Jo Sharp, owner of SharpMoves Fitness, runs Bali fitness retreats that allow individuals to maintain their health and fitness when travelling.

“Just because there is no fitness centre doesn’t mean your fitness needs to be neglected,” said Sharp. “There is no need for a treadmill when we have jungle treks at the doorstep.”
