Fitness holidays...

Can anyone recommend any fitness holidays/camps in Europe (or USA)?

I'm looking to recharge my batteries, eat healthily and do some fairly intensive exercise.

I've seen a company called in:spa which offers 1-week holidays for approx £2000 to £2500!!! (https://www.inspa-retreats.com)

I have never in a million years comtemplated spending that much money on a week's holiday......but the packages do look fantastic. They take place in luxury accommodation with dedicated trainers, yoga instructors, nutritionists and chefs. But it does seem one hell of a lot of money!

Are there any cheaper alternatives out there, which offer a similar package - with the onus on eating healthily and exercising, yet still feeling like you've had a holiday (and some sun)?

Hire a fitness trainerfor for here in the UK, and go on a two week holiday in the sun somewhere. Whilst there get up early and do some jogging and swimming before it gets too hot.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a package like I described. For one thing, I like the idea of spending the week (of full-on exercise and healthy eating) with a group of other people who are there for the same reasons.

I don't mind spending a fair bit of money on it, but I just don't wanna pay over the odds if there are similar options for half the price.....catch my drift?

I've scoured the internet but not really found anything that offers such a complete/focussed package.
