Real People, Real Results
Hear what our clients have to say about our all-inclusive fat camp program.
I lost 96lbs! The trainers were fantastic, although there were other people in the training session I never felt neglected. The food was delicious and the staff was knowledgeable and attentive to everyone's varying needs.
—Samantha W, Lorain, OH
I lost 45 pounds in 4 weeks! I could not believe it! I know that that is the exception, not the rule - but I have to give the trainers and the chef major credit. I feel great and I have my life back.
—David D, Vancouver, CN
The staff was very helpful with teaching me to eat right (the food they served was great!), exercise right, and how to incorporate a healthier lifestyle after weight loss camp. Their personal attention to me was excellent!
—John S, Minneapolis, MN
Fat Camps Then and Now
Gone are the days of harsh tactics, unsupervised routines, and one-size-fits-all diets.
Are fat camps still a thing?
Yes, fat camps still exist—but they’ve come a long way from their outdated origins. At Weight Crafters, we’ve redefined the fat camp experience for adults who want real results, not gimmicks or pressure.
Gone are the days of harsh tactics, unsupervised routines, and one-size-fits-all diets. Today’s modern weight loss retreats—like ours—offer immersive, professionally guided environments where every aspect of your day supports your goals.
What happens at fat camp?
At Weight Crafters, each day includes:
- Expert-led fitness tailored to your ability level—whether you're just starting or returning after years away
- Chef-prepared meals that support weight loss and teach lasting nutrition habits
- Coaching and support for building motivation, breaking old habits, and creating new routines
- Structured time for rest, massage therapy, and reflection—all designed to support physical and emotional wellness
Unlike medication-based quick fixes or casual wellness getaways, our program is built for adults who are serious about improving their health, mobility, and quality of life. With nearly two decades of success, Weight Crafters provides a proven alternative to the traditional fat camp—one that’s grounded in results, not trends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can attend Weight Crafters’ fat camp program?
Our program is strictly for adults ages 18 and up. Most of our clients are in their 30s to 70s, with a wide range of health and fitness backgrounds. We do not accept youth or teen participants.
Is Weight Crafters a body positivity retreat?
We support self-respect and personal empowerment—but our focus is on helping adults take action to improve their health. This is not a passive or affirmational retreat. Our mission is to help you lose weight, feel better, and live stronger through real, measurable changes.
Will I feel out of place if I’m not fit or in shape?
Not at all. Most of our guests arrive overweight, out of shape, or dealing with chronic health issues. Our supportive, small-group environment (no more than 8 people) helps everyone feel welcome and included.
Is the program designed for people with joint pain, injuries, or medical conditions?
Yes. Our low-impact workouts are ideal for adults managing arthritis, joint replacements, chronic pain, diabetes, or heart concerns. We tailor the program to your needs with safety and results in mind.
What makes Weight Crafters different from other weight loss retreats?

Every workout, meal, and daily plan is customized to your goals, fitness level, and health status. Our team works with you one-on-one to ensure your experience is safe, supportive, and effective.
Will I be pushed too hard during workouts?
No. We’re not a boot camp. We challenge you safely, using low-impact methods that build strength and stamina without pain, intimidation, or overtraining.
Is this program worth the investment?
Absolutely. You’re not just buying time away—you’re investing in expert coaching, real results, improved health, and tools to live better long after you return home.
What if I’ve failed at other programs before?
