Thursday at FitFarms Spain was great day because of the great mix of exercise. Today was also the day when we did the port rock face walk which out of all the walks has the best views.

First up at 7.30 AM is body combat with our new super trainer Jason. There were kicks and punches whilst are 16 ladies and 1 man became very physical by poolside. Jason has a dance background so every now and again he would take the group in and out of a little dance just to mix things up.

When body fat had finished we all went into Bob’s breakfast. I would like to say a great thank you to Bob because every meal we have had a great tasting sensation. He really does make healthy food exciting and fun!

Then it’s the walk. Some people have not been looking forward to it because there is a steep hill at the beginning and this really lifts the heart rate and makes muscles fatigue quite quickly. We leave the villa at 9:15 AM and make our way down to the port through the quiet market streets of Javea.

Once at the port we meet Stephen (me) who tops everyone up with water before they tackle the hill. We always give options at FitFarms making every task that we do during the day manageable but also challenging. I must say I was surprised when the options were given and everyone said yes I want to do the hill. There was one lady who ummed a little bit but then said yes I’m here for the challenge. She had a minor knee problem a few years ago so was a little concerned that she may start but could not finish. When re-assured that a safety vehicle will be driving up and down the hill she became more confident. We forgot to mention it was me driving the safety vehicle so there was actually even more chance of injury now!

One group made it all the way to the top which is fantastic. The others were picked up when they reached their limits which is their own individual finish points. However the lady who ummed at the beginning went to the top which was simply amazing. It just goes to show what you can do when you start and it’s usually the not starting which is the major hold back when gauging individual success. Well done Tina the views and you were breathtaking!

When we arrived back at the villa it was lunch time and once again Bob did us proud. Mixed Paella which consist of chicken, fish, vegetables and rice that is cooked in chicken stock. Very tasty!

The afternoon was action packed full of exercise sessions and a programmes workshop showing people how to devise their own programmes.

It was a great day had by all and the guests are asking questions about tomorrow which is a great sign as they are being keen and interested ‎in exercise and nutrition. Lifestyles are changing before our eyes!

This week our FitFarms retreat was held in the heart of Jeava situation in Spain. The weight loss retreat ran from Saturday to Saturday with days starting from 7:30 am until 8 pm.

The classes delivered during the course featured Aqua aerobics in the private outdoor pool as well as stretch and mobility classes, boxing, Zumba, aerobics, dance, core sessions, legs bums and tums and finally Tabatha and lots of circuits and high intensity interval training workouts. Alongside this varied timetable we were also able to provide and deliver various walks including costal, beach and simple but scenic walks.

FitFarms Team

FitFarms Spain ‎is starting today in Javea which is based in the Costa Blanca region. The region is famous for white sands and a sunny climate so it is always one of the most popular fitness camps with guests and the FitFarms Health Team.

The team this week consists of Georgia the aerobics queen, Jason the physiotherapist and dance specialist, Andy the health manager and master kettlebell coach, Robert the health chef and Stephen who is in charge of logistics!

This FitFarms Spain course has followed the Dorset weight loss retreat so at 6am this morning everyone jumped out of bed busying themselves. We left at 8am destination Bristol airport! Andy was the leading car and with a few creative turns we arrived on time at the airport for check in.

Ryan air is the airline of choice! We’ve all been weighed, measured, scanned and ‎are now sitting on the plane writing blogs.

The flight consists of the typical Benidorm parties with hats and stag / hen party t shirts. The villa where we run the Spain fitness holiday is a far throw from the commercial night life of Benidorm as we are based in a historic fishing port at the base of a national park mountain range.

When we land it will be all about preparing for the guests arrival flying in the next day to Alicante airport. ‎As like most of the FitFarms Fitness camp programmes guests arrive feeling nervous and apprehensive so the team are there to comfort them and put them at ease so they make the very most of their time at the fitness holiday.

We make it as easy as possible to join us so we have two pick ups from Alicante airport being1pm and 7pm. Then there is around an hour drive to the typical Mediterranean villa in Javea.

The first day of FitFarms Spain fitness camp started today with the health team practising Tai Chi on the beach this was followed up by healthy ‎omelette breakfast.

Once breakfast finished the risk assessment on the first walk started. Javea port walk which is probably the most challenging out of all the hikes is simply magnificent. We enter from the port and go straight into a long steep hill that ends at a spectacular view point. The team take in the views and then set off in a circular walk through the montgo mountain range eventually ending back at the port. The walk is signed off by Georgia the health and safety officer as risk free with stunning scenery!

The time hits 11.30am and it’s time to make the first trip to the airport to meet guests at 1pm. The traffic was free flowing all the way and we hit the airport dead on 1pm to meet the first group of guests. The group look a little nervous but extremely excited and are already making friends with each other.

There’s a few guests arriving in an hour so one person waits in a second car to meet and greet. Here at FitFarms we try to be accommodating as possible so we also do one trip into the centre of Alicante to receive a guest from the train station who has travelled from Barcelona. Thank you goes out to Bryan who sat in the front giving perfect directions getting us there swiftly and on time!

The conversation is free flowing as we drive west towards the FitFarms fitness camp villa and one hour later the FitFarms mentors are showing the guests their rooms.

Ninety minutes later and it’s back down the motorway to meet the second group of guests. There’s a late arrival from London Luton due to a delay so a little bit of waiting this time but once we are all together its back to the car for the last journey.

We enter the FitFarms Villa at 9.30pm greeted by Jason the physiotherapist and dance specialist who with the help of Georgia settles the guests into their rooms. The chef has prepared chicken with roasted Mediterranean Vegetables which was a rainbow of colours with a delightful taste.
