What an amazing week! Caroline and Dan are professional and knowledgeable trainers and Carla’s cooking is excellent. A week of hard work but fun in equal measures. Accommodation is great and hot tub was very welcomed after body boarding in the North Sea! Absolutely loved my week and I will definitely be booking again (and again and again!!!!)

A wonderful week
I spent a fantastic week at bootcamp. The instructors (Caroline, Dan and Richy) are excellent. The experience also felt very personalised and tailored to individual needs, so that everyone was able to achieve. People are encouraged to challenge themselves. We were able to work out on the beach, go body boarding, coasteering, climb trees ... So many activities, in such beautiful settings. It was great to exercise and enjoy so much time outdoors. The food was delicious - Carla and Caroline put a huge amount of care into providing tasty meals for all. I met a group of lovely people, and we had so many laughs together!

Amazing week
Am just back from a fabulous week at Northern bootcamp. Caroline, Dan, Carla and Richy did an amazing job.
Lots of variety of exercise and adventure including: body boarding, coasteering, tree climb, zip line and orienteering. Exercise involved beach and dune runs, boxing, weights, circuits, cardio as well expert nutritional advice. Something for everyone.
Food is exceptional and I was never hungry, all.home made on site.
The group worked as a team and we all encouraged each other. Some were there for weight loss, some for adventure and some for both.
You are made to feel very welcome in the stunning location of the Northumberland coast.
Highly recommend to anyone. I went alone and never felt on my own.

Got my mojo back!
Decided to book a week here at the last minute after reading the reviews, I had had a very difficult last year which meant my fitness had been put on the back burner and weight had crept up. From the first day of mobility and exercises on the beach I knew the reviews were 💯 spot on. The classes were expertly managed with professional instruction throughout. The afternoon activities were brilliant , giving you the opportunity to try different sports. The food was amazing, the rooms comfortable and clean. I left feeling I had regained a bit of my old self back and it definitely kick started my fitness and meal routines. Loved meeting new people who were all lovely and friendly. Fantastic team , thank you all . Xx

Such a huge fitness and health boost
I first visited in 2013 and came back in April 2023. After having 3 kids, my health and fitness isn’t what it was, Caroline and the team are so supportive and helpful that I feel it was a massive boost and is helping me on my fitness journey. The activities are varied and tailored to any age and fitness. I would definitely recommend!

Brilliant week filled with exercise, beautiful surroundings, great company and delicious food!
Have been for a few bootcamps now and they are always excellent!
The trainers are superb and passionate about what they do - they design an excellent mix of workouts aimed at all abilites that include cardio, strength, circuits. Most of the workouts are outside - and given the surroundings are beautiful this makes a difference!
The afternoons are spent outside doing a variety of outdoor activities - using the sea, the beaches, the woods... all afternoon activies are optional but they are fun and everyone is super encouraging!
The food is delicious too!
Overall, it's a really fantastic week.

Superb
Not only is this a perfect place to begin or enhance your fitness but the benefits of the small groups and experts on hand give you the support to ensure a life changing experience. My advice - give it a go and try out activities you have never done before, I did and unexpectedly found a new skill

May sound dramatic, but this place changed my life!
I am a middle aged executive, with classic health issues attributed to a sedentary, businessman and busy lifestyle. I was over weight, lethargic and the most unfit I have been in my life. I had little choice but to impose my own shock to the system before nature did it for me. So, jumping in with both feet, I signed up to Northern Bootcamp.
The accommodation is first rate, and the showers are of the type you just don't want to get out of. The coaches very quickly become friends, with a genuine interest in your health and overall well being. There is a warm, homely and safe feel about the whole place. Before you know it you are wandering around in slippers and PJs.
The training is very well thought out, able to adjust to whatever level of fitness you have and most importantly without showing you up or making you feel insecure about yourself, irrespective of how competitive you are. The programme is flexible and adapts to the weather and the general mood of the group or individuals. I never felt left out or awkward. The training does deliver results , personally I saw a significant improvement in overall fitness and flexibility, and more quantitatively, I saw muscle grown and fat loss, with my body shape visibly changing in 7 days. The training is not your typical gym class, it combines a variety of activities that are simply fun, a lot of fun. The afternoons were normally outdoor, active adventures sometimes paddle boarding, abseiling or coastal walks along the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in the UK!
The food is akin to what you would get served in a top London restaurant, only with a lot more thought as to it nutritional value. You will not go hungry and you will never feel that there is any calorie counting going on.
By day two or three there was a real sense on family, a group of strangers, with common goals and values working together, supporting each other, laughing and sharing a real adventure. The whole experience feels safe, despite you pushing your limits and asserting yourself in a way that will surprise you.
It has now been a week since I left the Camp, and the weight continues to drop off, I have learnt new techniques to train, eat and stay motivated, but above all I feel young!
Without wanting to sound too dramatic, NBC has change my life, and I now look forward to more adventures with friends and family, better fitting clothes, clearer focus, and longer health.

Out and about in Northumberland - The Heritage Coast for leisure, pleasure and activities.
Fish, Golf, Dive, Birdwatch, Cycle, Walk, Horse ride and Kite-surf these are all sports and hobbies that are particularly well catered for in North Northumberland, and Golden Hill makes an ideal base from which to explore the County of Northumberland and beyond.
Golden Hill no matter what time of the year, whatever the time of year, you wll be able to walk on beaches and on the hills (The Cheviots) and see very few other people.
The Heritage Coast of Northumberland and its interior is one of the last great unexplored areas of England. Northumberland is also an area steeped in history, where wild life abounds, and its an area with as wide a range of activities and interests for you to enjoy as you would find anywhere in the UK.
There really is an interest here for everyone, relaxation, sport, educational or historical, literally on the door step of Golden Hill.
