``I was 37 when the numbers on the scale started going up, even though I wasn't doing anything differently. It was then that I realised that I DID need to do things differently. After 5 years of training with Iain, all I can say is - if you're committed to achieving your health and weight goals and serious motivation delivered in a pleasant package is what you're after, Iain is the guy for you.``

``In life our ‘health balance’ can be tipped and this is where I personally think a trip solely for yourself is so essential, not just for your body but mind too. I have been lucky to travel to many retreats all over the world and have reaped the rewards that come with just having time for myself. Being alcohol free, eating healthily and working out to a level I didn’t think was possible, whilst making new friends with like minded people, and experiencing a fantastic time left me feeling totally balanced at the end of it.``
We have captured that here at Crossbow with this varied program that incorporates our wonderful Island. Working out has never been so much fun, with beginner levels to intermediate+, this trip is for you (everyone)!
I look forward to welcoming you to our boutique villa

“I started working out with Iain 10 years ago after I had major knee surgery. The main focus at the time was to rehabilitate my knee so that I could play tennis again. We worked hard together and thankfully I was able to resume tennis. Once I returned to the tennis court I continued to work out with Iain twice a week and have recommended him to many people. He is dedicated and committed to his clients and is always able to adjust my workouts to suit what my body needs at the time. I would highly recommend him to train anyone of any age and any fitness level.”
Marie-Ann GonsalvesTrained by Iain Watson
“I attended the retreat and was blown away by the beautiful setting , what better way of exercising than with a tropical breeze to cool you and a stunning view of the turquoise sea. The Instructors were informative and managed to attend to individual needs helping with technique and motivation, and encouraged you to push yourself a little it more in a way that made you believe you could do it! All of the equipment was good quality and there was plenty of different pieces of equipment to use so you never got bored and there was always a new challenge. The food was delicious and dinnertime was fun when we could all discuss and laugh athow we had done that day.”

“Wow! What an amazing experience I have just had at the Crossbow retreat! This top end fitness retreat had plenty of activities to keep me in shape including personalised training, Pilates, and swimming in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. At first I was a bit nervous as I was traveling on my own but I needn't have worried as I was warmly welcomed and taken to a lovely private room with direct access to the gardens, pool and jacuzzi. My goal was to detox and lose a bit of weight and to relax. The team made it easy with a daily regime of exercise and a tasty controlled diet after which I was delighted to discover I had lost 5lbs in weight, I will definitely be back”
Annie
“When I started to train with Iain 2 years ago I had a bit of weight to lose but more importantly I needed to improve my fitness level. I have found Iain to be meticulous about form and safety. The workouts are tailored to what is needed in the moment – challenging without being overwhelming. My overall strength and fitness level is hugely improved and I am very pleased with my progress. Iain has proved to be dedicated and engaging and an excellent motivator. Without hesitation I recommend Iain to anyone regardless of fitness level.”
Elizabeth LewisTrained By Iain Watson
“Iain has been training my husband Gary and I for going on twenty years. He has kept our workouts interesting and stimulating, has ensured that he is always aware of injuries or pain and tailored the workouts to suit. We have more than reached our goals thanks to him, which is why we continue to train as he keeps us healthy and strong. He has seen us through many things, including our half marathon in Paris, and we would not be where we are without him. I have and continue to recommend him to anyone who wants a trainer who is actually interested in their well being and health, not solely their fitness level.”

“...After a wonderful healthy lunch, we relaxed around the pool and then met Lee Ann the Pilates instructor. Just like Ian, she was friendly, patient and made sure everyone was comfortable with what they were doing. After a shower and change we met for dinner. Prepared by a good chef, it was a delight. I ate fish and many vegetables that I had never tasted before. Enjoyed every mouthful. To sum up, it was a wonderful experience that I would certainly repeat. Bobbie, the host looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble.”

“This is the perfect place to de-stress, relax and reflect.... whilst taking part in a huge range of activities. What an absolutely beautiful setting and wonderful host. It has all the home comforts and much more. Pure luxury. After a day of full on energy it was lovely to relax around the pool and chat to other guests. The chef is amazing, food delicious and varied. The trainers work to everyone’s ability , I was pushed just enough to get me out of my comfort zone... and then a little more. Thanks Lee-Ann & (can’t remember his name). I cannot recommend it enough, whatever your ability, I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to return in January.”
