What you can expect to achieve….

Inch Loss, Toning & Re-Shaping

Fitness Camp Ireland incorporates a wide range of uniquely designed female-specific resistance training methods combined with interval training to enable you to get the maximum benefit from your exercise sessions.

Interval training is proven to burn fat 9 times more efficiently than regular training. Combining this method of exercise with our intelligently applied system will transform your shape in a matter of weeks.

Participants tone-up everywhere, and weight loss response to training varies. Just as all women put on weight differently, some will also lose it in certain places faster than others. Nonetheless, the average participant loses 10-12 inches (measurements taken from chest, waist, hips, arm & thigh). Top loser to date lost 24 inches in just five weeks! Top overall loser dropped from a size 14 to a size 8 over three camps ( 3-4 months).

Results are achieved in a healthy and sustainable way, boosting your metabolism instead of lowering it.

“The camp was excellent for toning up and helping me lose my last bit of baby weight. Every class so different and enjoyable.”

- Rachel Lacy

Improved Fitness

A thorough fitness test is conducted at the beginning and end of every camp, enabling participants to see exactly how much they have progressed over the course. All aspects of fitness are assessed including the following.

  • Flexibility
  • Muscular Strength
  • Aerobic Fitness
  • Core Strength
  • Co-ordination
  • Balance

Without exception participants see improvements in every component of fitness.

Meet New People

Participants range in age from sixteen to sixty plus, and from the long-term lazy to the super fit. The unique training atmosphere at the camps is in part due to the wide variety in ages and backgrounds, but more so due to the amount of interaction between participants during different sessions.

You will find yourself working alongside new people in every class – so don’t be afraid to join up alone. There is a strong social element to the course, including prize nights and running groups – so many participants meet new friends and future training partners.

Enjoy Exercise

Every session is structured differently and includes different exercises every night, meaning you never know what to expect. The variety means you can never get bored and keeps participants highly motivated.

You will find that the classes fly by. Many exercise-haters find that they are enjoying exercise for the first time.

Health Benefits

Undertaking any new exercise programme will allow the participant to benefit from all of the well-established health benefits of exercise. These benefits include all of the following.

  • Improved energy levels
  • Improved quality of sleep
  • Reduced risk of many illnesses including cardio-vascular disease & cancers
  • Improved management of type II diabetes and other metabolic disorders

Just five weeks can make a world of difference to your over all wellbeing and happiness

Who are the camps for?

Sessions are designed to accommodate all fitness levels, and at all times participants are encouraged to work to their own ability. No matter what your fitness level starting the programme, you will be challenged and motivated.

The training is not intimidating or complex – it is simple and fast, and can be modified according to your specific requirements.

Schedule

Each session runs for an hour and the structure of the class is always different. You are advised to arrive five minutes before class, as the trainer will always begin the session brief at the scheduled start time – and it is important not to miss each session introduction.

  • Five week camp : three sessions per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
  • Six week camp : two sessions per week (Tuesday, Thursday)

Both camp programmes are equally as effective in terms of results. If you need to mix and match the days/venues you attend, it can be organised to fit around your schedule.

What is involved?

Exercise

The content is highly varied mixing aerobic work, resistance training, flexibility and core work with specially designed arm and leg toning sequences.

Every session is different and graded to suit all fitness levels. The most effective training techniques are employed to yield fast results in a safe, healthy & sustainable way.

Also Included

At registration participants will be given a Fitness Camp Ireland comprehensive Fitness & Health Guide. This includes essential information for optimising performance, extra training programmes, injury prevention advice and an overview of different training methods. The nutrition segment includes advice on meal planning, healthy eating tips, dietary behavior assessments and crucial tips on eating to promote recovery post-training.

There are regular spot prizes for participants putting in a big effort, vouchers for participants with the highest Inch Loss at the end of the camp, and social nights out organised every six weeks. Fitness Camp Ireland also facilitates the setting up of beginner jogging groups and encourages participants in entering teams into charity runs.

- Grainne Fleming

 General

“I would recommend this type of fitness class to anybody as it’s so varied in terms of exercise, the duration of the class is ideal as you get in and get everything done without feeling too exhausted. In terms of motivation its fantastic as working within a group really gets a person going” Ashling Crombie

“When I first considered joining I was worried incase I would be the biggest there and so unfit I would be laughed at, I nearly didn’t come – I am so glad I did. Working with the group motivates you to keep going. Its a big commitment to go three nights a week but you have to just decide to do it and stick with it. Its been excellent and I’ve lost a stone and 20 inches so far. Once you start you won’t stop.” Deirdre S.

“I gained a lot of extra weight during my pregnancy and for about a year after I struggled to get down to a healthy size. I seemed to reach a certain weight and then I couldn’t lose anymore. I got to a point where I hated clothes shopping or going out, and my confidence was at an all time low. I wanted to lose the weight and get fit and healthy for my child’s sake as well as my own. Then I saw the leaflet for the camp and well it changed my life really. I never thought I would enjoy doing exercise that much, but I really did as there was something different every night, and there is a lovely bunch of people working along with you also trying to reach their goals. I’ve made some good friends there and also managed to lose 31 inches over three camps, and tone up. I now have heaps more confidence and energy, and love to clothes shop and go out. I now look forward to exercise and follow a much healthier lifestyle. I would definitely recommend the camp to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life, its worth it in so many ways.”

- Michelle O’Donnell


“I would definitely recommend this camp to anyone. I found my fitness increased dramatically, I found that each class was totally different which really helps. I tend to find the gym monotonous. It is great fun too and you meet lots of new people. A must, as far as I’m concerned.” Susan Conroy

“It was an incredibly enjoyable experience and paradoxically resulted in my being energetic afterwards no matter how tired I felt beforehand. I learnt it was easier than I anticipated and it was my first time to try anything like this. I’d advise anyone to try it.” Caitlin McFadden

“ I found the classes extremely enjoyable, motivational and got me in the right frame of mind to lead a healthier lifestyle. It was a great way to meet new people as it is very interactive and in terms of weight loss I was amazed at the toning-up which I achieved.” Lynne Cobbe

 

“I had good fitness level but it was walking/running based. No variety in my exercise or challenges. The camp challenged me due to the variety of exercise, the weights in particular were very enjoyable and there was great motivation from the instructor and co-participants”. Eunice Delaney

 

“Flexibility of the class times & attendance, the variety of personalities and the activities makes sure there is always someone you are on a par with and that you can aspire to be as fit as. The instructor’s enthusiasm and professionalism made the camp something to enjoy while getting fit and socialising.” E. Horan

 

“I can’t believe the five weeks are over, I have really enjoyed it. I met a lovely group of girls and the instructor was lovely too. On an exercise level it was great. I feel more toned up, more energy and motivated. I would recommend this to all my friends.” Cecilia Higgins

 

“I found the fitness camp really got me motivated and willing to concentrate on my goal of weight loss and improving my fitness level. I found the easy going atmosphere a great help and found our instructor a great motivation – her energy and enthusiasm and help with diet plans and exercise plans a great source of help. Really enjoyable and certainly beneficial.” Naomi Rowe

“Fitness Camp is a fantastic course to get you motivated and interested in getting healthy. Its tough but manageable and you never feel as though you are out of place as regards size or level of fitness. I just finished my first six weeks and can’t wait for the next six!” Yvonne Mulhall

“Its the first time I ever looked forward to coming to an exercise class, and the first time on any programme that I didn’t lose interest on week three! It is great to be able to go at your own pace. While the instructor was very supportive and encouraging she was totally unjudgemental” M. C.
