Just a few of the comments we have had from our health, fitness and weight loss holidays
“I had a fantastic time! Thank you both for your help and support, I managed so much more than I thought I would! My sister and I have entered the Race for Life. I have purchased a breadmaker and so have a super packed lunch for work today (no pub food!) I have even bought boxing gloves and pads, a kickpad, resistance bands, a fit ball and (even though I hate them) push up handles! I've got my sister all excited about the two of us training and running together. I feel really good about things.
I've weighed myself and I have lost 7 lbs (although I know that's not so important) I am really happy about it!
Unfortunately I have no negative feedback for you... nothing I feel you can work on either! The house was great and the estate was truly amazing, somewhere I will remember as long as I live (hopefully I will get chance to go back at some point).
Thank you both again.”

“Hey Spencer and James, thanks for a truly amazing week away. I learnt loads and have so much more energy and a better understand of health and fitness and what I need to do to lose weight, all my clothes are lose on me or do not fit me any more which is great, now I have an excuse to go shopping can't wait to buy new clothes to go with the new me. Every one says a look really well and are amazed that i was only a way for a week and look this good, my confidence and motivation has gone up too. The house was great, very cosy and brill, the estate is the best place I've been to, truly a great place to escape to, and perfect for the Holiday. The good times i had there and the great people i met will stay with me forever and I'm glad a went, it has really inspired me to continue and lose the weight i need to lose .Also with out the great help and support you and James give me might not have done as well as i did. So thank you both very much, who knows i may be back in the summer, thanks again.“

“Lost a few lbs but can't be sure how many as hadn't weighed before I came, but comfortably 2 notches tighter on belt and could do a 3rd if standing and holding tum in (but probably not for long).
Well guys - THANK YOU! Had a fantastic time - it was exactly what I wanted and I enjoyed it all - just think what I might have done had the ankle not started playing up after the first walk!
Have been trying to think of some "constructive criticism" for you, but I really don't think there is anything I would have changed.
Next challenge is to try and keep some of the good habits up (have been to whole food shop for flour and yeast already).
Oh - and to top it all off, I saw a golden eagle on the way out - wow!’”

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,

“The holiday was terrific and I really enjoyed it. Both yourself and Andy were very motivational and I came away full of enthusiasm and looking forward to keeping the exercise going forward.
I have been talking all morning about Corrour and how fabulous the place is. Where else could you get fit and relax at the same time in such beautiful surroundings, it was a truly great experience. I cant thank you enough.”
Thanks again
UPDATE:
Six months on from my weeks holiday in June, 4 stone lighter and looking forward to a healthier & happier future (at 54 yrs) I can honestly say I am still inspired and enthusiastic to keep up the healthy eating and exercise. With the continued support I have received via email and the website I have been able to improve my stamina and overall health.On Sunday 6th Jan I climbed up Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh with plenty of energy to spare ! something I would never have envisioned 6 months ago. Thanks Spencer for giving me all the continued support. I would recommend NPC to anyone no matter what their current level of fitness is to give it a go and experience something great.

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, Lisa
