Prestige Boot Camp Reviews 289

I was worried about 28 people in the Camp, but there was no need for two reasons. 1) The group were just amazing, inspirational & fun. 2) The trainers knew perfectly what are individual needs were & split us up into three groups all the time.

My personal results were just amazing & I thank everyone in the Camp because they all played a part.

Staff R, W, T, Joe & Chef were inspirational, they knew the ones to push, they knew when it was time for some to rest & they focus on having FUN at the same time.

I don't think 5 STARS are enough.

Thank you

Totally enjoyed every minute despite the hard work and early mornings ! Would go again and again !

I attended a one week camp in Suffolk in August having never done a bootcamp before.

I arrived at camp with below average fitness and my Sporty Spice days firmly in the dim and distant past. Although I was sure I would end the week fitter and healthier, I wasn't sure quite how I was going to achieve it, except that it would be damn hard work! Well, I'm happy to say that not only did I come away fitter and healthier, but also full of life, energy and a bit of a tan! Plus I lost 11lbs. Result!

I was met at the train station by a very friendly and welcoming fellow scouser Staff R, and we were driven the short distance to the beautiful Suffolk residence that was to be our home for the next week. I was introduced to my fellow campers who came from all walks of life, with varying fitness levels, ages and backgrounds. Some had made the journey from abroad, some were first-timers like me and many were returning campers. Our first evening was spent getting to know everyone and being introduced to our trainers for the coming week, Staff R and Staff W. They welcomed us all and took us through the timetable for the week. They recommended we all get an early night ready for the following morning.

What followed was a wonderful week of fun, varied individual and team activities designed to bring the best out of you, both physically and mentally, whilst all the time being encouraged and motivated by the most professional, caring and funny people I have ever met. They very quickly understood each individuals capability and took the time to make sure everyone got the most out of each and every activity, every day. This created a great sense of camaraderie within the group and we all benefitted from this positive environment.

Food is very important when you are exercising your socks off! The food was of excellent quality, always freshly prepared and full of flavour. Special dietary requirements were also very well catered for (special thanks Staff R). They have definitely taken the time to create a delicious, nutritionally balanced menu and it shows.

I would say to anyone reading this who is in two minds about whether to take the plunge JUST DO IT!
I was just like you, researching bootcamps online, not sure which one to choose, reading these same reviews thinking surely they can't be as good as everyone is saying but to their absolute credit, they really are. You will find yourself energised and revitalised, wanting to go that extra mile and achieving results you didn't think you were capable of. I certainly did.

The level of commitment, passion and dedication shown by Staff R, Staff W and everyone at Prestige in wanting to help transform the lives of others is truly admirable and genuinely rare these days. It is no surprise that year after year they have so many returning happy campers. It is a true testament to Staff R and his team. Bootcamps are never easy but Prestige make it fun and above all achievable. There is never a dull moment and as challenging as it is, you can't help but smile and enjoy the positive, relaxed atmosphere they create.

It was and remains one of the best things I have ever done and I honestly can't fault my time with them. They are excellent at what they do. Even now, when friends and family (and even my neighbour's 11 year old son and his little friend) comment on how good I'm looking or how happy I am, I can wholeheartedly say Prestige Bootcamp is the reason. Three months on and I'm still on a high so if you have decided you want to do something positive for yourself and you care about your physical and mental wellbeing, then I have no hesitation in recommending Prestige.

This truly is an exceptional camp run by exceptional people.

I attended the Prestige Spain bootcamp in November 2014.

I went to Spain with the sole intention of losing weight. Really simple goal. I’d recently started my ‘weight loss journey’ and I wanted a fitness kick in the right direction to help me stay focused through the dangers of the upcoming festive season. Looking back, I think I grossly underestimated what Prestige is all about. I think to refer to my week in Spain simply as a ‘weightloss camp’ does a great disservice to Prestige. This was a week about pushing beyond the mental and physical limits I had set upon myself for many years. It was a week about finding that little bit of extra strength to keep going when I thought I was finished. It was a week about appreciating the amazing things my body can achieve – as imperfect as it is. The weightloss was a (very welcome!) by-product of all of this.

I think the number of return visitors to Spain demonstrates how good this experience is. There was a surprising range of ages, nationalities and fitness levels. Each person has their own story and goals, and each person receives the right amount of attention to ensure they achieve their goals. Being one of the largest and least athletic in the group was intimidating at first, but I used the limitless enthusiasm of the instructors and the unwavering group spirit to push through a tough first couple of days to finish the week strong. The instructors – Staff R, M, W and Jo – really are at the top of their game. There would be no Prestige without staff of this caliber. Their experience and education means that they really know how to get the best (and more!) out of everyone. I went to Spain with a mental list of things in my head that I just ‘don’t do’. I did them. And I will do them again! Every activity can be adapted to your fitness level so you will work hard, regardless.

