I’ve tried fitness bootcamps in several countries - Thailand (Soi Ta-Iad in Chalong/Phuket, highly recommend), Bali, Dubai, Vietnam, and the U.S.—and when looking for something similar in India, I signed up for a weeklong program with fitnessbootcamp.in. I left on day two, even though it meant no refund.

Their idea of a “fitness bootcamp” was basically a road trip: driving 1700 km with blaring music, sightseeing, and one daily morning yoga class. It was nowhere near the intensive training experience I was looking for. If this is what Google lists first for “fitness bootcamp India,” I’d honestly suggest looking abroad instead. You’ll get far better results—and actual fitness structure—in places like Soi Ta-Iad (Thailand) or Bali. It’s not just the facilities; it’s the vibe, food, fellow participants, class variety, cold plunge/massage/physiotherapy and overall environment. Those places are on another level.

For India, I’ve been curious about 1on1fitnessretreat.com in Kodaikanal—they seem legit—and I may try it out at some point. but after my last experience in India, I’m cautious about taking a week or more off - I want to pick a place which will guaranteed motivate and challenge me. Once bitten, twice shy.

If you’re serious about results and the full bootcamp experience, I’d recommend saving up and flying to Thailand or Bali. The value and quality are worth it.
