IS THIS FOR ME?
Training Camp is for everyone willing to push themselves and enter a competitive environment. All levels of fitness are welcome. You do not need to have entered a competition in the past, or have one planned in the future.
Mindset is a key part of training. If you think your mindset is keeping you from reaching your goals, this weekend can help: you will be able to discuss where you got stuck mentally and physically in the workouts and get pointers on moving forward.
We will share a beautiful beachside house for the weekend. Join us for a team experience - enjoying meal times together and sharing communal spaces.
WHAT TO EXPECT
TRAIN
Over the weekend you will work on all the skills that regularly come up in functional fitness competitions and then practise those skills under fatigue in workouts. We will train at CrossFit Pi in Woodbury, a large and friendly gym with all the equipment you could ask for.
play
We believe in the magic of spending time with a small group of like-minded people away from our routine environment. To share stories, play games, laugh together and enjoy the moment. With good food, good spirits and fireside games, you will leave refreshed, recharged, with fun memories and stronger friendships.
RECOVER
We’re located a stone’s throw from Exmouth beach, a stunning 2-mile stretch of golden sand where we can walk, swim, play games and breathe fresh seaside air. Our accommodation also has a seasonally heated outdoor pool and a hot tub perfect for recovery after working out.
ACCOMMODATION
We will be staying at the stunning Beach House in Exmouth, a short walk away from Exmouth beach.
We have a mix of double and twin bedrooms, some of them ensuite, and you can book your own or share it with a friend or partner.
With expansive gardens, open space for debriefing the day, a pool for morning lengths and a bubbling hot tub to unwind, the home has everything you need to support your training.
MEALS
Fuelling up with nutritious meals is key when you’re prepping to be your strongest self.
A large buffet-style breakfast will be laid out for you every morning. We will have packed lunches and snacks to eat at the gym and on Sunday we’ll have lunch together at a local gastropub. All dinners will be at home, where chef Harriet will prepare delicious veg-packed, protein-rich meals.
All meals and snacks are included in the price, however we will ask you to cover any drinks at the pub.

Words from our guests
★★★★★
“When I came to camp I said one of my main goals was to get comfortable with the assault runner, which I’d never used before… Fast forward a month after the retreat and I’ve just completed a Driathlon, running on the assault runner in the final 2hr leg of the 6hr competition”
★★★★★
“It was my first fitness retreat experience and it was a great trip! The coaching and training session were the highlights but also having the opportunity to be outside and explore Devon was truly unique. Highly recommended!”
★★★★★
“I have come away with so many achievements, more than I thought were possible! Aoife was absolutely fantastic in her preparation and there was always a skill or something for people to work on depending on their specific goals”