The accommodation is a series of stunning villas in a very luxurious part of Marbella. Gorgeous views, comfortable rooms, swimming pools, hot tubs, a cinema… they cannot be faulted. The food was wholesome and incredibly tasty – the chef did a great job and paid attention to any special dietary requirements. I will be honest and say that I wanted more food, but after a poor diet for many years (and eating way too much!) I re-learned what a reasonable portion is. I was also reminded what ‘real’ food cooked from scratch in a kitchen (rather than coming from a packet) tastes like.

So, what now? I left Spain feeling proud of what I’d been able to achieve in just 6 days. I also felt incredibly excited knowing what I was going to achieve in the future if I kept up the hard work. A couple of weeks later, I still feel that there are no limits as to what I can do. My workouts are more effective, I’m still eating well and I’ve set myself a number of fitness-related goals for 2015 - ranging from a hiking holiday to taking part in a local 10k race – to keep me focused. However, the one goal I’m really looking forward too is returning to Prestige Spain lighter, stronger, fitter and faster, and doing it all again. But better :-)

A challenging, fun and enlightening experience. Highly recommended, regardless of fitness level.

I have just returned from my third bootcamp at Prestige.

This organisation knows how to tick every box and clearly has a winning formula , as many people return time and time again.

Exceptional , professional, friendly, fun and motivating trainers, Staff R, Staff W and Staff M help every person, whatever their ability to be their best, help achieve each personal goal, and maybe exceed expectations.

Workouts are varied and intense but you will always end your day with a huge smile of achievement.

Beautiful surroundings, top quality food, slick operational handling of over 30 eager participants this time. Everyone is made to feel an individual and the personal touch is present at every juncture. Each trainer knows every individuals strength and how to coax the best out of everyone.

After a hard week's working out at Prestige, you will feel you can conquer ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!

Thank you Prestige, you are THE Best

Just had an amazing second bootcamp experience with Prestige Bootcamp in Spain as a self confessed bootcamp addict I've tried all the major ones over a period of years and took the plunge with Prestige in October at there Devon camp which was fantastic.

As part of a 8 week health kick I attended another bootcamp in Spain for 3 weeks before finishing up at Prestige for my final week as I knew from my devon experience it would be a hard week

The Spanish villas are amazing the last word in luxury from the 3 pools and the indoor pool & sauna to the amazing cinema with 1500 films to watch ( if your not to tired in the evenings) everything was perfect

We were extremely lucky weather wise as it was a perfect week and we exercised every morning on the beach before returning back to the villas for lunch and more exercise

On day 3, we did an amazing all day hike into the surrounding mountains and Staff W & Staff M were great they seemed to know exactly when to stop so that we could catch our breath before continuing upwards and onwards . Just as you thought you were about to drop on your feet Staff W would break for a few minutes . I'm amazed that I was able to do such an intense hike by day 3 but the encouragement of Staff W & Staff M made it possible

I did think initially that it would be a bit cliquey as it seemed that of the 30 people attending around 20 of them had been before and knew each other but this was defiantly not the case . Everyone was fantastic
friendly and encouraging with lots of banter which made a brilliant friendly environment for the week to come

It's a well run slick operation from the pick up arrangements to the exercise regime, every day is different, no class is the same so you don't get bored .

With over 30 people the levels of fitness was very diverse from some who could give The Terminator a run for his money in terms of fitness, to others who hadn't exercised for many years, to people who just wanted to get fit and lose some weight.

But this really didn't matter as the Trainers Staff R, Staff W & Staff M were brilliant in accommodating everyone's needs and abilities to ensure they got the maximum effect . Ages ranged from 25 to 65 and being a mixed camp of both men and women was brilliant atmosphere

For the first time in 8 weeks since beginning my health kick when running along the beach promenade one morning I felt fit and healthy and all the hard work was finally paying off .

I lost 14 inches and 8lbs which was amazing considering I have been on 4 weeks on continuous bootcamps and I expected my weight loss to slow down a bit

You would never think that a week of such intense exercise could be such fun but it really was

The staff all take the time to get to know you and encourage you and Staff R is inspirational full of eagerly and encouragement

I felt lousy, unfit and needed to do something different.So decided to do a totally different holiday. I decided to spent 60 minutes on the internet then decide what to do, well after 10 minutes a luxury boot camp was for me. I told my husband I needed to go and would he want to! Brill straight away he said yes.
Prestige Boot camp ticked all the right boxes.
When you are picked up everyone feels trepidation and wanders what the goodness have I let myself in for but hey your there so everyone rolls with it.
The Spain accommodation, wow.
All the trainers, positive, fit, happy, motivational and inspire you to reach your personal goals.
The training is handwork but fun and unpredictable so even more fun
I loved the food. In all my born days I have never tasted and enjoyed an orange so much.


















