Why should I attend?
There are many reasons why you may want to attend a High Force Element Outdoor fit camp. Some of these include:
What do they involve?
Variety is the spice of life and also the best way to improve full body fitness. Exercise is not all about running as fast as you can and as far as you can. At fit camp you will experience a whole range of different ways to exercise from a dance studio, to a mountain, to a river, to a park, to the comfort of a sitting room!
Instructors are not only qualified in health and fitness but also in teaching in the great outdoors. This ensures The High Force Element Outdoor fit camp are diverse, challenging and full of opportunity to discover to the New You. Each afternoon at fit camp there will be the opportunity to engage in a specialist outdoor activity, from a canoe trip, mountain biking session, or more extreme gorge walk where the only limitation is you!
We are committed to ongoing weight loss success and to aid this, have incorporated some educational seminars into the fit camps. Nutrition and diet is a key element to the camps and key to long term weight management. We therefore, have a nutrition expert in our training team who will deliver an evening seminar and will be available for discussion and to provide individual nutritional advice.
While the fit camps are challenging, there is also plenty of time to recover, distress and focus on you. Included in our camps are unique callenetics sessions, flexibility and relaxation sessions, an individual massage, as well as a massage instruction class. As well as this we have a hot tub onsite, with lots of time to indulge and replenish those well worked muscles.
