Time to burn off that unwanted visceral fat and live the life you want...
If we know anything, it’s this: fitness is hard. Getting motivated, making time, pushing yourself, staying committed, keeping consistent, building muscle, burning fat – it’s all hard. That’s why our focus for the past 15 years has all been about informing, inspiring and helping people to become more fit, healthy, and happy one better choice at a time. And we do it all through a tailor-made approach that is designed specifically to you. Why? Because there is no one-size-fits-all solution to your health, fitness and wellness. It’s about helping you reach your goals, no matter where you are on your journey… especially when it comes to torching that visceral fat.
That’s what we do best.
Think of our best-selling fitness retreats as the ultimate playground for shedding that unwanted fat while soaking in the thrill of an invigorating escape on the coast. From calorie-burning beach hikes at sunrise to state-of-the-art technology that analyses your body composition, and world-class trainers who will guide you towards your goals, our fitness retreats are a powerhouse of body-transforming experiences – and here are 10 ways why:
1. Sunrise Hikes:
The world on our doorstep is unlike anywhere else. From the sugar sands of Heacham beach to the royal woodlands at Sandringham Estate, to the wildlife wonderland of Wild Ken Hill, our Norfolk Retreat is slap-bang in the middle of paradise, where wild horses roam. And because we set off in time to enjoy the sunrise, it’s almost-always ours to enjoy in peace. The sound of waves tickling the shore, the feel of sand underfoot, the sight of morning rays bursting through woodland canopies, our morning hikes are soul-stirring.
But they’re not just about exploring our coastline; they're about kick-starting the day with 11,000 steps done and over 1100 calories burned all before 9am. That’s because they engage multiple muscle groups while soaking in the therapeutic benefits of nature, with the soft sand and countryside terrain adding enough resistance to turn your regular hike into a fat-burning adventure.
2. Innovative Workouts:
Say goodbye to mundane routines and hello to innovative workouts. Mixing it up each and every day, the most effective way to keep your energy levels high is to make our sessions engaging and our workouts fun. So that’s exactly what we do. From cutting-edge workouts that not only keep your body guessing but also turbocharge your fat-burning potential, to group games that get your blood pumping and fat-burning, our team of trainers have devised the most complete workout program to maximise your results no matter how short your stay.
Making the most of our incredible facilities, you’ll get to enjoy sessions in our outdoor (but covered) boxing area, our cobbled courtyard, our spin room, our garden circuits zone, running track and more as you take on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions to strength-based workouts, all designed to keep you engaged while torching those calories.

3. State-of-the-Art Technology:
We might be the UKs original bootcamp, but what makes us the best is our commitment to pushing the boundaries, using the very best equipment and investing in the latest technology – and it all starts the moment you arrive and step onto our InBody 970. Combining a truly sleek design with an unrivalled amount of data, the InBody970 is the gold standard of body composition analysers, and is equipped with state-of-the-art features, such as 3MHz technology, 7 different result sheets, and age-specific evaluations, meaning we can create the most bespoke stay to maximise your results. How? Because this data-driven approach not only helps you stay accountable but also provides insights into optimising your fat-burning potential.
4. Expert Nutritional Guidance:
Imagine having a professional chef prepare each and every meal specifically for you, your goals and your dietary requirements, where each mouthful is both nutritious and delicious. That’s what the culinary side of our experience offers. Like they say: you can’t out train a bad diet, which is why everything we do starts in the kitchen.
The way we see it, fueling your fat-burning journey is paramount, and so our fitness retreats bring expert nutritionists to the table every day and every step of the way. Serving up balanced meal plans, not only will you reap the benefits of nutrient-rich foods that are personalised to you, but they will also help you to make informed choices that support your fat-burning goals long after you leave our retreats.

5. World-Class Trainers:
This right here is our secret sauce. The people behind so much of your success and the reason 86% of our clients come back again and again and again. Made up of unmatched experts in the field of health and fitness, we might refer to these legends as our “Team of Trainers”, but in reality they’re so much more. A million times more. They’re the beating heart of bootcamp life and the architects of your fitness success.
Handcrafting each client’s personalised journey, they use their positivity, motivation, world-class knowledge, decades of experience, boundless energy and unrivalled ability to achieve life-changing results to redefine what you thought possible; inspiring you to push beyond your limits to unlock your full potential. In short: they tailor our workouts to your needs, offering constant motivation, and providing the kind of guidance that will help you push past your limits to make every drop of sweat worth it.
6. Group Motivation:
Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals has this way of creating a collective energy that is contagious. Inspiring. Motivational. That’s why so much of our camps are built around the power of camaraderie where you push each other on, build one another up, laugh together, celebrate the wins big and small, and revel in the incredible vibe where everything seems attainable. That’s what our clients love more than anything: the atmosphere. The music is pumping, people are cheering, and those challenging workouts feel like a collective achievement. Trust us: you'll be amazed at how much further you can go with the power of group motivation.
7. Mind-Body Connection:
Believe it or not, fat burning isn't just about the body; it's also about the mind. That’s why our fitness retreats are as much about working up a sweat as they are incorporating mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation. From sun salutations on our rooftops overlooking the Portuguese Algarve to evening yoga sessions in front of our crackling log fire, whatever the season, we celebrate the practice of mindfulness knowing just how much they help you connect with your body, reduce stress, and create a holistic environment that's conducive to fat loss.
8. Ice Baths for Recovery:
There are ice baths and then there are our state-of-the-art Chill Tubs. Made from the highest quality materials with ergonomic comfort in mind, they are the standard-bearers when it comes to cold water therapy; a recovery technique used by athletes and individuals looking to reduce muscle soreness, improve recovery time, decrease inflammation and improve circulation. But the benefits don’t stop there because they also trigger your body to burn extra calories as a way of regulating temperature.
Think of them as an unexpected fat-burning ally that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated – and we have two of them overlooking our secluded gardens, where the skies are endless and the warm ocean air can fill your lungs as you control your breathing.
9. Functional Fitness Focus:
For those new to this term, functional fitness involves workouts and techniques that mimic real-life movements, engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously; something we have long been champions of at No1 Fitness Retreats. By emphasising functional workouts, not only are we able to boost your overall strength, but we’re also able to amp up your calorie burn as you tackle dynamic exercises.
Unlike isolated exercises, functional movements offer up a much more dynamic approach that requires your body to work harder so that every squat, twist, and lift becomes a fat-burner that propels you towards your fitness goals in the most effective way possible.
10. Strength Training:
Guess what: strength training isn't all about building muscle. It's also a secret weapon for turbocharging those fat burning goals. When you engage in resistance exercises – like lifting weights, hitting those battle ropes, flipping tyres, throwing slam balls or using resistance bands – you stimulate muscle growth. And this is where the magic happens because all this added muscle mass actually revs up your metabolism, causing your body to burn more calories even at rest.
What’s more, our strength training classes have been designed to create micro-tears in your muscles that require energy to repair them, contributing to an increased calorie burn long after your workout is done. So, whether you're deadlifting or doing bodyweight exercises, every rep you conquer will bring you closer to your fat-burning goals.
