Your coaches will be on hand 24/7 to help you get the most out of the experience as you train in the sun at one of the largest training centres in Europe. With everything else taken care of all you need to worry about is giving 100%.

What you can expect

You’ll be training in the gym and functional box at Playitas Resort as well as making the most of the island’s amazing weather at a variety of outdoor venues including the beach and an athletics stadium.

You don’t need to be super fit
The camp welcomes people at all stages of their fitness journey, you train as part of a team but will be working towards your own goals. The only person you will be competing with is yourself. 
Coaches Brett and Carl will assess where you are with your training and work to help you improve and train to your full potential using the techniques that work best for you.  No matter who you are you’ll get to test your limits and see what you are truly capable of.
