What is a fitness camp and how does it differ from a fat camp?

A fitness camp supports total body wellness, whereas a traditional “fat camp” focuses solely on short-term weight loss. If you’re searching for lasting results, it’s important to have support for the mental, emotional, physical, and nutritional components of total body wellness. Our approach not only kickstarts your body makeover at camp, but sets you up for continued success at home. Choosing a fitness camp over a fat camp can offer the perspective shift you need to finally achieve a lifestyle that supports long-term weight loss.

Is PFC purely for people who are trying to lose weight?

Our approach is highly effective for weight loss, but it’s not the only reason people seek out Premier Fitness Camp. Because we promote total body wellness, our California fitness camp offers support for building mental and emotional resiliency and strength — characteristics that can serve you no matter where you are with your physical journey. And, with nutritional workshops and add-ons such as our Golf Fit or Tennis Fit programs, you can invest in yourself and your interests in a uniquely supportive and positive environment.

How does Premier Fitness Camp promote lifelong wellness?

A lower number on the scale may be the primary goal for most of our participants, but we see that as a secondary result of our true aim — wellness, in every sense of the word. Lifelong wellness comes when you have greater peace and connection to your emotional and mental state, as well as a practical understanding of how nutrition and fitness play an integral role in feeling good and living well. Our program — the only accelerated weight loss program with University validation — helps you bring all of these components together to realign your life in a more harmonious and healthy way.

Which PFC weight loss program is right for me?

We make sure your time at Premier Fitness Camp is as enjoyable as it is effective because we know that when the journey is fun, it’s easier to continue. Our weight loss camp offers one, two, three, and four-week programs based on your availability and budget. We also offer add-on programs built around your hobby and interests. Golf Fit is ideal for avid golfers looking to improve their game; Tennis Fit is perfect for those hobby tennis players; Spa Fit offers plenty of options for self-care at our celebrated spa; and Culinary Fit is designed for home chefs looking to improve their craft.

I’ve been to PFC 3 times because I am such a fan of the program! Their trainers are knowledgeable, inspiring and make hard work fun. The food is amazing! I really enjoyed the cooking demos. The facilities are beautiful. I really appreciate the workbook and how the team helps us draft our plan for continued success at home.

I absolutely love this place and the experience it offers. What began as a simple one-week reboot has transformed into a complete lifestyle shift. PFC equips you with the knowledge, tools, and support to make meaningful—and sustainable—changes in mindset, movement, and nutrition. The staff is world-class: knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your journey. They become your biggest cheerleaders. The food is nutrient-dense and incredibly delicious—you feel satisfied and energized, never deprived. The fitness classes are fun, diverse, and adaptable to all levels, so you can challenge yourself at your own pace. I return every year for a week to reset, recharge, and measure my progress. If you're considering PFC, don’t hesitate. It will exceed your expectations in every way.

PFC is a life changing experience. I signed up for two weeks snd stayed for eight. The facilities and staff are top notch. The criteria is extremely thorough and attention to detail is a top priority. The amenities and off site venues make it even more special. I was able to leave with a vast amount of knowledge to continue on my journey. I still communicate with some of the trainers and staff nearly two years after my stay. I plan to visit in October 2025 for my two year reunion.
