Fat Camps in Philadelphia

Fat camps, also known as weight-loss camps, provide the ideal setting for the overweight to take off those extra pounds. Nutritious and low-fat meals, activities centered on physical fitness and weekly weigh-ins are what set fat camps apart from other sleep-away camps. Though fat camps are typically thought of as facilities for overweight youths, more and more spas and fitness retreats are popping up around the country for adults as well. Though there are no fat camps located directly in Philadelphia, but there are several in surrounding Pennsylvania towns.
