Our Team

Kate (the blonde)created The Body Camp after falling in love with the fitness  camp concept and spends her time between the UK, Ibiza & Mallorca.

Spending her childhood on a farm, the family moved the farm to a country pub and turned it into an infamous foodies haven & live music venue. Her  brother Ben is also our Nutritional Exec Chef. Kate went on to launch & manage venues & live events across the globe for the next 25 year’s focusing on boutique hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, live music & comedy, luxury ski chalets, exclusive private members clubs and backstage Glastonbury.

When kate’s life took an unexpected turn at 30 she decided to change everything and moved to manage two military fitness boot camp companies whilst re-training in nutritional cooking & health food. She launched various camps in the UK, Ibiza, Spain, Morocco and California.

Wanting to share the empowering transformation her life took she created The Body Camp. The plan was to give people the chance to have full immersion training in great locations with amazing teachers for fast effective change & have a great laugh doing it!

She did just that.

Irish Native Emma David has been practicing yoga since she was a young teen. She really started to count on yoga to bring her a sense of calm after the death of her parents, and shortly after began recognising the benefits of a regular asana and meditation practice. She found herself feeling more aware, energised, happier and more compassionate. Her many travels to India have also deepened her yoga practice and helped with her teaching.

Emma’s classes are Dynamic Vinyassa Flow. “Yoga is a great tool for self -enquiry, and as an instructor I encourage my students to turn their focus inward during their practice to become aware of meditation in motion”.

Emma is one of the most beautiful, calm, kind souls we have ever met, we are all a little bit in love with her.

Faye is a highly intuitive holistic therapist, using a combination of developed reiki techniques and applied indigenous wisdom. Her treatments leave clients feeling elevated, blissed-out and ‘together again’. They help to bring a person back into a soft state of calm and balance.

Sessions can bring about an energetic release, often bringing insight, physical healing and inspired creative thought. A session consists of gentle ‘hands on’ body-work that is non-invasive and suitable for all ages. After the session Faye advises you on where there may be certain blocks or tensions in your body and the possible reasons why.

We think Faye brings a bit of magic to people and an experience everyone should feel.

Cass found the sass from a young age when he would perform Chain Reaction to his parents in their living room. His Mum harnessed that energy and enrolled him in modern and tap lessons at the age of three. He’s been dancing non-stop ever since and has just featured as the cover model of The Guardian body supplement!

Cassius has taught classes across London for a number of corporate clients including Arcadia Group, Google and Lululemon. He also personally trains clients.

His ethos is all about fun, ‘If you can laugh at yourself and still bring the fire, you’re winning!’

Blessed to have been born in Ibiza with Ibicenco-Canadian parents, Sapphire was totally influenced by the sun, sand and sea of the Island which had a huge impact on her love of synchronized swimming (competing at a national level). This lead her on her path to yoga where she practiced for many years around the world, ultimately completing her teacher training in India. It was in Bali where she went to practice even more yoga, that she stumbled unknowingly upon breathwork.  During that first class, Sapphire knew she had to spread the word and share the magic of this practice. She is dedicated to holding space for others to heal and for transformations to occur within them.

“Born a Prince in the Purple Rain, 11th Jan 2016 in Portinax, Ibiza,

Spotted and bought outside Beatrice cafe in Portinax, March 2016 by his lucky dad.

Became a King of Rock n Roll, 18th Aug 2017.

“The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.” – Lao Tzu

Rick has today announced Rebel was newly appointed “King Rebel” on Friday 18th August at precisely 4.07pm in San Jordi, Ibiza.

He has now departed to his new kingdom – where he is Rocking n Rolling and being a Rebel somewhere in Heaven 17 – with the king of pop and the big queens of the 80’s (Freddie Mercury, Boy George and George Michael are taking him to the edge of heaven right now as we speak!)

He packed a lifetime of living into 1.6 years and was constantly surrounded, cherished and loved by over 1000 guests from many different places on planet earth in 2016 – 2017. Taken on planes across the world by his father figure to see the kids in America (whoooaaaah) many, many times and time after time. He could be usually found hanging out at one of the Body Camp’s luxury villa’s, listening to fantastic 80’s music, watching classic 1980’s action movies or just being a total rebel to other dogs, chasing fast cars or biting people who disturbed him at night – when he wanted to sleep! (He actually took a bite at two members of Body Camp on his last day and had a fight, for his right, to party!) Rebel without a cause!

He is now resting in peace, in a secret tomb with his girlfriend (a comedy pooh cushion), carefully wrapped in his favourite blanket and basket under an incredible Plum tree, after one of our very kind founders offered a beautiful resting place, at a “Paradise City” garden in Ibiza.

His last request was to just remember the gift that he all left us with – pure love and gratitude for everyone and everything on the planet and “tell ‘em that it’s human nature…….”

Sailor

Rebel’s long lost brother….Sailor has just returned from overseas and is somewhat of a pirate. With a taste for over indulging and mutiny when possible, food is never far away but he is working hard on this. As alpha male of his tribe,  Sailor is a silent warrior and protector of the realm, such a huge responsibility makes him worry inside sometimes so he has taught himself the art of zen meditation, he’s also a keen lizard spotter.

Dude

Dude loves water, pool bombing, smelly chew’s, all toy’s, stealing guests pants, smiling, the planet, people and cuddles. He is very friendly and a crowd favourite wherever he shows up. He has a strong bond with Sailor because they were both stuck together in a hot pet shop window for 3 week’s in Ibiza. Dude also takes daily siesta classes around the pool.

Pamba

Rebel’s half sister and desperate Rick addict, she want’s nothing else in life than to be close to Rick and get Sailor to fall in love with her. Code name “sweetgirl” she is possibly the sweetest, sassiest and softess little white creature on the planet. Dont take her sweetness for weakness or she’ll bite your hand off.
