Have you ever looked around at your lifestyle of computers, remote controls, fast-food and climate-controlled offices and felt out of touch with how humans should really be living?

Well, Tara Wood founder of Wild Fitness has. After moving from her homeland of Kenya to bustling London, she felt so removed from her active lifestyle in the outdoors and eating healthy foods she was inspired to create WildFitness.

WildFitness is an all-round holiday package designed to help you realise humans, like animals thrive in their natural environment, too.

“Take an animal out of its environment and it will suffer mentally, physically and spiritually. Put an animal back into its natural environment and it will heal and thrive.

So why do we think we are any different?

Humans spent 200,000 years as ‘hunter-gatherers’ or wild humans, adapting to life on the savannah. We were tall, strong, lean, fast, agile and fertile. We did not need intervention in the form of modern chemicals or equipment to keep fit and healthy. Nature provided everything we needed,” says Wildfitness.

Wild Fitness works to help bring you closer to nature whether it’s a fitness holiday in the bush or training in a city. They run holidays through out the year in Kenya, Greece and Scotland that are designed to get you fit, healthy and active.

“People have changed shape, cut running times in half, enjoyed exercising for the first time ever and had long term injuries or digestive problems clear up,” says Tara Wood, founder.

Wild Fitness holiday locations are chosen because of their stunning wild environments, boutique accommodation, a positive attitude to natural resources and fresh organic produce. Not only are Wild Fitness destinations inspiring places to train for life or your next big adventure, but they are retreats that will help you chill out and escape from the daily grind.

Enjoy the white, sandy beaches, bright blue skies and lush vegetation of Kenya all from your own gorgeous villa or retreat to the stone cottages of Greece with its green, hillside setting, pebbled shores and relaxed atmosphere. Absolute bliss for the body!

If you can’t get away for a holiday, Wild Fitness also runs City Programs in the heart of London. They offer personal training and group training sessions in lush parks throughout the city, focusing on wild running, boxing and kettle bells, aimed to give you a fresh outlook on life and an excuse to get outdoors.
