8-Day Lake District Weight Loss & Fitness Retreat

This retreat is the flagship program from FitFarms, the UK's leading provider of residential weight loss and fitness retreats. It's a scientifically proven course that has appeared on the BBC and Channel 4, and has helped the NHS with new fitness and lifestyle initiatives. Unlike a traditional fat camp or boot camp, the focus is on education and sustainable lifestyle change rather than harsh regimes.

Your day begins with a 'Wake Up Workout' before breakfast, which is scientifically shown to burn fat more effectively in a fasted state. After a nutrient-dense breakfast, you'll head out for a countryside walk through the stunning scenery of the North Pennines. The rest of the day includes workshops on burning body fat and improving your relationship with food, Pilates classes, and a mindset and wellbeing workshop. Afternoons conclude with a strength and conditioning session to build lean muscle and improve posture.

The accommodation is a magnificent Grade II Listed Manor House and Sandstone Cottage, set in peaceful ancient woodland—the perfect environment for rest and transformation. The location, on the edge of the Lake District, allows for breathtaking walks and easy access to Ullswater Lake. With all fitness levels catered for, you'll be assessed before the course and provided with a program suited to your ability, with the team always ready to adjust exercises and offer alternative options if needed.

One of the standout features is the aftercare support. You'll receive a nutrition questionnaire before you arrive, and after the retreat, a follow-up call and access to an online program with Justin Lord, a former ITV Health Guru and Celebrity Trainer. This ensures you have the tools and guidance to continue your progress long after you've gone home.
