Corrour for a second time - what an amazing experience. Almost a year since my last visit when running even a mile seemed a far off possibility, i returned four and a half stone lighter and certainly much fitter. I think this meant i could benefit from the holiday in so many different ways.
Firstly Spence, the support and guidance you have provided since the last holiday has been invaluable, Thank you. I came on this holiday to learn new exercises, improve my fitness and try and move off the recent plateau i have found myself on. Of course the group activities among the stunning scenery were great ways of having fun whilst burning calories, but i feel the real benefits were the opportunity to look more at the diet and nutrition aspects of weight loss, and definitely what i learned about the resistance sessions in the one to one and pairs activities; even in the week i felt a difference. The variety in the sessions was impressive and i believe the resistance sessions we did will be key in future weight loss. You do know what you are talking about :) Although this was my second time at Corrour i really did leave with a lot more knowledge than when i arrived. I have already tried the circuits at home and really enjoy them on the days when i don't feel like the gym! When i arrived I felt that i was going through the motions doing the same things at the gym, but now i have a vast array of options to choose from.
Aside from the weight loss, Corrour really is a picture perfect, tranquil place, an amazing place to relax and somewhere that will stay in my memory forever. It's hard to believe that only a few hours away is such a magical place.
I have learned so much on the holidays and even in 12 months my fitness has improved so much. Being a healthy weight is now in my sights and i am entering my 30's feeling healthier and fitter than i have ever been. It's so nice not to have to go straight away to the plus size part of any clothes shop, and nice to finally wear clothes that reflect my age!
Spencer, you are doing a fantastic job and it's great to meet someone that is genuinely passionate about what they do. I would recommend Corrour to anyone, whether they have a little or lot of weight to lose, whether they are returning to fitness or want to improve their fitness, you really ensure there is something for everybody.
Thank you so much,
Feedback? What can i say... the holiday was one of the best investments we have made in recent times! From the beginning it was clear that your interest in fitness and health was a genuine interest in helping people improve their fitness and other life goals. As someone returning to exercise, I used to find my lack of fitness frustrating. The holiday was a fantastic way of forgetting how unfit i currently was and looking to the possibilities for the future. Already, what a difference that week made, not just for losing a few pounds but for feeling healthier and i dare say fitter. The exercise was challenging, but never too difficult and the variety made for a fun week; the balance of group and one to one was good. Your enthusiasm and the way you tailored the activities to our abilities was spot on, and i think come sat morning we were all pretty sad to be leaving.
I know the idea is we don't come back as we now have the knowledge and skills to continue what you have helped start, but i loved the week, and hope to perhaps get one more in before the wedding!!! Your sincerity definitely made me feel relaxed when i was doing exercises that i would die before letting anyone else see me do. Lol!
We are really looking forward to the next few months to build on the programmes you have given us. It's so great to be excited about exercise once again...
Thanks so much from both of us,
