China fat camp schedule and coaches

Schedule and certificates from the China fat camp’s own documents 29 October 2026 (Taipei time)

A day at the China fat camp runs from a morning weigh-in at 08:00 to lights out at 22:00, with three training sessions and three meals in between. From Monday to Saturday each session has its own class, from glutes and legs to seaside surfing. Below are the daily routine, the weekly timetable and the coaches, as written on the China fat camp’s own schedule and certificates. All times are Hainan time (UTC+8).

A day at the China fat camp

The day is built around regular meals and a long rest in the middle, so you train three times without running yourself down. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are brought to your room.

1. 08:00–08:30Wake up and morning weigh-in
2. 09:00–09:30Breakfast
3. 10:00–11:30Morning training
4. 12:00–12:30Lunch
5. 12:40–14:40Rest and recovery
6. 15:00–16:40Afternoon training
7. 17:30–18:00Dinner
8. 19:00–20:00Evening session
9. 22:00Lights out

The morning weigh-in comes before breakfast, so your numbers are taken the same way every day. The two-hour break after lunch is for rest and recovery: shower, nap, read or sit by the pool. The evening session is lighter on some days, with breathing practice or board games instead of hard training.

Weekly class timetable

The China fat camp timetable gives each day a different focus, so the same muscles are not worked two days running. Mornings are mostly strength (legs, back, shoulders, chest and arms), afternoons are cardio and endurance, and evenings mix swimming, conditioning and something social.

What the classes are

• HYROX-style endurance: running mixed with functional stations such as sled pushes, rowing and wall balls, built to raise your fitness over a long effort.
• TABATA intervals: 20 seconds of hard work and 10 seconds of rest, repeated in short rounds.
• Equipment circuit: a loop through the gym machines and free weights with short breaks.
• Seaside surfing and coconut-grove cycling: outdoor sessions that depend on the weather and the sea. See the outdoors page.
• Three-cavity alignment: the camp’s own name for an evening class on Tuesday. Ask us if you want to know what it covers before you arrive.
• Foot arch conditioning and breathing practice: lighter evening sessions for posture, feet and recovery.

Sunday is not on the timetable. Outdoor sessions change with conditions, and your coach may adapt a class to your level, so treat the timetable as the usual week rather than a fixed promise.

The China fat camp coaches

The China fat camp sent us the certificates of three coaches. We list each one exactly as the document states it, with its date. Which coach works with you depends on your dates.

CBBA is the Chinese Bodybuilding Association, which certifies fitness coaches in China. IUSCA is the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association; its Level 1 certificate is the foundation level. The Athlete365 and CPAL records show courses Lechen Sun has completed.

Questions to put in your booking notes

Your coach, your class level and your language needs are easiest to sort out before you arrive. When you book your dates, write down your goals, your training experience and whether you need English, and we pass it to the China fat camp. Read more about the programme, the meals and the rooms.
