Be alert, but not alarmed, good people of Brisbane: A-list celebrity trainer Luke Zocchi is coming to W Brisbane for a fitness retreat this October.

Over the three days, from 18-21 October, guests can pick up fitness tips and workout advice from the best in the business – whiles still celebrating the weekend with cocktails, great food and local experiences too. The Urban FUEL weekend’s motto (‘detox. retox. repeat’), tells us there’ll be more to this fitness bender than burpies and squats.

Enticing in food lovers too, Three Blue Ducks chef Andy Allen will host a cooking class during the retreat – as well as a welcome cocktail party and a long table dinner.

Between the high-energy workouts, there’ll also be wellness workshops and local nature adventures. And, the AWAY Spa and WET Deck will be available to guests during their stay. Trying kayaking down the Brisbane River on the Saturday morning, and, on Sunday, take a bushland hike on Mount Coot-tha’s trails. Then, rock climb up the face of the Kangaroo Point cliffs.

Known for being the trainer behind Chris Hemsworth’s body, Luke Zocchi will be teaching two HIIT workouts, presenting a lunchtime cooking demo from his fitness plan and, to keep things measured, hosting a sunset cocktail session on the W’s WET Deck to end the weekend.

And, in case this isn’t enough for one weekend, the Urban FUEL weekend will see a schedule of classes, from Pilates and yoga and Boxing, InspireCycle and training with Jake Harrison available. Sugars dropping between meals? 24-hour access to refreshments in the ‘Chill-Out Lounge’ will be readied for your every whim.

Prices for the three-night FUEL Weekend start at $1685 AUD per person for single rooms and $1310 AUD per person for double rooms (both with river views). Daily buffet breakfast is included, as a ‘swag bag’ of items to keep guests fueled .
