FAQs

Depending on the package you have booked, arrival times can vary. Please do check your confirmation email, which should contain this information. For early arrivals, your room is not guaranteed to be ready until 3pm, however, until it is you can use the spa facilities and lockers. Please request your early arrivals upon booking and note that an additional charge will apply.

Our four resorts, Tring, Forest Mere, Henlow and Springs, are health spas that focus entirely on health and wellbeing. Home to innovative world class treatments, cosy relaxation areas, show stopping swimming pools, high-tech thermal experiences, nutritionist approved menus, detox retreats and much more; our traditional spa retreats will nourish you from the inside out and bring you back to your best.

Our two luxury spa hotels, Eastwell Manor and Mottram Hall, feature elegant interiors, gourmet dining, glamorous bars with extensive cocktail and wine lists, afternoon tea, and a Champneys spa for that all important relaxation.

Full payment is required upon booking for all Spa Days, Stays and Treatments. Additional charges at the Resort / Hotel will be taken on departure for additional purchases. Please ensure you bring a credit / debit card with you as you will be asked for a pre-authorisation on check in.

A stay at Champneys is all about comfort, so wear something you feel happy to lounge around in, most people opt for leisure or gym wear. However, once you're in the resort towelling robes are provided for you to wear during the day, with many guests choosing to wear a swimsuit underneath. Towelling robes can be worn to breakfast and lunch, but smart/casual dress is required for your evening meal.

Flip flops are provided to all guests and are yours to keep, they are anti slip tested and certified. Given the higher risks that come with wet pool sides and spa areas we strongly recommend wearing you flip flops at all times other than when other footwear is more suitable e.g. in the gym, classes, walks. If you wish to visit the gym or attend fitness and relaxation classes, we suggest bringing two pairs of trainers; one for indoors and one for outdoors. For treatments it is normal to wear just your underwear. Your modesty is protected at all times. Please note, a deposit is held for the robe but is refunded when the robe is returned at the end of your stay.

At Champneys we encourage complete relaxation and an opportunity to switch off from the everyday pressures – we therefore encourage limited mobile phone usage throughout the resort and spa areas. While we know you may want to capture memories of your time with us; please be mindful of those around you, ensuring they are not captured in your pictures or videos. We do enjoy seeing your shared pictures on social media (@champneysspas), so please snap away while respecting others privacy and peace.

All phone calls should please be taken away from other guests and not within any quiet areas.

You will be doing a lot of exercise so we suggest that you bring plenty of clothes, think general sportswear for inside and outside. We also recommend that you bring a waterproof – just in case it rains! You will need at least two pairs of trainers, one for indoor and one for outdoor use. Depending on the time of year, we’d advise you to bring gloves, a warm hat or sun hat. If you have them, a pair of walking boots would come in handy too.

Do not worry! Our boot camps have been designed to suit all levels of fitness, shapes and sizes.

Everyone will eat together, including the instructors or a nutritionist who will be there to guide you and offer advice on how to maintain good eating habits when you are at home.

The instructors are there to help encourage, motivate and support everyone to achieve their best. We want to push you to your maximum ability and help you achieve the results you want; we also want you to enjoy yourselves and leave the camp feeling rejuvenated and motivated. The programme is designed so everyone can get the most out of it, and there are plenty of options for all abilities.

Obviously, we hope this won't happen and are confident that with the programme and the team spirit you will all enjoy the week and look forward to the challenge. Having said that, everyone will be treated as an individual and different circumstances will be taken into consideration. It is important to keep communicating with the team and the instructors to avoid this happening.

There will be a little free time available during the day due to the intensity of the programme. However, you do have some treatments included in your stay/day to help soothe those muscles after a day's exercise. Of course, you can always book additional treatments for an extra slice of pampering.

A Bootcamp leader will be dedicated to the group throughout your stay and will be there to help and support you and you will also come in to contact with many other instructors in order to give you as much variety as possible. All our instructors are highly qualified and extremely dedicated, as well as friendly and fun, and will be there to mentor you and encourage you throughout your stay.

Champneys Boot Camp is a nutrition and exercise, science-based weight loss camp. We are confident that if you dedicate the right amount of effort and commitment, we can help you achieve the results.

Most people come to a city spa in casual clothing, something they can easily slip off. If coming for a St Tropez spray tan remember to wear dark loose-fitting clothing. If you’re having a pedicure, flip-flops are a good idea.

All aspects of treatment can usually be modified to your taste: amount of light, kind of music (if any), room temperature and whether you choose to have a conversation or enjoy the treatment in silence. If you want the therapist to massage harder or to be gentler, let them know.

If you have any type of medical condition, be sure to mention it when you book an appointment. Certain treatments may not be advisable for you. Also, before your treatment begins let your therapist know of any medical concerns.

It's never required that you are unclothed in front of anyone. Our therapists will leave the treatment room while you get under the sheet on the massage table, and they keep you covered at all times except for the area of the body they are massaging. They also leave the treatment room before you get up from the treatment bed.

Try not to eat for at least an hour before a treatment and avoid the consumption of alcohol on the day of a treatment. Drink plenty of water before and after.

If possible, leave your jewellery at home. If you choose to take them with you to your treatment, remember not to leave them behind.