The teamwork made the boot camp enjoyable and me and my husband generally like a holiday away from people!
The massages well well worth the money and that was the only thing I spent extra money on.
My husband loved the experience and we both came back home healthy happy and inspired.
Since our return we follow the advice, we exercise most days because we want to and best of all we have decided after 18 months without a dog we shall be getting one after Christmas, so walks and exercise every day.
IF I am one of those people who live to be 100, I want to be as healthy as I can be.
I have been away many times, home and abroad and I can honestly say this holiday I really did come home refreshed, motivated and relaxed
I have never written a review before but I will now sum up Boot camp in one word
BRILLIANT.
BOOT CAMP IS BRILLIANT.

In my week in Devon I lost (some ;-)) bad habits, weight and flab and jumpstarted the new me. A month later, I'm pretty darn fit, still losing some weight and inches (more slowly of course) and am generally living more healthily.

The week can get pretty intense (you basically only get to decide when to go to bed) but you can really test your limits and come away a stronger woman (or man, I presume).

Staff W and P did an excellent job motivating us to keep going and they picked up on bad moods as well, letting us play a game etc. when we got really fed up.

The food was excellent too, thank you chef, and I started using some of the recipes already (chia seeds anyone?).

The only thing less than excellent was my room; lots of noise from the kitchen/living room, stuffy - please get some thermostats for the rooms - and a horrible plastic sheet on the bed.

Overall well worth the pain, sweat and tears though!

I love sport and am relatively healthy and so thought what a great way to spend a week's holiday doing sport in the Spanish sunshine. However I didn't really prepare myself mentally for the detox, minimal sun lounger / pool time and portion control so there were tough moments. From the moment you are met at the airport the camp is exceptionally well run. The team have a very slick operation constantly adjusting their plan to accomodate weather and energy levels of the group and I was super impressed by the way the Staff, Jo and Chef work with the guests to encourage but not bully and make sure you feel it is all about your choice, you are not forced to do anything and you can always ask for more food - but you'll find you want to do everything suggested by the team. Any niggles and injuries were swiftly dealt with and Staff could always find ways to accomodate individual limitations, the massage therapists in Spain were also very effective at releasing tight muscles. The standard of accomodation in Spain was first class. What has really impressed me is that two weeks after my return I still feel super charged, energised and remotivated and caffine free! I'd say do it no matter how fit and healthy you are, we all have room for improvement (or just treat yourself to a week of looking after you).

I have recently got back from the Spain boot camp with Prestige and looking back wish I was stil there. Staff R , W & T were amazingly motivating and educational at the same time. I went with only moderate fitness levels with the intention of boosting my appetite for fitness and loose weight, but it was so much more than I expected. The villa we stayed in was amazing and made the down time from training an enjoyable relaxing experience and while the training was hard it was catered to everyones fitness levels while still having fun. I managed to loose 21lbs in one week which was pretty amazing but came away with a new understanding on what to eat and when and also how much as my portions were far to big before. I have come back to the Uk with a changed diet a fresh approach to exercise and the confidence to know how far and much I can push my body. I can't thank the staff enough and even though I had a injury on day 3 they catered exercise around this to allow me to continue to train. The proof is the pudding 21lbs 14inches of body size decrease in one week and feeling a million times better than before I went. I will definetly be going again and can really recommend this for people from all walks of life.

An amazing week, the staff were great and really made us feel comfortable whatever fitness level we were. The chef produced great meals and even though we were on a calorie controlled diet the food tasted fantastic.
I would highly recommend the Devon boot camp.

Bootcamp is never easy physically or mentally, but the rewards are huge, and we achieved much more than we ever thought possible. This was the best bootcamp I've been on. Staff W and Staff P - you challenged us, made us laugh, kept us going and inspired us to change our lives. You are the best! And as for Chef …. wow! Thank you all so, so much….

i have been to several bootcamps - first with other companies - now only with Prestige. Most attendees at Prestige are returnees. Prestige emphasise health and lasting life-style changes. Other bootcamp companies beast you into the ground. This is counter-productive. At Prestige you lose just as much weight - they push you hard, but are not out to break you. The staff are wonderfully inspirational and supportive. I would like to go once a year for the rest of my life. You come home feeling and looking like a new person. Do it - it will change your life !!!!

The Prestige trainers are extremely motivated and passionate individuals who inspire you to achieve more than you believe is possible. In only five days, I lost several pounds and inches, but more importantly left re-energised and ready to embrace new fitness goals in my training. While we exercised hard each day, the trainers also ensured we stretched well and rested to avoid injuries. I spent the week with a lovely group of people, many of whom had attended Prestige boot camps before. Believe all the positive reviews! The Prestige boot camp is an exceptional experience which has guests returning year after year.

