Northern Bootcamp

Fantastic experience: 7 day boot camp. Lovely people. Fabulous food. Top notch accommodation. They will push you to succeed but only to your personal limit. Exactly what I hoped for. Thank you Caroline and Dan

Fantastic experience: Great location very close to Bamburgh. A comfortable relaxing place to stay. Caroline, Dan & Billy were all welcoming (along with Gunner the lab & Reggie the Dachshund). They were very helpful & made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely go back.

Fantastic experience: Great place to stay billy was very welcoming and we met Reggie the sausage dog and the chicken . Peaceful and relaxing.

Fantastic experience: A fitness & adventure experience in nature, in the farming landscape of Northumberland & adjacent coastline, with miles of soft sandy beach front. Excellent exercise & nutrition tuition, & all comfort needs met. A range of different fitness levels & ages. Great stories & fun across participants, connections formed along along the way, in sweaty moments, around the breakfast/dinner table, or in the hot tub soak at the end of the day. Hill runs, beach runs, abseiling, weightlifting, boxing, hiking, body boarding in North Sea (with wetsuits), & so much more. Nature & adventure at the centre of it all. Beautiful hosting by the Northern Bootcamp crew. Nourished by tasty plates of food, & a real sense of being cared for. Increased fitness & a sense of connection, motivation & well being on the other side. This was my second visit, and I hope to return. A magic experience.

Fantastic experience: Absolute joy to be at such a superb, loving, professional company/family. Facilities are great, the area is amazing, the work is hard but the results are definitely worth it. The food is eye opening. It's positively changed the way I eat for the better. The staff are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Fab place would always go back

Fantastic experience: If you're thinking of going to Bootcamp do not delay. I've just come back from a week and I can honestly say it was a week I'll never forget. It's not an exaggeration when the reviews say it's transformational! I arrived home and my partner gasped that I looked like I'd had a complete makeover as did a friend. I lost 4 kgs and feel so much fitter and stronger. The knowledge that Dan and Caroline bring to the camp is amazing, they cannot inspire you enough. Carla, the chef is awesome cooking very tasty meals and snacks throughout the week. I met a beautiful group of people who were all there for the same reason to kick start their health and fitness. I don't even know where to start about the variety of activities and classes that I managed to take part it. They were awesome and I even overcome my fear of going under the water by jumping in the sea while wearing a wetsuit and bodyboarding which was incredible! I felt on top of the world when Caroline the owner said I was now a runner.... another activity we done on the green outside Bamburgh Castle. There's no words or expressions that can really do the experience I had justice so I'm just asking you to give it a go and believe me you'll not regret a second! The accommodation was outstanding, the staff, Richy, Billy, Carla the Chef,Tony the Masseuse, and obviously the owners Dan and Caroline outstanding! One of the best weeks of my life! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Such a great place and experience to really kick start your health and fitness journey. Will be returning soon, Caroline and the team are excellent. I would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Have been for a few bootcamps now and they are always excellent! The trainers are superb and passionate about what they do - they design an excellent mix of workouts aimed at all abilites that include cardio, strength, circuits. Most of the workouts are outside - and given the surroundings are beautiful this makes a difference! The afternoons are spent outside doing a variety of outdoor activities - using the sea, the beaches, the woods... all afternoon activies are optional but they are fun and everyone is super encouraging! The food is delicious too! Overall, it's a really fantastic week.

Fantastic experience: Life changing

Fantastic experience: Just did a 7 day boot camp was totally transformational! Really recommend for anyone looking to get back into fitness and change their habits. The food and staff were great. You also get lots of time on beautiful beaches and trying new activities which made it feel more like a holiday than a classic boot camp.

