Bridal Course Information

Preparing for the big day with our bridal fitness training courses

We know there is always so much to do in organising a wedding and preparation is the key. Preparation is also the key to getting yourself in shape for big day.

At BaseCamp we run weight-loss and fitness training courses for women and men, where we work with you to get you slimmer, more toned and fitter in a week. A week with us and you can expect to lose 4-5% body fat, which will reduce your body measurements.

On average women on our courses reduce their waist by 8cm, hips by 7cm and thighs by 4cm

On average men on our course can expect to reduce their waist by 7cm, hips by 4cm and thighs by 4cm

But back to the preparation! If you want to get slimmer and more toned for your wedding we would urge you to start preparing a few months in advance. Which is why, if you book a place on one of our weight loss and fitness training courses at least 8 weeks in advance, you’ll receive our special Bridal Pre-Course Programme to get you started on your weight loss programme before you arrive. And you’ll have a weekly telephone call from your personal BaseCamp trainer to give you advice and motivation.

We’ll also ask you to complete our BaseCamp food diary before you come with a typical week’s intake of food and drink. We’ll analyse your current eating habits and nutrition and use this information as part of your assessment.

Which means you’ll be in great shape to really make the most of your intensive week with us and get in the best shape possible for the wedding.

During your week with us our qualified and professional training and nutrition team will take you through safe fat-burning and fitness training courses. You’ll get the chance to try a range of different activities in our dawn to dusk programme, and you’ll be able to see how many calories you’re burning every day.

When you come to leave us, you’ll receive a full report and programme on what to do next to ensure you maintain your slimmer figure for the wedding and long after the honeymoon.

Our Bridal Package is available to brides, grooms, mothers of the bride and groom and bridesmaids. And for bookings of three people of more we offer a special discount of 12% off either single or twin/double room package.

Accommodation at your bridal weight loss boot camp

We know you’re coming to a weight loss boot camp and you expect it to be tough. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be exercising in some glorious countryside and come back to comfortable accommodation, hot showers and great food.

Which is why we have chosen two wonderful bases for our weight loss boot camp. You can stay either at our luxury country house in Exmoor, in the south west of England or in our beautifully converted barn complex in the Dordogne, France.

At both locations we have a selection of delightfully furnished and spacious rooms for single or twin occupancy – ideal for a hen party or perhaps a mother and daughter pre-bridal week. All rooms at our Exmoor location are en suite with either bath or shower. The rooms at our Dordogne location offer a shared bathroom arrangement.

At both locations we have very comfortable lounge areas where you can chat with other guests, relax with a magazine or watch television. In the winter months we light a roaring wood fire and in the summer you can unwind outside and admire the stunning countryside of Exmoor or the rolling hills of the Dordogne. Both locations have fine barbeque areas which we use when the weather allows and in France we also have a full size pool and lounging area which you can use.

Nutrition is an integral part of our weight loss boot camp. We will be dispelling the myths around food fads and showing you how to achieve a healthy diet to help you reach your weight goals.

During your stay you will experience gourmet meals created by Dan our chef, who has worked at several Michelin-stared restaurants. All your meals will be based on the principles of nutritional science. The menus have been designed, in conjunction with the full exercise programme, to result in sustainable fat loss, an increase in resting metabolic rate and a reduction in your measurements.
Although you’re at a weight loss boot camp, you will enjoy three meals a day, plus snacks. You won’t feel hungry and you may even find yourself eating more during the day than you normally do at home.
