Breaks to Break You (And Make You Smile)

Boot camp ‘holidays’

Fitness

“>

Everyone needs a break, but then everyone needs a new challenge too – mental, physically, and yes, spiritual too, chaps. The rewards? Cold knackers, strained muscles, but also friendships and that elusive old thing: self-respect.

Electric shocks, cash bribes, sadistic insults – researchers have tried everything to get us to go to the gym. Unfortunately, most of people would rather bury their face in a taco. But if you’re struggling, why not sign up for a residential boot camp? Personal trainer Luke Hughes, co-founder of Origym, recommends his favourite intensive fitness camps…

01

Team Bootcamp

“If you’re looking for a military-oriented shock to the system, this is a fantastic place to start. Team Bootcamp are serious about getting you fit and you’ll be pushed to the extreme, but you’ll be well-supported. Billed as the UK’s most effective fitness boot camp holiday, it’s not for the faint-hearted.”

New You Bootcamp

“New You’s seven day Somerset boot camp holiday shows some remarkable results. The retreat focuses mainly on gut health and employs world class trainers to provide a challenging program of exercises. Nutritional classes prepare participants for life after the program.”

03

Northern Bootcamp

“The premier boot camp provider in the North of England. They promise that in just one week, they can get you to achieve results that would normally take seven weeks. They focus on adventure activities, using the rugged local terrain to test your endurance.”

04

Reboot Dorset

“It might be located in sleepy Dorset, but Reboot fitness has a huge national reputation. Rated the number one UK fitness camp on Tripadvisor, Reboot’s flagship program is their five day residential, where participants will be given tailored programs to test their limits. Expertise is second to none.”