Fantastic experience: I am a middle aged executive, with classic health issues attributed to a sedentary, businessman and busy lifestyle. I was over weight, lethargic and the most unfit I have been in my life. I had little choice but to impose my own shock to the system before nature did it for me. So, jumping in with both feet, I signed up to Northern Bootcamp. The accommodation is first rate, and the showers are of the type you just don't want to get out of. The coaches very quickly become friends, with a genuine interest in your health and overall well being. There is a warm, homely and safe feel about the whole place. Before you know it you are wandering around in slippers and PJs. The training is very well thought out, able to adjust to whatever level of fitness you have and most importantly without showing you up or making you feel insecure about yourself, irrespective of how competitive you are. The programme is flexible and adapts to the weather and the general mood of the group or individuals. I never felt left out or awkward. The training does deliver results , personally I saw a significant improvement in overall fitness and flexibility, and more quantitatively, I saw muscle grown and fat loss, with my body shape visibly changing in 7 days. The training is not your typical gym class, it combines a variety of activities that are simply fun, a lot of fun. The afternoons were normally outdoor, active adventures sometimes paddle boarding, abseiling or coastal walks along the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in the UK! The food is akin to what you would get served in a top London restaurant, only with a lot more thought as to it nutritional value. You will not go hungry and you will never feel that there is any calorie counting going on. By day two or three there was a real sense on family, a group of strangers, with common goals and values working together, supporting each other, laughing and sharing a real adventure. The whole experience feels safe, despite you pushing your limits and asserting yourself in a way that will surprise you. It has now been a week since I left the Camp, and the weight continues to drop off, I have learnt new techniques to train, eat and stay motivated, but above all I feel young! Without wanting to sound too dramatic, NBC has change my life, and I now look forward to more adventures with friends and family, better fitting clothes, clearer focus, and longer health.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this place enough! NBC is a fantastic place to reset, exercise and eat delicious and healthy food. All the exercises can be tailored to whatever your capability or if you have any precious injuries and you can push yourself as hard as you want. The staff practice what they preach and will do the exercises you do in their own time as well. In the afternoons you will do a fun activity which is always good fun and can be climbing, abseiling, coasteering, bodyboarding and many others. If you didn't want to do that then you can always go for a walk wherever they are doing it which has amazing scenery. There are exercises done on the beach and the green around bamburgh castle which is an amazing view when you're working hard. You get out of it as much as you want to put in! The food is amazing, not only nutritious but so tasty. They make lots of amazing food which you can get in the recipe book or they can share the recipe as well. They are amazing at being able to cater to everyone's different needs and it is all locally sourced meats and carefully thought out to cater to what you need to be able to do the activities

Fantastic experience: Best. Bootcamp. Ever. This place is something special. I’ve been to a lot of bootcamps over the years and this one is truly outstanding. The team is superb and they offer very personal customer service. The groups are small so they get to know everyone and nothing is too much trouble. The owners, Dan and Caroline are clearly talented and passionate about what they do and that shines through in the experience you have. Banburgh and the surrounding area is simply breathtaking. The regime at the bootcamp is really varied and I don’t think there is any other Bootcamp that offers the wide range of outdoor pursuits that you undertake. Snorkelling, rock climbing, canoeing - this bootcamp makes keeping fit fun. The accommodation is excellent and is as described on the website. And the food is exquisite and Carla, the chef, is an inspiration when it comes to food preparation. The portions are carefully chosen to ensure weight loss so don’t expect to huge amounts … unless you pre-arrange. This place rocks. I loved it, lost weight and feel inspired to continue with a healthy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant

Fantastic experience: A wonderful location and fantastic people. The bootcamp was a brilliant taste of all sorts of exercise, food and lifestyle. Encouraging and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: Once you do this bootcamp once, you will most certainly come back again! I have been there 5 times so far and loved it everytime. I usually now book my next visit for the following year while I'm still on camp! And I'm certainly not the only one. I meet many bootcampers who also came back many times over the years! Caroline and Dan are so welcoming and care so much about each and every little details. They really pour their heart and soul into each bootcamp. Carla comes up with the most amazing food, and all the other trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful. The sessions are always varied but there are some bootcamp "classics" that I always look forward to doing it. No matter what your fitness level is, you will be catered for, and also pushed to your limits to achieve much more than you thought you could do! I've personally been there while I was doing zero exercise back home after an operation, and also went there while active and training 3-4 times a week. Both times I was pushed to new limits and achieved so much while having alot of fun. I always leave bootcamp with a heavy heart but a renewed body and soul..I call it the MOT for humans! And I can't wait to go back again next year.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant Bootcamp Northern Bootcamp is simply outstanding. The team are terrific and they make the whole experience great fun. Whether you are there for weight loss, fitness or a combination of both, and whatever level you are at, this bootcamp works! The location is beautiful and the sessions are hugely varied. It is very well organised and the team are highly knowledgeable. The food is delicious and the accommodation excellent. What more can I say... I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: 4 day bootcamp was fab from start to finish. Warm informative welcome. I had a full timetable of various sessions in some amazing settings(you cant beat a morning fitness session under Bamburgh Castle) as well as the hard work exercising I also enjoyed abseiling and onto paddle boarding at Beadnell bay. I found the 4 days challenging, tiring, hard work, it took me out of my comfort zone. I loved it!! Thank you Northern Bootcamp I achieved everything that I wanted to. I will be back!

