Military-Style Boot Camp & Weight Loss Retreats in Norfolk, Algarve, St Tropez & Marrakesh

No1 Boot Camp has been running weight loss and fitness retreats for years, with thousands of clients passing through. The retreats share one training standard across all four destinations, so whether you go to Norfolk or Marrakesh you get the same instruction and the same approach to nutrition. What changes is the location, the accommodation and your budget.

The Norfolk retreat is the original UK base and has hosted thousands of clients, including celebrities, over the years. It combines group training with nutrition coaching and uses technology to track body composition. It's the friendliest of the options and the one most people start with.

The Algarve retreat is based at an exclusive art deco boutique hotel a short drive from Faro airport, surrounded by the Quinta do Lago coastline. Training happens at The Campus, a facility used by elite athletes and professional sports teams.

St Tropez is the bestselling luxury fitness holiday. Guests stay at the Mandal Hotel, train poolside and beachside as well as in the gym, hike at sunrise along the Mediterranean, and eat sunset dinners on the rooftop terrace.

Marrakesh is the newest option — a fitness and body overhaul in a luxury villa, with sunshine alongside the training. New dates are still being released for this one.

Across every location, the daily structure is similar: early training, meals cooked to a set nutrition plan, more training, and education sessions. Chief Instructor Gee Leary, an ex-Royal Marine, runs the training programme and makes sure each guest works safely within their own limits while still being pushed. You'll meet people returning from injury, new mums getting back into fitness, gym regulars chasing new strength targets, and athletes looking for a challenge — all training in the same group.
