“What previous clients have to say about our fitness boot camp courses”
We have clients from all over the country (and the world) who come to our fitness retreat for many reasons but one thing they all have in common when they leave is that they look AND feel great after their time with us. We’re proud of the people we’ve helped and continue to help…
“I had a pretty good idea of what to expect of the course from the website and it did not fail to disappoint. The PT sessions were challenging but strangely enjoyable too. There’s a little bit for everyone – whether it is long walks in the beautiful countryside or the early morning PT sessions or the fascinating nutritional and fitness advice you get. I did not think about my job once so whilst not physically relaxing it certainly distracts from the pressures of everyday life.
The Renew Fitness team are welcoming, friendly, helpful and supportive. Paul and Stuart are real gems! I never thought I would hear myself say this but it was everything I thought it would be and more. I felt so good coming home and I think I’m even a few kilos lighter! I’ve started to plan my next course with you already!” Nicole S, London
“Felt like my mind, body and soul had both a good work out and a relaxing break – best ’me’ holiday ever!” Joanne P, Bucks
“When I read about the Retreat I thought this is exactly what I was looking for, having both exercise and nutrition really interested me. I had not done any exercise for a year and struggled quite bad with food intolerances. While there, we were very well looked after and given advice on all aspects of living a healthier life. The exercise was hard for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The nutrition was an eye opener for me and I intend to take what I have learnt and put it into practice in my everyday life. I was one of the larger ladies on the retreat, which did worry me, but I was made to feel completely relaxed and was never compared with anyone else. It was a wonderful experience and I will certainly be looking to attend again.” Jayne B, Wales
“The course was simply exactly what I needed – a new perspective on exercise, nutrition and also a break from everyday stresses. Life is made relaxingly simple for you: exercise hard, eat the food prepared for you, have a treatment and sleep. It was also great to get out of my running-rut as we tried new types of training such as pre-breakfast boxing sessions. The instructors are brilliant. They have so much knowledge to share and take a genuine interest in each person’s goals and needs.” Lucinda C, London
“After months of being unmotivated I needed a kick start. Renew Fitness Retreat was perfect. I got worked really hard but also had time to chill with some really lovely people. When I got home I felt totally renewed, well worth the early mornings!”
Dawn Porter, London
“After only three and a half days of being on the course I felt a drastic difference. When I came back I was full of energy and just felt so alive, it was incredible. I was re-introduced to exercise while I was there and a lot of my misconceptions and prejudices towards it were wiped out. I absolutely loved being outdoors and could have stayed there for a good few weeks!” Reena M, Surrey
“I’ve never found anything so eye-opening and motivational than Renew Fitness. There’s a great balance of nutritional learning as well as an athletic realisation that I actually can move my muscles to places they never dreamed of going before.
Led by superb instructors, whilst given a variety that ensures you don’t lose interest, I thoroughly appreciated my time here. In fact, I never thought I could enjoy exercise so much. I expected a boot camp approach, but was pleased to see some of my evenings finished off with reflexology or Indian head massage, rather than a cold plunge pool.
It’s a must-have for anyone who fancies a polite kick up the rear, or indeed a change to the old futile methods of achieving a level of understanding in our own bodies.” Carrie Gracey, London
“I have been to a variety of ‘bootcamp’ training weekends in the past so thought I had a good idea of what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the approach taken by Renew Fitness, the PT training sessions were fun and we were given lots of advice on how to train effectively, this has saved me so much time in my busy life schedule. The nutritional information we were given was excellent as was the food, and plenty of it. The whole Renew Fitness team were excellent; they were certainly devoted to ensuring that everyone got the best from the weekend.” C Light, London
“Renew Fitness for a Renew You! Most people think that fitness camps or retreats are all about losing weight or dropping a dress size! I have to admit, I did lose weight and ‘yes’ I’m happy about this. However due to the personalised nature of the course I was given specific exercises and advice to help me strengthen my shoulder, after an injury I had suffered 2 years ago made it very weak. After just one week at Renew Fitness, my own personal trainer has noticed an increase in my strength and I am now able to exercise more freely and for longer periods of time with very little discomfort.” Jayne B, The Netherlands “I had the most amazing weekend and have not stopped buzzing since! My goal was to improve my fitness and ‘work-out smarter’ which I definitely did and have taken lots of tips away with me. The exercise was definitely challenging and pushed my boundaries, the retreat kick-started me into other more fun activities! I thought it was great how the Personal Trainers were able to tailor group sessions to each individual taking part, but the group stayed together and you worked to your own abilities.
If you are worried about feeling hungry on the course – don’t be – the food is always tasty and the knowledge that you are fueling your body with goodness is a great feeling. I know now it was habit that was making me think I needed more food and I began to listen to my body and not overload it.
The weekend programme is packed full of activities, talks, demonstrations, but relaxation is planned in too, making the weekend a body and mind refresher.
Last, but by no means least, the other women on the course were all fabulous! I had a great time getting to know everyone and whatever your reason for attending the course, it is a massive comfort to meet like-minded ladies from all over the country.
I cannot recommend the retreat enough – I got so much out of it and would definitely go again.” Jenny S, Leicester
“Who comes on our courses?”
Lots of women, for all different reasons and all levels of fitness:
- We have clients who want to lose weight sensibly and tone up whilst others need a kick-start to their exercise routine.
- Some have low self-esteem about their bodies and want to feel good about themselves again…
- …while others are suffering from stress and need to detox and de-stress with a healthy holiday.
- We’ve helped mums on our courses who would like to lose weight post-pregnancy in a sensible way and also to have some much needed time for themselves.
- Some women come to us to prepare for their wedding day making sure they look the best they can and others want to look fab in their bikini!
- Similarly, joining our courses after Christmas and for the detox period is also a popular time for clients to join us.
Our courses are suitable for those who want to start introducing exercise into their lives to those who are already fit and need a challenge or to detox. Hereford is a great location for a healthy holiday and is one of the nicest ‘staycation’ holiday destinations in England.
Whatever the reason, our team will make sure you achieve your health, fitness and weight loss goals and have fun at the same time!