Fantastic experience: Dan and Caroline run the most professional training camp in the most beautiful landscape. All the trainers ensure that you get the most out of the exercises by ensuring relevant warm-ups and stretches focussed on the muscle groups or activities undertaken. They also focus on teaching and coaching the correct technique - including how to run! By doing this, their sessions are 100% quality and there is no ‘wasted’ time. Generally, the day consists of 4 sessions in the morning, an afternoon group activity and a short ab, glute, foam roller or stretch class - you learn so much! One of the morning sessions is a talk or seminar on nutrition, exercise sessions and a dedicated 1-1 with a personal trainer. The food is carefully prepared by Carla, varied, delicious and in just the right portions. You are allowed one coffee in the morning and the only condiment is chilli flakes! It’s funny how quickly you get used to not throwing salt over everything... As well as resetting your body, the positive vibe and friendliness helps benefit the mind and anyone looking to jump start their lives with a physical and mental shockwave, this is the place for you! 100%

Fantastic experience: Completed my first boot camp in January 2020 and got exactly the physical and mental boost I needed - I wholeheartedly recommend it. Northern Bootcamp exceeded my expectations (usually a meaningless phrase but completely true in this instance) - it was tough, fun, friendly, challenging and inspiring, and has given me the tools and enthusiasm I was looking for to continue my weight loss/fitness journey at home. I found the group environment very helpful, as we all encouraged each other, the nutritional information and advice was particularly helpful and the workouts were as fun as they can be (I’m not a fan of exercise!). The afternoon activities were amazing and tailored to the group and the weather - it was great to be doing something different every day - bodyboarding (in the North Sea in January....an unforgettable and surprisingly enjoyable experience), canoeing, hiking, rock-climbing and abseiling.... The food was sufficient and tasty and the accommodation lovely. I was surprised at how much weight I lost and could feel myself getting fitter by the day. If you are thinking of doing a boot, got it booked, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: I attended a 2 day camp in January 2020. It totally blew every expectation of what I would get from the experience out of the water. Not only is it great for the body, it’s also amazing for the mind!!!! Being fully occupied with no space to think about the worries and stresses of every day life is something everyone should do. I am amazed by how fantastic I feel as a result. With expert support, Caroline gave me the confidence to run again as I suffered an injury last year which knocked my confidence. I can’t thank the bootcamp team enough. I am working on booking another camp as I type!!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience, I went for 2 days came back and signed up for a week. Everyone so friendly, no problem if you are there in your own. Also caters for all fitness abilities. I do a fair bit of exercise but was pushed and gained so much from it. No matter where you are on your fitness journey this is the place for you. Can’t wait to go back, still buzzing!!! Accommodation and food also lovely!

Fantastic experience: I took part in a week long bootcamp in September. If you are currently reading this and on the fence as to whether you will book or not then I can tell you that it is totally worth the commitment. The team here are knowledgeable, supportive, and have put together a program that not only gives you results for weight loss and strength gain but create good practices for you to leave and continue a healthier lifestyle. I lost 11 pounds during 1 week, leaving feeling stronger and healthier. And since then I have lost a further 10 pounds following their training and eating advice. The facilities are very good, the food provided excellent, and the team working at Northern Bootcamp are brilliant. Whilst it is tough going, it is fun and I hope to be able to take part in another course at some point!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just spent the best week training, and learning about my nutritional content. This place is amazing you will get so much from it. Your fitness levels will rise, your taste buds will be reinvigorated the food is delicious. The accommodation and the surrounding scenery is awesome. The knowledge you will gain will stay with you always. You’ll be able to take home with you new training habits, and nutritional values. Dan, Caroline, Chris, Bruce, and the 2 wonderful chefs Anna, and Carla will definitely look after you nothing is too much trouble. Just book with these guys it will be one of your best investments ever.

Fantastic experience: Very good, nice staff, lost so much weight and gained some educational info in regards to a healthy diet plan and exercise routine.

Fantastic experience: Northern Bootcamp provides an enjoyable, challenging, and informative environment to achieve individual weight loss/fitness goals. Sharing the experience with a great group and all achieving amazing results made for a very memorable week :-)

Fantastic experience: I was part of the class of September 13th, great group who were all really positive and worked hard. The whole experience was brilliant, the trainers are knowledgeable and committed to helping you get the best out of your camp. The food was fantastic too and I was never, ever hungry. Buy the recipe book, I love it and have just had a banana cookie I made. For me as a formerly fit lady in my fifties who had actually convinced myself to accept that my age was a barrier, it has been the catalyst to restoring my confidence and self belief. Go for it!

Fantastic experience: I decided to try the Northern Bootcamp on recommendation from my sister. It was truly all she had said it would be. Hard work, interesting, set in a beautiful part of the country and amazing results. I relished it allh during my stay. It certainly recharcharges your batteries and more. I for one look forward to booking my next stay. I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic week with the team at Northern Bootcamp. A really supportive environment to achieve fitness and weight loss goals filled with variety and adventure. Accommodation is lovely and the food is delicious, heading home with the cook book under my skinnier arm!

