inclusive: from airport pick-up
and drop-off; accommodation and daily laundry; your
fitness consult and program; all classes and activities; all food
and juices; four massages per week; and educational and
cooking classes.
Even the beautifully appointed rooms are specially designed
for you to get as much glorious sleep as you need, with ambient
mood lighting, block-out curtains and air-conditioning – and
not a TV in sight. csbm
