Women's FitCamp New Forest - FAQ

Is it for me? Am I too unfit/ Too overweight?
is for all women. Women come to us for a variety of reasons - to lose weight, increase fitness and vitality or for sport specific training. Remember the programme is indidually tailored to ensure goals are met in a mutually supportive environment. Goals will be set in your 1:1 initial assessment session with a trainer.

Will the instructors shout at me?
This is not a military boot camp. Our trainers will encourage you to remain motivated. They are extremely knowledgeable and have a wealth of experience in motivating the most reluctant of clients. Remember you will be spending at least 12 hours a day with your trainers and will develop a rapport and a relationship based on trust. Within this, you will begin to push against the boundaries of your perceived physical and mental limitations.
More simply… you will simply be encouraged to try hard!

What about ‘free time’ – will I have any?
The trainers will keep you very busy. You will have time between activities to shower, change, call home etc.

Will I be hungry?
No. The food is absolutely delicious. Your nutritional needs are met as all meals supplied by Nutrichef are carefully designed with high levels of protein and fibre and optimum levels of carbohydrate. Regular snacks of fruit, nuts, seeds and the occasional squares of chocolate will also keep up energy levels.

This ensures individual attention and fosters a sense of community and camaraderie.