Fantastic experience: Une expérience extraordinaire tant sur le plan sportif que humain. Les entraînements et les activités sont variés, ludiques et très bien encadrés. Les instructeurs savent vous pousser pour vous depasser et vous accompagnent à chaque étape de votre progression. Le cadre et les paysages sont époustouflants. La nourriture de Carla est excellente et variée. Une opportunité unique pour se remettre en forme, perde quelques kg et booster sa confiance et son moral.

Fantastic experience: Really amazing week! as an overweight 50 something unfit woman - it is the 2nd time I’ve been! The instructors are just brilliant and encourage but don’t “push” you too hard if you don’t want that! They are so knowledgeable and will happily adapt any exercise to accommodate anyone! The food is amazing all balanced for you healthy and filling! Came away having achieved far more than I could ever have dreamed of! Will be going back again next year for another “boost” - if anyone is thinking about going to Northern Bootcamp do it !! - you will not regret the decision and you will come away feeling so much fitter and healthier and will have made many lovely friends and memories!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic first time and it wont be the last! Beautiful location with an encouraging and supportive team. As well as feeling fitter and more energised, I did activities I never have before. I felt safe and supported every step of the way..

Fantastic experience: I am currently waiting for my train home after my third bootcamp with Northern Bootcamp and already planning my fourth! From the warm welcome, all the way through the motivating exercise, fun afternoon activities and delicious food this place is amazing - hence I keep coming back! The house is fab, nice communal kitchen and lounge, outdoor space, exercise facilities right there and a comfy bed to collapse into after a hard but fun day! Lastly and by no means least - the amazing owners, Caroline and Dan, and their equally fab staff - chefs and trainers alike - are all welcoming, friendly, motivating and supportive - but encouraging enough to make sure you push yourself and get fantastic results!

Fantastic experience: My name is Nigel I am 54 years of age and was 20 stones when I arrived at Northern Bootcamp. I came not because I like excercise, I don't. I came because I wanted to be healthier and live a bit longer. The onwers and staff are great and passionate about health. They don't shout like maniacs they do though encourage you from 07:15 hrs until 17:30 when the last session ends. The food is terrific, I never felt hungry. The accomadation (I had a single and en suite room), was lovely and comfortable. I lost over a stone in weight but more importantly I feel more mobile and confident. I would recommend this camp to everyone, it was tough for a fat lad but so worthwhile.

Fantastic experience: Just back from my second Northern Bootcamp, achieved another set of stunning results whilst having a thoroughly enjoyable time. If you are looking for some motivation to either start getting a bit fitter and leaner or if you want to increase your fitness level, this is a no brainer. Regardless of your abilities, you can’t beat the support and guidance given by the quality Northern Bootcamp team.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough , went for 4 days , not exercised in over 20 years and they encouraged and motivated me all the way , the teams knowledge is second to none , food was amazing and didn’t feel hungry once , managed to lose 6.5lbs and 12 inches in total , it has also spurred me on to join a gym when I got back home , something I thought I would never do

Fantastic experience: We chose to join Northern Bootcamp abroad in Portugal for an alternative holiday. The weather was awesome, as were the variety of activities and of course, our trainers Caroline, Dan and Hetty. There was mixed ability within the group but they made sure everyone got the most out of every session. Their energy and enthusiasm encouraged everyone to push their limits and keep going when it got tough! Huge thanks also goes to Leanne for answering all our questions prior to booking, Carla the master chef for keeping us fed and Keith for driving us around all week! I’d recommend this bootcamp to everyone, if I can do it, so can you! Don’t be shy, give it a go and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve!

Fantastic experience: I recently attended the bootcamp Portugal as my first ever bootcamp and I can honestly say I loved every minute ! I knew no one before I started and after a week I now have some unforgettable memories, some amazing friends and a new outlook on life, fitness and food. I can't thank these guys enough for the experience - so we'll organized, caters completely for your needs and the best value for money I found. I will definitely be booking another camo very soon and would recommend northern bootcamp to anyone in a heartbeat. I can't even say any downsides because there really weren't any. If you're considering them, please just book it, you won't regret it !

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team who genuinely care about overall health rather than just results. Focus on fun activities in the afternoon was better than any Bootcamp I’ve been to before and the food was also the best. Will be back again for sure

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place great staff with great attitudes!!

