Having taken three years out to travel before I went to university, completing an internship and gaining some experience in a ‘proper’ work environment prior to finishing my degree was high up on the to-do-list. The thing was (and this had always been my problem), what was I actually interested in? So, after a brief deliberation, I doubtfully took to Google… ‘health’ ‘fitness’ ‘travel’ ‘internship’. Low and behold, I came across this very page, and how pleased I am that I did!

Introvert or extrovert, Type A or Type B; we all know which camp we belong to. But how many of us are aware of our fitness personality?

Wonder no more, as we share the five workout personalities and highlight which styles of exercise are best suited to each. Whether you’re an introverted Planner that favours self-focused activities on a yoga & Pilates retreat, or a risk-seeking Adventurer who loves being outdoors on an active holiday, this guide will help you find your perfect workout match.

What is Fusion Maia in Da Nang and who’s it for?

Fusion Maia Da Nang is Vietnam’s most unique, forward-thinking and individually oriented 5 star hotel. Since its launch in 2008, Fusion Maia has continuously promoted and embraced the idea of “it’s not a holiday, it’s a lifestyle.” It’s the first Vietnamese resort to offer the all-spa-inclusive concept, which means each of our guests has a minimum of 2 spa treatments per day; with the possibility of even more, depending on availability. It’s ideal for guests looking to de-stress, relax and kick start healthy eating habits with a touch of luxury and elegance. Yoga and Tai Chi are the core elements on Fusion Maia’s group class schedule and the atmosphere across the entire resort is very zen and peaceful.
