We help you learn how to integrate these concepts after you return home, and we're always here to help when you need advice, support or guidance on the path forward after camp.
The Roles of Age and Gender^ Return to Top
Powerful Weight Loss for Men and Women of All Ages
It's no secret that fat camps and fat farms for kids are a big industry - but it's not just youth who need the advantages of spending dedicated time focused on their health.
People of all ages struggle with obesity, diabetes and other health problems. In fact, obesity is one of the top contributing factors towards death for adults today.
As such, Weight Crafters focuses entirely on the adult demographic - with our clients most commonly between 21 and 65.
Results To Expect
The kind of results you can expect from your time at Weight Crafters depend on many factors.
These factors include the length of your stay, existing medical conditions, etc.
Age and gender however, make perhaps the biggest difference.
Whether you're worried that an aggressive workout routine will make you look burly, or concerned about avoiding age-related injuries while you're here - we can put your mind at ease.
NOTE: In order to attend, you must be at least 18 years of age, or accompanied by a parent or guardian. Write us or give us a call today to find out how Weight Crafters can help address your specific needs.

We deliver deliciously prepared meals, as well as protein shakes (for clients who need them) and snacks. We try to change things up with new recipes and dishes on a regular basis.
Your meals are prepared with only the best ingredients that will accommodate your fitness, wellness and weight loss goals.
Special Dietary Needs?

There's nothing to worry about - we've got you covered.
Pre-Existing Injuries & Conditions^ Return to Top
Let us know what the issue is and what your limitations are.
Weight Crafters is not a mental health, medical or rehabilitation center suited for handling significant medical or psychological needs.
However we have all the experience and know-how to help many clients regain lost mobility, recover after injuries or minor surgery, and overcome emotional challenges that have prevented them from attaining success in the past.
We are dedicated to helping you regain your health. We specialize in taking your broken body and helping you to mend it. As long as your injury or problem is not very recent, or unhealed and incapacitating, we can often provide custom training that will actually accelerate the healing process.
In our unique residential fitness retreat, we tailor fit our technique to every participant - and we will modify any exercises necessary to keep you progressing safely!
Avoiding Fitness Plateaus^ Return to Top
Plateaus happen because your body is amazing.
Your body is naturally designed to build immunity to the stresses of exercise. It will adapt to repetitive training, causing your progress gaining muscle or losing weight to slow, and eventually stop. This is your fitness plateau.
Ever put a potted plant next to a window? In a few days the plant will be bent completely towards the light. To keep your plant natural looking, you have to turn it around every few days.
The same logic applies to your fitness routine - sticking to a single exercise regemin allows your body to adapt and counter your efforts. To prevent this, the key is adding endless variety.
At Weight Crafters we employ the True Fire Fitness System.
True Fire is a carefully crafted process specifically designed for the residential weight loss model. It prevents your body from adapting, while simultaneously providing full body exercise. The result is explosive weight loss, substantial strength increase, better stamina and more.
Maintaining Results At Home^ Return to Top
Losing weight is hard work, which requires a solid game plan, committment, discipline and sweat.

Once you return home however, the challenges can become a bit more complicated.
You can find yourself slipping into old habits that you worked so hard to overcome and you will need continued support.
We provide the follow-up support you need.
We help you avoid these pitfalls by helping you "lock in" new, healthy habits. We teach you how to approach food, exercise, and life in a way that will serve you well after it's all over with.
