Mereo Boot Camp
Bloated Brits can sweat off their post Christmas bulge at a new military style boot camp in Majorca.
Mereo Boot Camp is a new residential camp designed, founded and run by two ex-British Army physical training instructors, Ian and Liz Robinson. The husband and wife team promise to deliver a no-nonsense week long fat-busting fitness course specially designed to combat Christmas and New Year over indulgence.
The camp is the first military style boot camp in the Balearics and offers an alternative to traditional package holidays. It will offer female only and mixed sex camps offering a broad mix of exercise and training techniques designed to provide an all over body workout. Clients can expect their day to begin with a pre-breakfast workout such as a beach run or gentle circuit.
Ian said: “In these circuit-training-style sessions outdoors, you can expect to work hard and get hot and sweaty but also enjoy a new dimension to exercising because of the variety that the sessions bring.â€
After breakfast the days will be packed full of fat burning sessions and adventure training activities such as military style circuits, hill walking, boxing, core workouts, beach games, abseiling, gorge walking & mountain biking and more.
The team-based theme encourages participants to really put the effort in and achieve results. Liz said: “For boot camp workouts, think ‘group training sessions’, think ‘outdoors’, think ‘fun’ and think ‘challenging’. It’ll be a strict and no nonsense regime but there won’t be any shouting in people’s faces. However all activities will be compulsory and there won’t be any opting out to lounge by the pool, although we will designate time for that.â€
Mereo Boot Camp is situated on a stunningly beautiful 250 acre site on the north west of Majorca. The camp can accommodate 22 clients with all rooms having ensuite facilities. There is also a large private pool for visitors to relax in once the rigours of the day’s training have been completed. Clients will undertake a fitness assessment on day one to ascertain fitness levels so we are able to place clients in ability groups.
The idea of running their own military style boot camp began to appeal to the couple while they were both in the army. Ian spent ten years as an Army PT instructor involved in fitness training at all levels from working with potential recruits through to training and assessing the elite Special Forces
Mereo also offers corporate packages for companies looking for something extra for their team building events.
A one week stay at Mereo Boot Camp in January, February or March 2009 costs £999 excluding flights. This New Year offer is a significant discount on usual rate of £1500.
