About Us | Marbella Fitness Camp

We, Lena and Frank, moved to Spain in August 2007. Frank ended his professional basketball career in 2010, and that’s when the idea for Marbella Fitness Camp was born. But we wanted it to be something unique – not just another active holiday. From the beginning, our vision was to create experiences people could share with others, and our camps should be for everyone!

In collaboration with Susanne Knudsen – one of our instructors who has been with us since day one – we launched our first two camps in 2013. At first, the focus was primarily on Zumba, but we quickly decided to include Cross Training as well.

Since then, the journey has grown from just two weeks and 26 participants to 8 months of camps in 2023 – some public, others private, tailored for boxing clubs, influencers, dance associations, fitness centres, personal trainers, and many more.

In 2022, we added a roof over half of our 600m² outdoor training area, which now allows us to welcome participants year-round without problems. Even in winter, the average temperature here is a pleasant 18°C.

When you email us, you’ll be in touch with Lena, who handles all administrative aspects. Frank is responsible for the practical side of the camps, such as first contact with private groups, transfers, the training facilities, maintenance. We are both personally present during the camps.

Our core values and goals are simple:

• Qualified and passionate instructors:
  Our instructors are not just skilled in their disciplines – they are also part of the camp experience throughout the day. They support participants, offer guidance, and help create a warm, encouraging atmosphere.
• Fresh, healthy meals suited to an active lifestyle:
  Many participants train much more during the camp than in their everyday life, which is why nutrition is a key focus. All meals are freshly prepared on-site at the resort restaurant.
• A social, welcoming community:
  Participants come from different countries, age groups, and fitness levels – and everyone is welcome. Some come alone, others with a partner, friends, or family. We organize a variety of social activities such as poolside hangouts, BBQ evenings, Spanish nights and more to help everyone connect – not just during training.
• Staff and personal presence:

We look forward to welcoming you to Marbella Fitness Camp – an experience you won’t regret!
