November was the busiest month of the year for FitFarms. We ran three fitness and weight loss camps on 13th, 20th and 27th November. We are closed for the month of December and we’re back in action on 22nd January.

Julie and Stephen have started to plan the Advanced FitFarms programme. We will be running two in 2010 one in March and the other in September. FitFarms will send a newsletter to everyone with full details of the course.

We will also send a newsletter informing you of which parks FitParks will be opening in next. It will probably be Battersea in London followed by the other London parks.

We wish everyone a Happy Christmas and Julie (health manager) has a special Christmas message.

“Remember the 80% - 20% rule over the festive season and don’t forget to carry on exercising Happy Christmas to you all” - Julie

Michelle and I met at our anternal class in October 2005, our babies were both due in December. Each week we would meet for a coffee and biscuits and be 3lbs heavier! Eventually I’d put on 3 stone and Michelle 3 and half stone. Once we’d had our babies, we sat back and waited for the wait to fall off!! - Strangely, contrary to belief very little happened.

We started an 18 month cycle of diets. Weight watchers, slimming world, south beach, atkins, cabbage soup, detox, fasting, blood type, personal trainers (3 x per week). We gradually lost some of the weight, although 18 months later we were both still two stone overweight. In desperation one afternoon we scanned the internet for fasting retreats and stumbled across the FitFarms website….. After piling on a few more pounds over Christmas and a depressing (couldn’t fit into any clothes) New Years Eve we couldn’t procrastinate any longer. We booked to go to FitFarms in February 2008 and not wanting to be totally useless on arrival we started exercising in the 6 weeks leading up to our departure.

FitFarms stands alone in the residential weight loss boot camp market by doing the opposite of the celebrity-backed military boot camp and carefully working with people to achieve sustainable weight loss and personal health goals.

Dee Kelly from Cornwall who went through the fitness and weight loss camp week long programme in November 2008 said ‘FitFarms has made me look at my health in a different, healthier way. As a teenager, I suffered from Bulimia so I have always had a bad attitude to food, whether for comfort or celebration, food was always my partner in life. Through sensitive support from FitFarms on nutrition, exercise and behaviour change I have now re-evaluated my relationship with food and my body. I now know that the way to sustainable weight loss and good health is about a new way of life - exercise and the 80/20 rule is the way forward.