Fantastic experience: I have been to Northern Bootcamp 6 times now. I love every moment of it. The trainers know when/how to push you making sure you get the best out of every session. The mixture of activities means there is something for everyone. The food is amazing. On one of my bootcamps I was there for my birthday and they made sure I had my favourite bootcamp meals. It really feels like family to me. I also met my partner there and we can't wait to be back again in January. Thank you all so much :)

Fantastic experience: Not just an amazing place, fantastic food, the activities, the instruction, the motivation, the people, really... they have got it all... just right. Can not recommend it highly enough, I just hope they realise, how much they give, and also how much they change people’s life’s.... they give you every tool, be blessed to use it to your full advantage, if you go.

Fantastic experience: This is now my second time at Northern Bootcamp and it has been an amazing experience, it can also be life changing for some, myself included. Many people come to the camp to lose weight and challenge themselves to get fitter, but you actually leave with so much more than that. I have depression and was already reasonably fit, but I came away from the camp feeling fantastic both physically and mentally. Some of the really positive things I'd like to say about the camp are: Expert and inspirational trainers who want you to succeed, interesting and varied workouts, very good and nutritious food which helps to fuel your workouts. Plenty of adventure style activity, it’s not all about exercise, it’s also about keeping moving and challenging yourself. At bootcamp you will get fitter, lose weight, challenge yourself, learn lots about exercise/nutrition/sleep from the trainers, you will surprise yourself and you will have a LOT of fun, socialise and make new friends.

Fantastic experience: Had a fabulous week. Great variety of activities, brilliant food. Left on a total high ready to book again. Just DO IT!

Fantastic experience: Great bootcamp. 3rd visit and have booked to go back again!

Fantastic experience: I first went to Northern bootcamp in 2014 and have been back 4 times over the last 5 years with a 5th camp booked for next summer!! I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Caz and Dan put so much time, effort, heart and soul into this place and that carries through the other instructors and staff too!! Everyone just wants you to get the absolute most and best experience out of ur time there and take some ‘golden nuggets’ away to help you continue what you’ve achieved in the real world!! Every camp is different and I love the fact that it’s such a great variety of ‘traditional’ excercise, fun, games, outings and then the outdoor activities(my personal fave!!). Just do it, you absolutely won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: This was my 6th year in a row visiting Northern Bootcamp for a week. Cannot recommend it enough, very high quality training, food, and accommodation and a sense of personal care from Dan and Caroline.

Fantastic experience: One year ago, I was at my first Northern Bootcamp. And it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. All my questions up front were answered by the operations manager, she also helped me with the booking and gave me a good feeling to do this. Still I was very nervous on our arriving day, but the team made me feel welcome from the beginning. Throughout the week we had a wide variety of different sessions, exercises and classes and I loved the outdoor activities in the afternoons. As well we got tasteful, well-balanced, healthy food and snacks served by the wonderful kitchen staff. To be honest this first week was extremely hard for me, for my body, and sometimes I didn’t know how to get through it, but the team was very supportive, they really believed in me and helped me to do it, and I did achieve much more than I would have ever thought that I’d be able of. And the team does really care for their clients. I had a lot of fun and pleasure working out with the other campers and everyone was so supportive. Also, we got a lot of useful information about training, food and ideas how to go on at home. For me this week was a real start for a change, not only the weight loss (I’ve lost about 5 stones since last summer) but what counts much more for me, is that I’m much fitter and I’m living a much more energetic and active life since camp. Because I loved it so much I have joined two other Northern Bootcamps and it was amazing to see the progress since the first one. On this way, I also want to send a huge thank you to the whole team, you are all amazing people, who helped me change my life and made me believe in myself again. So, everyone who isn’t sure if they should attend a Northern Bootcamp, I can only advice you: just do it! I bet you will love it too and you will achieve much more than you’d think. And it doesn’t matter how fit or unfit you are or for what reasons you want to do it; the sessions are designed for every level and everyone will work on their own suitable level. Just go for it. I’m already looking forward to the next camp.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, amazing location.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just finished a 7 day bootcamp with Northern bootcamp, it has been the best experience of my life. I’ve lost 6.5lbs in 7days 16cm around my body and feel incredible. It’s based around fitness, healthy eating, outdoor activities, nutrition and sleep talks....just an all over improvement of your well being. It’s 40mins on the train from Edinburgh and I will definitely be doing it again.

Fantastic experience: Loved the whole bootcamp experience. Great staff, stunning location and accomodation. Delicious food. Most of all though, I found more confidence to push myself further and more determination to succeed. Thanks to all the trainers...see you in Portugal!

