TruFit Camp Cyprus: Twice-Daily CrossFit Training & Full-Board Fitness Week in Limassol

Each day starts with a workout at the dedicated CrossFit facility, then breakfast back at Pefkos City Hotel. There's a second session later in the day, with lunch and dinner served buffet-style by the pool in between. Sports nutrition products from major manufacturers are provided before and after training, so you're not mixing your own shakes or guessing at recovery timing. Meals are clean and balanced rather than a free-for-all buffet — the point is to fuel the training, not undo it.

The training is coached by three people who run their own gyms: Kārlis Pļaviņš, head coach and manager of Urban Tribe and a CrossFit Level 1 Coach with over ten years of experience; Jānis Todavčičs, head coach and manager of Sport Factory Riga, who focuses on functional training and long-term health; and Reinis Garkalns, head coach and manager of Sporta Centers Teika, who works on functional training, boxing and coaching teenagers. Which coach leads depends on the camp date — Kārlis takes the 27 April to 4 May camp, Jānis the 12–19 October camp, and Reinis the 4–11 November camp.

One day of the week is free of training. The group agrees on where to go and works out a route together. Popular choices are Nissi Beach near Ayia Napa — white sand and clear blue water, with watercraft and catamarans for hire and beach bars along the shore — and the Avakas Gorge, a trail through cliffs that follows a small river where you'll often see mountain goats. Cape Greco has sea caves and steep rocky shores, and you can jump from a 15-metre cliff if you want the adrenaline. Other options are Aphrodite Hills, the Millomeri waterfall in the Troodos Mountains, and the Adonis Baths waterfalls, which you can swim in.

You stay at Pefkos City Hotel in Limassol. The Standard Package puts you in a double or triple share Superior Room with a private bathroom; the Private Package gives you the Superior Room to yourself, also with a private bathroom. Both come with full board and the same training programme. Airport transfers both ways are included in the price.

What separates this from a lot of fitness holidays is that the training happens in a real CrossFit facility rather than a hotel gym with a few dumbbells, and it's led by coaches who run their own boxes back home rather than freelance instructors hired for the week. The camp has been running since it started, with 275 workouts coached across 24 camps so far.

The whole thing is based in Limassol on Cyprus's south coast, which means you get sea and mountain day trips within easy reach on the rest day, and warm weather for most of the camp season. Camps are scheduled through the summer months.
