About Us | Marbella Fitness Camp
We, Lena and Frank, moved to Spain in August 2007. When Frank concluded his professional basketball career in 2010, the idea for Marbella Fitness Camp began to take shape. From the start, he wanted to create something more meaningful than a standard active holiday. Our vision became clear: to offer shared experiences in an inviting environment where everyone feels welcome.
In collaboration with Susanne Knudsen – one of our dedicated instructors who has been with us since day one – we launched our first two camps in 2013. Initially focused on Zumba, we soon expanded to include Cross Training to give our participants a more varied and dynamic program.
What began as two weeks with 26 participants has grown into a thriving year-round operation. By 2023, Marbella Fitness Camp offered eight months of camps annually – both public and private – tailored for boxing clubs, influencers, dance associations, fitness centres, personal trainers, and more.
In 2022, we upgraded our facilities by adding a roof to half of our 600 m² outdoor training area. This enhancement allows us to welcome guests throughout the entire year. Even in winter, the average temperature here remains a comfortable 18°C.
When you get in touch with us, you’ll speak with Lena, who manages all administrative communication. Frank handles the practical operations of the camps, including coordination with private groups, transfers, training facilities, and maintenance. We are both personally present during the camps to ensure a smooth and memorable experience for every participant.
Our core values and goals are simple:
- Qualified, passionate instructors:
Our instructors are not only experts in their fields – they are an active part of the camp community throughout the day. They support participants, provide guidance, and help cultivate a positive and motivating environment. - Fresh, healthy meals for an active lifestyle:
Training intensity often increases significantly during the camp. That’s why nutrition is a central part of the experience. All meals are freshly prepared on-site in the resort restaurant to ensure quality, balance, and great taste. - A warm, inclusive community:
Our participants come from many countries, ages, and fitness levels – and everyone is genuinely welcome. Whether you join on your own or with friends, family, or a partner, you’ll quickly feel at home. We host a variety of social activities such as poolside gatherings, BBQ evenings, and Spanish-themed nights to make it easy to connect both on and off the training ground. - Dedicated staff and personal presence:
We are consistently present throughout the camps, ensuring support, connection, and a personalised experience for all participants.
We look forward to welcoming you to Marbella Fitness Camp – an experience we believe you will remember fondly.