Fantastic experience: Excellent value for money, suitable for all levels of fitness. I came back inspired and ready to improve my eating habits and take my fitness to the next level. Already booked to go back!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Spent a week here at beginning of June and loved it. Worked hard and gained excellent results as well as a new attitude to healthy living. Met some amazing people and learnt many new skills on the activities undertaken. Will definitely be returning

Fantastic experience: Having spent a fabulous week at Boot camp, I can definitely recommend attending. I was a bit dubious as I wasn’t too sure if it would consist of a lot of ‘hard shouting, and military style push, but this was not the case. The instructors encouraged and pushed you through your barriers, ensuring that you leave with a very positive mind and fitter body. I will be returning as I enjoyed both the classes and the activities, and I made a fabulous group of friends. I view this break, as rewarding my body and mind, and remind myself we all need a break and to concentrate and focus just on ourselves. When I left boot camp, I felt I received a priceless reward, feeling fully energized. Thank you boot camp.

Fantastic experience: Northern Bootcamp is such an amazing experience! Not only just for fitness and weight loss! Its a holiday packed with outdoor adventure and exercise! I’ve just left camp and missing the team, food and company schedule already! See you soon Caroline and Dan! Thank you for an amazing experience! X

Fantastic experience: Northern Bootcamp is a fabulous experience whatever the reason is that you have gone. For the period of your camp you put your life in the hands of the experts. You eat what you are given, go where you are told and exercise your socks off! Dan, Caroline and the rest of the team have got the balance just right for to make you do the best that you can - a lot of encouragement, some carefully chosen comments and just a pinch of reverse psychology. The sessions are all carefully tailored to challenge you and never repeated during camp. The sand-dunes were my worst and my best and you really feel the burn. I have booked again to go later in the year so will remain focussed on what I have learnt so that when I go back again I am building on earlier successes. So glad that I found Northern Bootcamp and summoned up the courage to go the first time.

Fantastic experience: If you want a few days of fun fitness with really motivating instructors and other bootcampers I highly recommend Northern Bootcamp. Do it! You won't regret it. It really made me press re-set on my health and fitness as everything we did was realistic which really helped to be able to continue with it all on my own. I will have Caroline, Dan and the team in my head on all my runs.

Fantastic experience: I have been to camp 3 times in the past 5 years, each time losing a significant amount of wright. But more importantly I have had fun, met new friends and tried new things. The staff are brilliant from the trainers to the chefs. The activities are awesome, on each camp I have had the opportunity to try something new. The care on site and after if top notch. Can’t recommend this place enough. Go book it now

Fantastic experience: Just the best bootcamp there is! Having been numerous times over the last 6 years I keep returning because of the fantastic trainers, amazing food and varied sessions. The team are welcoming, motivating and make the sessions fun!

Fantastic experience: Ich hatte eine super Woche. Das Training war top und das Essen sehr lecker. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.... und man kann in einer Woche sehr viel erreichen

Fantastic experience: The profoundly positive experience of Northern Bootcamp is truly life changing. It is now an essential part of my health and fitness. Thank you to the Bootcamp team for their energy, commitment, enthusiasm and support!

Fantastic experience: An amazing week spent here with a great bunch of people and a brilliant motivational team. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a kickstart to a healthy balanced lifestyle. Its situated and surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty which was a highlight for me

Fantastic experience: In April this year I lost 2.49 kilos (5.5 lbs) in weight and 7 cm (2 ¾ inches) from my waist in just 4 days. I want to tell you how I did it and how much fun I had doing it but I am torn. If everyone knows what Northern Bootcamp can do for them, will there be room for me? I want to tell you Northern Bootcamp’s excellent reviews on Google and other sites are very much deserved. It was these that convinced me to go the first time in December 2017 when I lost 3.6 kilos. My experience is of an extremely professional but very personal operation dedicated to supporting you to achieve your fitness goals. You’ll follow a daily routine of morning warm up, a cardio session, then strength training followed by an adventure activity in the afternoon. You are always on the move, never bored and you’ll realise that after a few days that you’ve never repeated the same activity. Above all, if you have more than a single taste bud, I know you will appreciate the carefully calculated and tasty meals. What a look at Northern Bootcamp’s web site will show is your visit is in comfortable accommodation in the heart of one of the most breathtakingly beautiful parts of the UK. Go, revel in it and take back home the memories of a dawn button run on the beach under the walls of Bamburgh Castle, a paddle through the arches of Stephenson’s rail bridge over the Tweed or a hike up the Ingram Valley into the heart of the Cheviots. The return rate to Northern Bootcamp is very, very high - 13 out of 17 on my latest visit – which speaks volumes in itself. You learn and train alongside each other whatever your fitness goals. Everyone encourages and helps everyone else. All activity is under the guidance of the NB team: Caroline, Dan, Neil, Bruce, Tony, Carla, Annie and Leanne. The team members are qualified, experienced and hugely enthusiastic about your personal journey. Since starting my regime last year I’ve lost nearly 20 kilos by applying what I learned about diet and exercise at Northern Bootcamp. I have guaranteed my place on my third camp in October this year by taking up the early booking discount NB offers. By the end of that month I expect to be another 15 kilos lighter and down to at least a 38 inch waist. If I can do it, anyone can especially with Northern Bootcamp’s help.