I spent two weeks at the Suffolk camp in early August and it was better than I ever could have expected.
After having spent five months backpacking through the UK and central Europe I felt sluggish, worn down and nowhere near as fit as I was when I started travelling. I wanted to do something for myself and was looking for some type of health retreat or boot camp to spend some time at before heading home to Australia.
Prestige Boot Camp was an absolutely amazing experience. The training sessions were always varied and allowed you to push yourself to do your best. The food was delicious and meal times were always a fantastic opportunity to discover new foods and cooking methods, as well as bonding with other campers. Chef did a fantastic job catering to all the campers dietary needs and was always more than happy to answer any and all questions about the meals he was serving and food in general. The accommodation and grounds were simply stunning. The house was very spacious with comfortable rooms which allowed for relaxing and socialising at the end of the day.
Nevertheless it is the staff that sets Prestige Boot Camp above the rest. Staff R, Staff W, Staff T and Jo are all extremely passionate about what they do and want nothing more than to be able to help and inspire others to taken hold of their own health and make a change for the better. At no stage was there any negativity or shouting coming from the staff to goad campers into training harder, only positivity, encouragement and support. The staff inspire good attitudes to best ensure lasting results long after the camp ends.
Having been back home in Australia for two weeks now I can really see the difference in myself and my friends and family have remarked on it too. Prestige Boot Camp not only helped me achieve my short term goals whilst on camp but have also provided me with the tools and the mindset needed to be able to continue my journey towards and fitter, happy and healthier me.
I would like nothing more than to return to Prestige to attend more camps, however the commute to both the UK and Spain locations from Australia is somewhat limiting.

This is my 4th Prestige experience and my results never cease to amaze me. I didn't think that a 5 day bootcamp would give me such good results as those I achieved on my previous 7 day ones but I did so well losing 8lbs and 9 inches! Just the kick start back into a healthy lifestyle I needed following a long holiday.
Staff R and Staff W were, as always their normal energetic, encouraging and passionate selves offering their expertise advice to all abilities in the group.
Devon is an amazing location for the bootcamp and definitely my favourite. The hikes along the Jurassic Coast are extremely challenging but the views are just breathtaking!
The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the newly installed ensuites, luxurious.
All in all a fabulous week and the group was just lovely! I met some great friends!

Last year I did a running camp because I'm really passioned about running but it was a very one-sided. Therefore I decided this time to join a boot camp especially to build up core strength. This was my first boot camp and I wanted to be pushed to my limits - and I was. It was the best fitness experience I ever had! Both staff were really fantastic! Great mixture of motivation, challenge and humor. I felt their passion about sport and this rubbed off to myself. It was a great mixture of different cardio and strength exercises and almost no additional equipment has been necessary. All exercises can be completed at home and due to the motivation both staff gave to me I managed to continue exercising at home.

I also loved the atmosphere they created. They structured the exercises in a way that everybody can perform them according to own ability and on the same hand they created also great team spirit and nobody felt alone or lost. And they ticked off all popular excuses. Long working hours? No excuse! They also did workouts taking 5 minutes only and afterwards I was completely exhausted… But it felt really fantastic to achieve all the challenges!

So the great news: no excuses!

A fantastic experience and I already booked my next Prestige Boot Camp.

Thank you, Staff W and Staff T! Excellent job!

It was a great experience, Staff R and Staff W were excellent, always pushing and encouraging you to make you achieve the very best you could and always praising effort. They are passionate about fitness, exercise and diet and pass on the love of it to everyone-it was brilliant. I will continue with the new things I have learned and try to become fitter and healthier

I had previously been on a Hyde Park weekend bootcamp, also run by Prestige, so I had some idea of what to expect from this bootcamp. The exercise was varied, and the trainers encouraged us to push ourselves whilst taking individuals' fitness levels into consideration. The accommodation was lovely, the only downside being slow WiFi - although I guess that's what you get being in rural Devon! The main challenge for me was doing so much activity on small food portions - it tasted great but there wasn't a lot of it. However, in 4 days I lost 6 lbs and 4 inches, so it was all worth it. I would definitely recommend Prestige bootcamp.

2 days ago my son and myself returned home from Prestige Boot Camp in Suffolk. What a glorious place. I feel energetic, have lost 8 lbs and I have learnt my exercise capabilities even with my various health issues. The staff are unbelievable. They are understanding, helpful, attentive, professional, incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. There was such a good vibe and atmosphere between not only the other guests and us but between the staff and the group. The chef was wonderful and adapted to our needs whenever circumstances required. Staff W and Staff T make such a good team and their humour and jokes kept us going. I will definitely be going again but this time with my husband. Thank-you to you all for helping my son and myself attain a new lease if life.
