I feel very grateful to have been part of the chinkilla Bootcamp
experience 2022. Martial Arts, yoga, nature, sunshine, a tiny fluffy
dog, exhaustion, amazing food, laughter and the coolest Girl Gang
becoming stronger together! It was amazing to get to know you. THANK YOU!
After a long search, I found the Bootcamp in Austria – my original goal was to push myself physically, but in reality, I came home with so much more. The camp was amazing – the food on point, simply soul food – training was great, and whether you are a beginner, advanced, or have no experience at all, everyone is supported at their own level. But the absolute best part is the community ❤️ I can only recommend this camp to every woman.
This year I took part in a Chinkilla Bootcamp for the first time, and I would not want to miss this experience for anything. It’s no wonder that some women keep coming back to the camps again and again! The two founders, Sarah and Dani, are 100% passionate and absolutely authentic in what they do. Everyone is welcome, the mindset is inclusive of all. I have never before experienced such a strong community and mutual support. Everyday life has me back, but I am still holding on to this wonderful feeling of strength. I wish every woman could have this experience. What Chinkilla has created here is simply breathtaking. Try it! You won’t regret it! ;-)
I attended the Simply Badass Bootcamp, and it was absolutely amazing. Four days of community and martial arts. The house had a fantastic location, the delicious food was always freshly prepared, the team was motivated and so kind, and the daily program was just perfect. You could feel that everyone was passionate and truly loved what they do. Participating in the Simply Badass Bootcamp was incredible. It doesn’t matter where you come from, how much sport you do, or what you look like – the community that forms in the mountains in such a short time is incredible and gives you so much. The days are perfectly planned, not too much and not too little. Whether you are a beginner in sports or martial arts, or an advanced “fighter,” you will get the most out of it. I am incredibly grateful for this wonderful experience and I’m already looking forward to next year.

competent, but also totally motivating and supportive. Every training session was wonderfully designed – challenging, yet always considerate of individual abilities and personal pace. The location is fantastic, the food unbelievably delicious, and the community among us participants made the experience unforgettable once again. You are encouraged to be 100% yourself, without pressure or expectations. I can recommend the Bootcamp to anyone who wants to strengthen themselves not only physically, but also mentally. A place where you feel completely safe and welcome, while at the same time practicing the best sports in the world and learning new things – that makes it a truly unique experience!