Fantastic experience: What can I say...it changed my life and how I see myself. They motivate you and push you to achieve your fullest potential. The food is amazing the staff are kind, helpful and understanding. They won't make you do something that you can't they will adapt something so that you can achieve. Inspirational is the word I would use to describe Northern Bootcamp.

Fantastic experience: I have tried many ways to lose weight and become fitter, for me this was a last chance saloon. From the very beginning the team has been their for me, from my initially hesitational phone call right through to the last day and beyond. The biggest strength of this company is the owners and the people who work for them. All with varied skill sets and interest who work together to achieve one aim, HELP YOU. All classes are tailored to you and I was pushed further than I ever thought I could go and all very varied. The stunning location obviously helps and the comradery of the campers (we are literally all in it together) just adds more to the experience, I have made new friends for life, an added bonus I had not expected. I have become more confident in my ability to train on my own, learning new techniques. The food is incredible and the knowledge of the chiefs is superb. If you are thinking of booking a camp don't look anywhere else. I will be looking to go back when time allows.

Fantastic experience: Well what an amazing camp! From start to finish. I was part of the august 18 camp and from booking to arriving Leanne was amazing answering all my queries and helping me with everything I needed. From start to finish the camp and the team was just awesome they have so much knowledge and it's great I've learnt so much from being there 7 days if you think this is a starvation camp your wrong 3 meals a day and two snacks the food was beautiful and filling. They put together fabulous activities and great HIIT classesvyou get pushed to your absolute limit and they accomadate for every fitness level out there it really is inspiring you will not regret booking any camp with these people they truly love what they do and take the time to get to know you've all! I was at the 7 day camp I lost 7.5 lbs and 44.5cm (17 inches) off my body I've left with such confidence and can't wait to carry on this journey they've helped me so much with drive and help me plan what's next! I already can't wait to go back next year!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff, really delicious food, nice variety of activities and nice accommodation :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic venue and great instructors! If you want to push yourself to lose weight or just improve your fitness Northern Bootcamp are the best!

Fantastic experience: Amazing residential Bootcamps at northern Bootcamp. I couldn't recommend these enough! I've done several camps over the last 4 years and every time have left feeling motivated, inspired, energised and fitter! The team are so knowledgeable, helpful and motivating. No two days are the same, allowing you to try a wide variety of activities. Also the food is delicious! Ill definitely be back! If you're thinking of booking a camp, just do it, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant team at Northern boot camp! Enthusiastic, motivating and importantly understanding of individuals' needs on camp. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of trying a boot camp experience.

Fantastic experience: Amazing food and constant giggles. Motivational heaven.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend northern boot camp more, stunning locations, amazing support, exercise made fun with the variety. The team are amazing, so knowledgeable and supportive. They offer a variety of activities and camps - I'm sure everyone would find one to interest..... take a look, you won't regret it

Fantastic experience: 16lb in a week! I would not have believed it. I turned up and handed over my daily decisions to the team and worked as hard as I could and lost 16lb - I can't remember 2 workouts being the same and I have now ticked abseiling off my bucket list. Paul was full of energy and motivation, Hetty was lovely and really easy to talk to and Caroline is a force of nature - her clear passion for healthy living and sound nutrition was infectious. I found out I like flipping tyres, am rubbish at archery and can easily survive on 50% of the food I thought possible, all free from wheat and trans fats which I'm sure helps. If you are considering a boot camp I can't recommend these guys strongly enough, at the end it was like saying goodbye to an extended family.

Fantastic experience: I had such a good week at Northern Bootcamp! Whether you have a little or a lot to lose, or just want to be fitter and healthier this is the place for you. I lost 11 pounds in 7 days and am now a healthy BMI, and more importantly, I feel great! The experience, service and ethos at Northern Bootcamp really exceeded my expectations. To reassure anyone who is worried: you’re not shouted at, you’re not punished and you are definitely not starved – in fact the food is incredible and I genuinely never felt hungry, despite being quite a fussy eater. There is plenty to keep you busy with several varied workouts a day, and a chance to try some more adventurous sports like coasteering and rock climbing. The physical activities are tailored to test your personal limits and regardless of how fit or unfit you are, you will need to work hard to get the best out of every session. However, the knowledgeable team have a really good, encouraging attitude and their enthusiasm is infectious, they want you to succeed as much as you do. Definitely recommended if you want a positive, supportive and effective health and fitness retreat. Thanks to all the team up in Bamburgh!

