Who is the health, fitness and weight loss holiday for?

Anyone who is looking to make a personal improvement to their lives, be that to lose weight, improve fitness, deal better with stress or just to learn a little more about living a healthier life.  
The most common reason for people coming on the holiday is to aid weight loss and build fitness and it is in this field that we have gained years of expertise both with our own experiences and later as instructors, trainers and coaches.
Why do I have to sign a confidentiality contract?

This is just a formality and we ask all guests, instructors and other staff to agree to a small number of points to ensure confidentiality before coming on our Corrour holiday.  Some of our past guests have asked for a increased level of privacy from the press etc and we are happy to accommodate this - one reason why you will not find ‘reviews’ of us in the general press.  For more information please read the ‘privacy information’ page by clicking here
What kind of results can I expect?

A very difficult question to answer to be quite honest.  All guests have lost a some weight and improved their fitness whilst they were here - we’ve had everything from 3 lbs up to over half a stone and more than one dress size (7 day holidays). The main point of our holiday though is kick start you into beginning to lose weight and build your fitness long term and this is where you will see the real results - we’ve to date had guests lose over 6 stone (click here for testimonials)  and run 10k races since joining us and implementing the changes we advised.  
We did not devise the holiday to be about dropping a dress size, but many people report a marked improvement in their appearance and a real change in their fitness and improving results continuing when they get home.
Is it just another boot camp / fat camp?

Absolutely not!  Click here to read why we think we are different. You are very likely to lose some weight and notice a marked improvement to your fitness whilst you are here, but the thinking behind our health, weight loss and fitness holiday is to equip you with the skills and knowledge that you will need to make long term - lasting changes that will benefit you when you return home.  
We pride ourselves that past guests have gone on to achieve some incredible results by following their personalised programmes and putting the skills they have learnt into practice.
Check out the testimonials to read more.
Do I need to be very fit or an outdoors type person?

No, we don’t expect people to be athletes or explorers by any means when they come on the holiday, but we do suggest you should be able to walk at a reasonable pace (2-3 mph) for at least an hour at a time. There are also other activities both indoor and out that vary in intensity, but we do tailor the holiday for the individuals and groups attending, so you’ll be more than capable of the challenges set.
If you are in any way worried, please contact us and we  will be able to advise you further.  
We can also provide you with a very simple, free training plan to follow before the holiday to help get you ready.
What other costs are there?

Nothing really, click here to see what we include. The only thing you might need to bring is change for the in house payphone, but all other costs are taken care of by us.  
However, travel to and from the venue is not included, nor is holiday insurance.  
Get in touch if you would like help with the travel, it’s far easier to get here than people think!
Will I have any time to myself?

It’s a short amount of time and we want you to get the most out of your break with us a possible.  
That said we will make sure you have time to yourself to relax and un-wind, you will hopefully still feel like you are on holiday!
What will I be doing?

A typical days activities can be found by clicking here, but as a rule it will be a mixture of indoor and outdoor training sessions, varied guided activities combined with daily workshops, seminars and one to one coaching sessions all geared to passing on as much knowledge as possible.
Will I be put on a diet?

No, its not a fat camp / boot camp and we don’t believe in diets of any kind, so you won’t be following any ‘high this’ or ‘low that’ eating plans.

We use information from the British Nutrition Foundation and the British Dietic Association and you get to choose the meals you like from a very wide selection of food provided.

We believe it is important that you learn how to cook and prepare healthy simple food and that’s why everyone chips in with the cooking.  Don’t worry if your not that great in the kitchen - we are always on hand with ideas and are happy to help - you won’t starve!
How many people will be on the holiday?

This we feel is one of the biggest difference between ourselves and other camps / farms.  
We keep the numbers to 4 to 5 (6 on a the rare occasion if someone comes with a partner), so you can be assured of a much more personal experience, with more one to one time with coaches resulting in a better understanding of the topics covered and improved results.

Non profit organisation

 

Essentially we are getting tired of people making huge amounts of money by taking advantage of people looking for help with weight loss.  We feel that by becoming a non profit organisation we are committing to work for you as an individual not just for the money.  Everyone involved in NPC is passionate about helping people with their fitness and weight loss goals and we felt a great way to go would be to lower the costs for the client whilst at the same time help fund a project set up to protect the very types of environments we run the holidays from.  Click here for more on ‘fields and trees.’

Are you a charity?

 

No, we are what is known as a social enterprise.  This type of company is also known as a ‘non-profit’ organisation.  What this means is after we have covered all our core costs all remaining profit is re-invested back into the company to further its aims.

 

We are now formally known as a private company limited by guarantee.  For more information on social enterprise click here
