The UK’s Original Immersive Outdoor Training Camp

The Kaizen team ensures that camps are made up of people at similar levels of fitness abilities. Whether you are an elite athlete looking to push to the next level or are earlier in your fitness journey, there is a camp for you. All camp options are clearly labelled with recommended fitness abilities, and following registration, you will speak to a Kaizen member of staff for further confirmation that you’re good to go. All of these measures ensure a challenging and enjoyable experience for all.

Your camp fee covers the following: Pre-camp tailored training programme, Kaizen training merchandise to wear on camp and keep, full glamping accommodation and camp amenities ready for your arrival, all meals and healthy snacks (locally sourced, nutritious and plentiful), multiple daily guided training sessions tailored to your ability (gym, cold, run, hike), safety support from a qualified team, camp aftercare, and the opportunity to meet new likeminded people in a truly unique setting. Pick up and drop off at local train stations also included.

We'll send a detailed kit list upon booking. Essential items include: hiking boots, warm layers, waterproof jacket and trousers, swimwear for cold water sessions, towel, water bottle, and personal items. Full details provided with registration.

We provide detailed travel information including transport options from major UK cities. Many participants arrange carpools with other attendees. Nearest train stations and pick-up points will be shared before your camp dates. We ensure your journey to and from camp is as smooth as possible.

Absolutely! Many participants come solo and find it's a great way to meet like-minded people. The group dynamic naturally fosters connection, and you'll leave with new friendships. Solo or with a friend - both work brilliantly.
