Airports, transfers, payment and registration

Be honest with yourself

Who this China fat camp suits, and who it does not

Good fit

  • Healthy adults who want structure, privacy and a tropical setting
  • People who train better with a plan and someone checking in
  • Anyone who wants their own room rather than a dorm
  • Travellers from the 61 countries that can visit Hainan visa-free

Think twice

  • Diabetes, heart or kidney disease, pregnancy, an eating disorder or regular medicine: see a doctor first
  • Anyone who needs medical care on site: this is a fitness camp, not a clinic
  • People who need a guaranteed number of kilograms: nobody can promise that
  • Under-18s: bookings are for adults only

China fat camp in Hainan: questions

What is a China fat camp?

A residential weight-loss and fitness camp: you live on site, train every day, eat set meals and track your progress. Our camp is in Xinglong, Wanning, on the tropical island of Hainan, and gives every guest a private bedroom and a one-to-one training plan.

How much does the China fat camp cost?

One programme is 28 days, with your room, coaching and three meals a day included: Glimmer Room $1,542 (about $55 a day), Sunlit Room $1,887 (about $67 a day) and Aurora Loft $2,532 (about $90 a day). On the site, prices show in your own currency where we can tell it.

Do I need a visa for Hainan?

Citizens of 61 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and most of Europe, can stay in Hainan for up to 30 days without a visa if they arrive through a Hainan port. Use the passport checker on this page.

Is it a boot camp?

No. Training follows a plan built for you after your body measurements, you sleep in your own room, and meals come to your door. It is structured, but it is not a shouting drill camp.

Is this the China fat camp I saw on TikTok?

The camps in the best-known 2026 stories were near Guangzhou and in Shenzhen. This China fat camp is in Xinglong on Hainan Island and keeps the same three-sessions-a-day rhythm, but every guest has a private bedroom and meals are brought to the room.

Can I come if I am not overweight, or just for a holiday?

Yes. You do not need to be overweight, and you can treat the China fat camp as a healthy tropical holiday or a place to work remotely: your own room, meals brought to you, a pool and Wi-Fi. Join the classes you want. The price is the same.

Do the coaches speak English?

The China fat camp accepts overseas guests and says guests from Singapore and the UK have enrolled, but English-speaking coaching is not confirmed yet. Tell us in your request whether you need English and we confirm what support is available before you pay.

Can a beginner join?

Yes. Your plan starts from your measurements and experience. If you have a health condition or take regular medicine, see a doctor before you book and tell the China fat camp in advance.