Fantastic experience: Great bunch of people who really cared about me having a positive experience. The workouts were challenging, the activities were fun and the food was delicious, it certainly challenged my long held beliefs about what portion sizes my food needed to be to keep a clear head and plenty of energy. The nutritional advice was sound and practical and it was clear the team really wanted this to be a life changing event as much as I did. I have not tried other boot camps but other participants were clear that this was the best they have found. I got more from the experience than I anticipated and changed the shape of my body - I highly recommend this excellent place set in some beautiful countryside.

Fantastic experience: Stunning people/owners/trainers, stunning place! Just completed 7 days at Northern Bootcamp and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. If like me you are looking for structure in exercise and eating to achieve better fitness and lose inches WITH outdoor activities there is no better place than Northern Bootcamp. I embarked upon this venture alone and met a fantastic group of people who I have a great respect for and who made my week brilliant. The accommodation is comfortable and spacious with everything you need. I'm not going to give too much away because if you are reading this worried or apprehensive don't be, just book it and go, be brave, it'll change you! Thank you Caroline & Dan for making your dream a reality. Massive respect to Dave the Destroyer, I still hear you in my sleep! And Bruce, you are absolutely brilliant, loved your circuits and the Mr Men!! Not forgetting Annie who kept us alive with her delicious meals and Neil and Hetti for their ongoing support and motivation I'll be back x

Fantastic experience: I did the 4 day boot camp in January and it was brilliant. As with most people I was apprehensive on many levels beforehand and while it was physically tough (as you would want and expect) it was also great fun and very rewarding. You find you CAN do things !!!!! I went to see if it would motivate me to 'get off my backside' and that is exactly what it has done. The instructors are very professional and know their stuff and explain what you are doing and for what reason you are doing it and are very approachable . The food is nice (you appreciate every mouthful) and the variety of activity, although kept secret until just before, make it perversely exciting. All done in a beautiful part of the country. I lost 10.5 lbs in my 4 days and continue to exercise and eat healthier since my departure. I will go back again.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Northern Boot Camp to anyone. The days are packed full of activities in an amazing setting and I had so much fun! The instructors are all really friendly and knowledgeable and give so much encouragement. It is suitable for all fitness levels and will be adapted to make sessions easier/harder as required depending on how fit you are. Food is great and you will not go hungry. Accommodation is clean and comfortable. Had the opportunity to try out activities I had never done which was amazing, really challenged myself. That said you do not have to do anything you do not wish to do. I did not go to lose weight but lost 8lbs and 6cm from my waist. If you are thinking about booking do it, you won't regret it. I will definitely be going back..... Update! Just returned for the third time and the experience has been equally good each time. Further update! Just returned from my 4th visit and once again exceeded expectations! Roll on trip number 5! Sept 2021 - 5th visit was just as great!!!

Fantastic experience: I've been to Northern Bootcamp three times now and it gets better and better. The first time I went I was a bit apprehensive because of the 'bootcamp' connotations of austerity and hardship. In fact going to join the lovely team in the stunning Bamburgh coast is like being embraced in a lovely nurturing welcoming hug! The location is gorgeous, sea, sand, castles, mountains - what's not to like? The food was really good (I'm vegetarian, but everyone seemed happy at the variety and flavours on offer) but best of all are the team of people and variety of activities. Every day was different, but over the time I've been there have included long mountain walks in the Cheviot Hills; tried our hand at abseiling; body boarding; climbing; kayaking; coasteering; cycling; orienteering (sort of, not my forte) - as well as lots of running around (don't worry, it's challenge by choice) and more conventional circuit training; boxercise; TRX sessions and so on - but with the backdrop of the sea and countryside throughout. I did way more than I thought possible (I'm fifty), and laughed a lot and met some brilliant fellow campers. The accommodation includes comfy beds and squishy sofas. The proprietors and trainers were full of genuine passion and enthusiasm, as well as expertise - and just as importantly great anecdotes! I certainly felt in safe hands. As a direct result of NBC I went from being a complete non-runner, to becoming a regular parkrunner and I even now belong to a local running club, which was not a statement I ever expected to make. I've never got any faster, but I've learned to enjoy doing it badly, and I'm very much the fitter for it. If you are going because you want to lose weight, you will, but the experience is about a whole load more than that. You do need to take with you a sense of humour and an open mind, as well as a really good sports bra and proper trainers, and then just embrace the opportunity. Try everything, you might surprise yourself!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the camp. I signed up feeling a little nervous and scared but the bootcamp team were excellent.
